The groundhog ("Marmota monax"), also known as a woodchuck, or whistlepig, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots.
 It was first scientifically described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758.
 The groundhog is also referred to as a chuck, wood-shock, groundpig, whistler, thickwood badger, Canada marmot, monax, moonack, weenusk, and red monk.
 The name "thickwood badger" was given in the Northwest to distinguish the animal from the prairie badger.
 Monax was a Native American name of the woodchuck, which meant "the digger".
 Young groundhogs may be called chucklings.
 Other marmots, such as the yellow-bellied and hoary marmots, live in rocky and mountainous areas, but the groundhog is a lowland creature.
 It is widely distributed in North America and common in the northeastern and central United States and Canada.
 Groundhogs are found as far north as Alaska, with their habitat extending southeast to Georgia.
The Balkan Snow Vole, Dinaromys bogdanovi, also known as Martino's Snow Vole is the only member of the genus Dinaromys.
 Eight subspecies of this vole have been recognized from southern parts of Europe.
 The genus name means "Dinaric mouse", referring to the Dinaric Alps.
 The Balkan Snow Vole is a living fossil, the only living genus in the tribe Pliomyini and might arguably better be placed in "Pliomys", a genus established for its fossil relatives even before the Balkan Snow Vole was scientifically described.
The Araripe manakin ("Antilophia bokermanni") is a critically endangered bird from the family of manakins ("Pipridae").
 It was discovered in 1996 and scientifically described in 1998.
 The species epithet commemorates Brazilian zoologist and wildlife filmmaker Werner Bokermann, who died in 1995.
 Because of its helmet-like crown it has received the Portuguese name "soldadinho-do-araripe" which means ""little soldier of Araripe"".
 This name also associates it with the related, but more widespread, helmeted manakin ("Antilophia galeata"), which is known simply as the "soldadinho".
The Asháninka arboreal chinchilla rat ("Cuscomys ashaninka") is a large species of chinchilla rats from the Andes of far northern Cusco in Peru.
 It was first scientifically described in 1999.
 The animal has grey fur, with a white nose and lips, and a line of white fur running down its head.
 It is 30 cm in length, with a tail of 20 cm .
Marius Tucă (born 29 July 1966, Caracal, Olt County, Romania) is a Romanian journalist and TV host.
The caracal ("Caracal caracal") is a medium-sized wild cat native to Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and India.
 The caracal is characterised by a robust build, long legs, a short face, long tufted ears and long canine teeth.
 Its coat is uniformly reddish tan or sandy, while the ventral parts are lighter with small reddish markings.
 It reaches 40 - at the shoulder and weighs 8 - .
 It was first scientifically described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1777.
 Eight subspecies are recognised.
The white-crowned forktail ("Enicurus leschenaulti") is a species of forktail in the family Muscicapidae.
 Scientifically described in 1818, it has six subspecies, each occupying a different geographic range.
 The largest of the forktails, "Enicurus leschenaulti", is between 25 and long.
 It has a black throat and breast, black mantle, and largely black wings.
 The rump and lower back are white, and the bird has a prominent white crown, from which it gets its name.
 As with other forktails, the tail is long, deeply forked, and banded in black and white.
 A variety of whistling and clicking calls have been described.
 Slight morphological differences have been observed between subspecies.
The Antioquia brush finch ("Atlapetes blancae") is a poorly known species from the Emberizidae family.
 It was scientifically described in 2007 on basis of three museum specimens from Antioquia, Colombia, which were previously labelled as slaty brush finches ("Atlapetus schistaceus").
 The specific epithet "blancae" refers to the whitish underparts of the new species, while also commemorating the Colombian lepidopterologist Blanca Huertas, the wife of ornithologist Thomas M. Donegan (who described the species).
 All three museum skins were collected in the 20th century, but only one label has a date, which is given as 1971.
 Subsequent fieldwork in Antioquia has failed to find this species again.
 The species description has been approved by the South American Classification Committee.
 It has been recommended for a critically endangered status.
The Sangha forest robin (Stiphrornis erythrothorax sanghensis) is a subspecies of the forest robin that is endemic to south-western Central African Republic, but may also occur in adjacent parts of DR Congo, Cameroon and Republic of the Congo.
 It was only discovered in 1996, and scientifically described in 1999.
 When recognized as a species by IUCN, it was considered data deficient, but following recommendations by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group, IUCN now consider it a subspecies of the forest robin.
 It has been described as common.
Stephen Troyte Dunn (26 August 1868, Bristol - 18 April, 1938, Sheen, Surrey, England) was a British botanist.
 He described and systematized a significant number of plants around the world, his input most noticeable in the taxonomy of the flora of China.
 Among the plants he first scientifically described was "Bauhinia blakeana", the national flower of Hong Kong.
