African Elephant

There are two types of the ***African Elephant*** (*Loxodonta africana*); the ***African bush elephant***, which is the world's largest living land animal, and the smaller ***African forest elephant*** (*Loxodonta cyclotis*) that lives in the rainforests of central and western Africa. The African bush elephant is a social animal and like its cousin, the Asian Elephant, it forms a group called a herd, a parade, or a memory consisting of related female elephants and their young.

The leader of the elephant herd is always the eldest and largest female. Male elephants leave their groups at puberty, driven away by older females, to go and join a group of other young males. Males compete to mate, and usually these contests are settled by pushing and aggressive displays, but sometimes fighting leads bigger to fatal injuries.

The African forest elephant also forms a large group, but is also able to maintain contact with other elephants in the dense jungle by producing deep, rumbling calls.

American Mink

American mink (*Neovison vison*) are small carnivores that live close to water, where they feed on small aquatic animals. They originally came from North America, but were brought to Europe and Asia to be farmed for their fine fur. They have since escaped into the wild and are now a common pest. They are also competition for the similar, but very rare, European mink.

Mink prefer to live in areas with plenty of cover. Their river-bed dens are generally deserted burrows made by other river mammals, but mink will dig their own when necessary.

Mink are active at night and dive into water to snatch their prey. They live alone and will defend their own stretches of riverbank against intruders. A litter of up to five young is born two months after mating inside dry, underground nests lined with fur, feathers and leaves. In autumn the young begin to fend for themselves.

Tiger

Tigers (*Panthera tigris*) lack the speed of other cats, but their large and strong hind legs allow them to make leaps of up to 10m in length. They have retractable claws, which means that they stay sharp, not getting worn down in day-to-day life. Their foreshortened jaws give them immense crushing power in their bites.

Predominantly solitary, tiger groups usually consist of mothers and their young, which stay with them for two years. Clearly marked home ranges keep accidental meetings and disputes to a minimum, but high levels of social tolerance has been observed, often at kill sites.

Tigers are now critically endangered due to poaching, logging and deforestation.
Beluga

Beluga (*Delphinapterus leucas*) means white in Russian, so these whales are sometimes called white whales. However, they should not be confused with the white sturgeon - large fish that produce beluga caviar. Belugas also have a nickname - sea canaries - because they call to each other with high-pitched trills.

Belugas live in the far north, where days are almost absent or very short for much of the year. Some beluga pods (schools or groups) spend all their time in one area of the ocean, such as the Gulf of St Lawrence. Other pods are always on the move. The pods are ruled by large males, and all pods spend their winters away from areas of thick ice, which may mean being farther or nearer to land depending on where they are. In summer, they enter river estuaries and shallow bays.

They navigate using a well-developed sonar system, thought to be controlled by their melons, which are large sensory organs on top of their heads. Most calves are born in late summer, and their mothers will mate again in early summer a year or two later.

Leopard Seal

In July 2003 a scientist was killed by a leopard seal (*Hydrurga leptonyx*) while snorkelling at a research station on the Antarctic peninsula. A fellow scientist warned that these huge-headed, reptilian-looking killers were sizing up people as prey. Leopard seals, which grow to 400kg and can swim at 40kph, will eat anything from krill, which they filter from the water through their teeth, to juvenile elephant seals. The scientist's was the first recorded death but there have been other non-fatal attacks and some research scientists now fit special protective guards to their inflatable boats to prevent punctures caused by leopard seals.

Alpine Ibex

Images of ibex (*Capra ibex*) appear in Neolicthic cave paintings throughout central Europe. It was hunted almost to extinction until, in 1922, there was a single population left in Italy. Protection, conservation measures and reintroduction to other areas have led to a recovery and there are now about 2000 in the French Vanoise National Park alone. Alpine ibex are nimble and the young can jump and run after just one day. They live on or near the snowline, moving up the mountain in summer before breeding in the autumn. Males develop huge necks and chests and will fight predators such as wolves, lynxes, bears and jackals.
Common Raccoon

Raccoons (*Procyon lotor*) live in woodland areas and rarely stray far from water. They are more active at night than during the day. Periods of rest are spent in dens in tree hollows or other sheltered places. When on the move, raccoons will readily swim across streams and rivers and will climb into trees in search of food. They use their touch-sensitive hands to grab prey and then break it into mouth-sized pieces.

Raccoons do not hibernate in warmer parts of their range, although in cooler northern parts they may do so. In fact, they only semi-hibernate, popping out every now and then to feed during breaks in the severest weather.

Males are largely solitary but will tolerate the presence of females living in or near their territories. Mating takes place in spring, and young are born a couple of months later. The young stay with their mothers until the following spring.

Red Kangaroo

The red kangaroo (*Macropus rufus*) is the largest of the 61 species comprising the kangaroo and wallaby family, and stands up to 1.8m tall on its hind legs. This marsupial mammal has a unique way of travelling. When grazing, it moves around slowly by supporting its body on its forelegs and tail and swinging its back legs forewards. When moving fast however, it hops on its powerful back legs and can make single leaps of more than 9m.

This is a very efficient way of moving across rough terrain, and kangaroos bounce along at speeds of up to 48kph on their springy back legs, using much less effort than a running placental mammal of similar size.

Kangaroos live in dry conditions and can live for long periods without water. They are able to survive on low-quality vegetation found in dry habitats, thanks to a digestion process that uses gut bacteria to help break down tough plant material. However, unlike other large species of kangaroos, reds usually move in search of better feeding conditions during droughts, sometimes travelling more than 200km. Red kangaroos are not territorial, but males will fight one another by boxing with their arms and kicking with their back legs, to win control of groups of females during the breeding season.

Chimpanzee

These intelligent, social animals (*Pan troglodytes*) are very closely related to human beings, and give us some indication of the kind of animal from which we evolved. Indeed, chimps have a number of characteristics that were once thought to be exclusively human. For example, they are able to construct and use simple tools - tasks that few other animals, except humans and orangutans, are capable of. One tool commonly used by chimps is a probe, made of a thin twig stripped of leaves, which is inserted into termite nests to extract these insects, which are then eaten.

Chimps live in groups comprising 15-80 animals, which have complex social structures. The dominant males are not necessarily the biggest or strongest individuals, but the ones best able to recruit the most allies. Chimps are territorial, and neighbouring groups are often aggressive towards one another. Indeed, chimps share an unpleasant characteristic with humans: they go to war, and sometimes individuals of one group will hunt and kill members of a neighbouring group.

Cougar

Cougars (*Puma concolor*) are also known as pumas, panthers or mountain lions, and have the most widespread distribution of any American species. They live in nearly all habitats, from mountainsides of the Canadian Rockies to the jungles of the Amazon and the swamps of Florida.

The cougar is the largest of the small cats in America, males reaching over 2m long. They patrol large territories, moving during both day and night and taking shelter in caves and thickets. A cougar's preferred food is large deer, such as mule deer or elk. They stalk their prey before bringing it down with a single bite to the throat, or ambush it from a high vantage point. Cougars live alone, and mark their territories with their scent and by scraping visual signs in the soil and on trees.
Wolverine

Wolverines (*Gulo gulo*) are giant relatives of the weasels. As well as the conifer forests of North America, they are found in northern Europe and Siberia, where they are known as gluttons due to their catholic feeding habits.

Wolverines are generally nocturnal, but will forage by day if they need to. Their diet varies throughout the year. In summer, they feed on small animals, such as rodents and ground-living birds, and readily feast on summer fruits. In winter, when most other carnivores are hibernating, wolverines may tackle bigger prey, such as deer. Their wide feet act as snowshoes, allowing them to walk over deep snow, in which hapless deer are defenseless and unable to make their escape.

Wolverines mate in early summer and young are born in underground dens the following spring. They leave their mothers in the autumn.

Andean Condor

According to the Embera Indians of Colombia's Choco forest this is how mankind multiplied: for some time the first men, called *Jiti*, had seen condors (*Vultur gryphus*) 'from the land above', with bodies like women, come to a river, take off their condor's clothing and bathe, before getting dressed and flying away. One day the *Jiti* stole the clothing of one of the condors so she couldn't return home. This bird stayed on earth and bore many children with the *Jiti*, eventually populating the world. That is how important this 'messenger of the sun' - one of the largest flying birds - is to the people of the Andes. Nevertheless, it is shot and poisoned as a pest (it takes newborn livestock as well as sick animals and carrion) and its numbers are in serious decline.

Plains Zebra

There are three different species of zebra (*Equus quagga*), all found in Africa and each with its own distinct pattern of black and white stripes. The stripes make these hoofed mammals blend into the natural patterns of light and shade in their habitat, making it more difficult for a predator to keep track of its quarry during a chase, especially when the zebras are running in a herd formation.

Zebras usually live in small family groups headed by dominant stallions, which lead groups of one to six mares with their young. When young male zebras reach maturity, they leave their family groups and form groups of bachelor males, while females stay behind. Males fight amongst each other for access to females, circling and trying to kick or bite one another. Within a group, zebras can be affectionate, and may spend a lot of time grooming one another.

Leopard

The leopard (*Panthera pardus*) is widespread across most of Africa and southern Asia, ranging from open grassland to tropical rainforest and mountain highlands. It is an opportunistic feeder, choosing mainly large hoofed mammals, such as deer and antelope, but will take birds, rabbits and even dung beetles if prey is scarce.

Leopards are well adapted for climbing trees and have been seen hiding the corpses of prey high in the branches to eat later. They hunt mostly during the day to avoid competition with nocturnal lions and hyenas.

Leopards vary greatly in colour depending on their habitat. On the savannah they are usually a sandy ochre, while the high mountain leopards are very dark gold. They tend to have short legs on long bodies, and their fur is covered in black spots or rosettes. Completely black leopards - black panthers - are usually found only in forests, but they do not represent a different subspecies, merely an infrequent mutation.
Frostpaw

Frost's discord icon.

Frostpaw appears as a small, almost sickly white cat with blue eyes and a long tail.

## Personality

Frostpaw is a very cheerful cat, who loves talking with others. He loves listening to other cats, and could listen to hours upon hours of one cat talking. Any cat Frostpaw meets will likely become his new friend.

Living a quiet, peaceful life in the Asphodel far away from the reaches of anyone except Voice, company is lacking, so Frostpaw has a habit of talking to themselves or making up little stories.

They show that they deeply love Voice, calling the other 'Darkpaw' or 'Darkiepaw' affectionately. Voice, despite their usual cold front, shows a softer side when around Frostpaw, showering the cat in love.

## Extra

Frostpaw was originally a BrinkClan cat born to the Warriors Mistpelt and Hawkears, the only kit of the couple's only litter.

Born mute, Frostpaw was quickly rejected by his father, and his mother seemed to not really notice she'd even borne him. They lived a lonely and isolated life, with the only attention they were given was when Mistpelt yelled at him.

Frostpaw liked to go wandering in BrinkClan's territory, which is where they stumbled upon Voice. Excited by the possibly of a new friend, he and the black cat quickly bonded. Voice, a stranger companionship and Frostpaw, a stranger to affection, fit each other perfectly.

The two fell in love, with Voice visiting Frostpaw daily on the BrinkClan border. They spent hours together, playing and exploring. However, it did not go unnoticed that Mistpelt treated his son cruelly.

After a failed training session, Mistpelt unsheathed his claws and was ready to scar his son, but Voice burst out of a clump of grass at the last moment and scared Mistpelt away with their appearance. The two ran away, leaving the Clan territories as they left everything they'd known.

Frostpaw, weak from exhaustion and cold, succumbed one night while curled up with Voice. The black cat, blind with rage and grief, went back to the Clans and killed Mistpelt in revenge for Frostpaw's death. Wishing to give Frostpaw a better life, Voice reincarnated Frostpaw and gave him a unique plane of existence-the Asphodel.
Guanaco

Guanacos (*Lama guanicoe*) are considered the wild relatives of the domestic llamas and alpacas. They are distant cousins of the camels of Africa and Asia. Like camels, guanacos have adapted to living in dry areas, although their preferred habitat - alpine grassland - is not as hot as the habitats of most camels.

Like their domestic relatives, guanacos are fast runners. They have more haemoglobin (oxygen-carrying pigment) in their red blood cells than any other mammal. This allows them to survive at altitude.

Guanacos mainly graze on grass, but they also pluck leaves from shrubs. They live in herds of about 15 individuals. Each herd is controlled by one adult male. Once a young guanaco reaches adulthood, it is chased away by the dominant male.
Vicuna

The wool of the vicuna (*Vicugna vicugna*), which has been domesticated since pre-Incan times, is hugely valuable. This makes the vicuna, which is endangered in the wild, a prime target for poachers who sell the pelts on the black market. Each year several hundred pelts are confiscated.

Vicuna are shy, alert, graceful animals that graze on open land in family groups, retiring to the mountains at night. When in danger, they give a clear whistling warning call. The vicuna controls its body temperature by exposing bare patches on its inner thighs in hot weather and clamping its legs tight over them in the cold. Some Andean peoples continue to worship the vicuna as a daughter of the fertility goddess Pachamama.
Orca

Orcas (*Orcinus orca*) are also known as killer whales. They are expert hunters, being armed with up to 50 large, pointed teeth, and they catch prey in all areas of the ocean. Although orcas have been detected 1km below the surface, they prefer to hunt in shallow coastal waters and often swim into bays and mouths of rivers to snatch food near the shore.

Orcas typically live in pods of five or six individuals. Generally each pod is run by a large male, although larger groups have several adult males. Females and their young may split off into subgroups. Like other toothed whales and dolphins, orcas produce clicking sounds that are used for echolocation. The whales also communicate with each other using high-pitched screams and whistles. Orcas have several hunting techniques. They break pack ice from beneath, knocking their prey into the water, or they may rush into shallow water to grab prey from the shore. It is reported that they may crash onto the shore to drive prey into the surf where other members of the pod pick them off. Orcas breed throughout the year, although most mate in the early summer and give birth in the autumn of the following year.
Blue Jay

The vivid cobalt or azure of a blue jay (*Cyanocitta cristata*) feather is instantly eye-catching but in fact there is no blue pigmentation in birds' feathers and the colour is a result of light refracting in the feather's particular inner structure. Squash the feather and the colour goes.

The call of the blue jay has been described as an 'unrelenting steel-cold scream', rather unkind but very near the mark. This perky, popular bird, often caricatured in books and cartoons, is the sentinel of the woods and forests, calling out its raucous *jay-jay* warning when it spots an intruder. Its elegant appearance is exposed as a sham at the bird feeder where it pushes and shoves others out of the way. An omnivore, it performs a great service by devouring the pupae of the pestiferous tent caterpillar, each pair feeding hundreds to their nestlings in the early summer.
Virginia Opossum

Virginia opossums (*Didelphis virginiana*) generally live in forested areas that receive plenty of rain. However, the species is very adaptable and is making its home in new places across North America. Many survive in more open country beside streams or in swamps, while others make their homes in people's sheds and barns.

Virginia opossums are most active at night. By day they rest in nests of leaves and grass, hidden away in crevices, hollow trees and sometimes in burrows. By night, the marsupials hunt for food. They are good climbers, using their prehensile tails to cling to branches.

Virginia opossums do not hibernate, but they do put on fat as the days shorten with the approach of autumn. They rely on this fat to keep them going during the periods of harshest winter weather, when they cannot get out to feed. In the very coldest parts of their range, these marsupials sometimes suffer frostbite on their naked tails and thin ears.

Mating takes place in both late winter and spring. The young are only 1cm long and underdeveloped when born. Over 20 are born, but the mother can only suckle 13 at once, so the weaker babies die.
Hyacinthwing

> "I won't be beaten by an apprentice."
>
>

Hyacinthwing is a white tom with ginger tabby splotches on his face, back and tail. He has alluring jasper-colored eyes.

## Personality

Hyacinthwing is a shy tom with a secret ambition to become deputy, but his introverted nature could stop him from reaching his goals. While he struggles to step out of his shell, he often sneaks out to train on his own. He hopes that his battle skills could show his potential as deputy. Although he works very hard, Hycainthwing would not brag about it. He believes that empathy and compassion is a major trait in a good leader.

## Past

When Applefire was in the nursery with her kits, the deputy position that she wished for opened up. She was a good candidate, but she was overlooked due to her position as a queen. Ever since, she resented her own kits. Hyacinthwing worked since kithood to become deputy, because he hopes to earn her love.
Bobcat

The bobcat (*Lynx rufus*) is renowned for its ferocity but it rarely attacks humans. There are probably about a million bobcats in the United States with greater population densities in some areas than in others where it has been driven out as a pest. It will eat small domestic animals and poultry but is more likely to hunt rodents, rabbits, large birds, reptiles and small deer. It stalks its prey and pounces on the unwary victim, snapping the neck with its jaws. Once extensively hunted for its pelt, it is now listed as a species of special concern and although some states allow regulated hunting it is protected in others. It lives a solitary life and males and females come together only to mate in the early spring.
Great White Shark

The great white shark (*Carcharodon carcharias*) has a fearsome reputation, thanks largely to Peter Banchley's novel *Jaws* and the series of films based on it. It is the largest predatory fish around, though reports of 10mm monsters are probably just sailors' yarns, and it accounts for about 5-10 human deaths every year. However, the shark has far more to fear from us. We catch it for the prize of its awesome teeth and jaws, we turn its fins into soup and its skin into handbags, squeeze its liver for oil, and use the carcass for fish meal.

Considering its renown, remarkably little is known about the great white shark. Its reproductive system is not fully understood, we do not know how long it lives, and we cannot be sure why it occasionally attacks humans. One thing is certain - it is not interested in eating us. It does not make a meal of its human victims, preferring fish and marine mammals with plenty of nutritious blubber.

Southern Cassowary

The flightless cassowary (*Casuarius casuarius*) plays an essential part in maintaining the plant diversity of the wet tropics of Queensland, Australia, by dispersing the seeds of the fruit it eats. Of the 150 trees and vines which depend on the cassowary, 70 have seeds too large for other creatures to eat and 80 produce toxic seeds which only the cassowary can safely consume, thanks to its rapid digestive system. Without the cassowary, seeds would only germinate near parent trees and species would become confined to pockets, changing the structure of the forest. The double-wattled cassowary, as it is also known, is under threat from habitat destruction, traffic and dog attack (especially near residential areas where it becomes tame through hand feeding). There might be as few as 900 left although some estimates put the figure at 1500. The casque protects the bird's head as it runs through the forest undergrowth.

Black Rhinoceros

The **Black Rhinoceros** or **hook-lipped rhinoceros** (*Diceros bicornis*) is a species of rhinoceros, native to eastern and southern Africa. It, along with the White Rhinoceros (*Ceratotherium simum*) are the two species of African rhinoceros. The Black Rhinoceros is generally smaller than the White Rhinoceros, with a shorter stature and a hook-shaped lip as opposed to a square-shaped lip. Although the rhinoceros is referred to as "black", its colors are various from brown to gray. It is also possible that a Black Rhinoceros is darker shaded gray than the White Rhinoceros, which could be another reason for its given namesake.

The Black Rhinoceros is now classed as critically endangered due to extensive poaching for its horns, even though the Southwestern Black Rhinoceros is classed as vulnerable. Three subspecies, including the Western Black Rhinoceros, have been declared extinct. The Western Black Rhinoceros was declared extinct by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) in 2011.
Emu

Severe drought conditions sometimes drive hungry, thirsty emus (*Dromaius novaehollandiae*) into urban areas where they can create havoc - wrecking gardens, running into traffic and getting into scraps with pet dogs. One reason why these flightless birds are so difficult to deal with is that they run so fast. In open countryside they can cover the ground at up to 50kph, with a swaying, bouncing motion. Emus eat insects such as grasshoppers but feed mainly on green herbage like grass and flowers - which is why they should be kept out of gardens. Although wild birds are protected in Australia, emus are farmed throughout the world, yielding low-cholesterol, low-fat meat, highly penetrating non-toxic oil (used in cosmetics), soft and supple leather and exotic feathers for the fashion industry.
Fossa

The fossa (*Cryptoprocta ferox*) is the largest carnivore in Madagascar. Looking very similar to a cat, it hunts by leaping through the trees to prey on lemurs and other small animals, such as birds and frogs. The fossa lives alone, patrolling its forest territory at dawn and dusk and sheltering in caves or inside disused termite mounds by day.

Fossas sometimes attack domestic animals, such as pigs and poultry, and are often killed as pests by people, who also unnecessarily fear that the fossas may attack them. This persecution, combined with the destruction of their forest habitat, means that fossas have become very rare, like much of Madagascar's native wildlife.

Fossas only spend time with other members of their species during the breeding season, which is in September and October. The females give birth three months later, in the height of summer.

Brown-throated Sloth

This creature (*Bradypus variegatus*) is as sluggish as its name suggests. Not only does it rest or sleep for up to 20 hours a day, but every move it makes is made incredibly slowly. The brown-throated sloth is particularly slow on the ground. Its curved feet and weak limbs prevent it from standing so it can only crawl or grasp something to haul itself up. This gentle animal is far more at home in the tops or middle layers of trees where it hangs upside down from all four limbs, moving slowly paw-by-paw along the branches. All activities are carried out in this position including eating, mating and giving birth. A single offspring is born once a year and spends the first five weeks or so of its life clinging to its mother's belly.

Sloths eat tree leaves, shoots and foliage, mainly of the cecropia tree that grows near clearings, river banks and forest edges.

Hooded Seal

Hooded seals (*Cystophora cristata*) rarely approach land, preferring to spend their whole lives among the ice floes in the cold Arctic Ocean. Apart from during the breeding season, hooded seals live alone. They dive down to depths of more than 180m to catch shoaling fish and bottom-living creatures.

When the breeding season arrives in spring, the seals congregate on wide ice floes. The females take up widely spaced positions on the ice, preparing to give birth to the young conceived the year before. Meanwhile, males compete for access to small groups of females. The victors stay near the females as they nurse their newborn calves, chasing away any intruders while inflating their nasal balloons.

Hooded seal pups are suckled for only four days - the shortest time of any mammal - after which the mothers abandon them.

Green Iguana

High up in the branches of mangrove trees, well camouflaged by leaves, the green iguana (*Iguana iguana*) feels fairly well protected and browses on leaves, flowers and fruit. If it is threatened, this large lizard will dive from the tree into a swamp or river and swim to safety. It can fall 12-15 metres to the ground unhurt if the water is too far away to break its fall. Not all of its time is spent climbing or swimming: the cold-blooded iguana also lies on rocks basking in the sunshine.

The green iguana has long been hunted for food by South Americans, who call it 'bamboo chicken', although some say the taste resembles rabbit. Many wild iguanas have been captured for the pet industry but iguana farms now cater for the trade and laws protect it from over-hunting.

Moose

Moose (*Alces alces*) are the largest deer in the world. They live in the cold conifer forests that cover northern mountains and lowlands. As well as in North America, moose live across northern Europe and Siberia, but are known as elk there.

Moose plod through the forests and marshes, browsing on a wide range of leaves, mosses and lichens. They often feed in the shallows of streams and rivers, nibbling on aquatic vegetation. These large deer have even been seen diving underwater to uproot water plants. In summer, they are most active at dawn and dusk. In winter, they are active throughout the day. They paw the snow to reveal buried plants and twigs. Although moose may gather together to feed, they spend most of the year alone. In the autumn mating season, males fight each other for females.
King Cobra

The king cobra (*Ophiophagus hannah*) is one of the largest snakes in the world, sometimes reaching 5.5m. It can rear up as tall as a human. It has flaps of loose skin around the head that can be flattened out to form a narrow hood. The king cobra is not strictly a true cobra and, as such, has an unmarked hood.

Depending on its habitat, the king cobra may vary its colour, and it is often darker when in forest than when in open savannah. It has good eyesight and will chase down fleeing prey over long distances. Unusually, king cobras eat only reptiles - mostly other snakes.

The intelligent king cobra is the only snake known to build a nest, which is fiercely guarded by the female. Once hatched, the young are just as deadly as the adults, ready to hunt from only ten days old. The smaller young are vulnerable to mongooses and giant centipedes, but the only threat to the adults tends to come from humans, who kill them for use in medicinal drugs.

Dhole

The dhole (*Cuon alpinus*), or Asian red dog, ranges from the alpine forests of Russia to the rainforests as far south as Java, but never lives in open habitats. A highly social animal, it is often seen in packs of around ten animals, sometimes as many as 25. In these packs it hunts large deer and sheep up to ten times as big as itself, and has been seen killing tigers and bears.

Larger victims are often partially devoured while still alive. An adult dhole can eat 4kg of meat in one hour. The animal has a powerful square jaw, enabling it to disembowl its prey easily.

Whether hunting or resting, the dhole leads a well-organized life. The existence of strict hierarchies in packs means that fighting is rare. Females are very sociable and will share their dens with other mothers while giving birth. The males of pack will help out by hunting and regurgitating food for hungry pups and mothers to eat.
Blue Wildebeest

The blue wildebeest (*Connochaetes taurinus*), also known as the gnu, is one of the most abundant large mammals in Africa. There are thought to be 1.5 million migratory individuals in the Serengeti alone, forming the greatest concentration of wild grazing animals on Earth. Some herds stay in the same place; others are nomadic, constantly searching for new sources of food.

The males leave their herds when they are over a year old, forming groups of bachelors. At about three or four years old, males set up small territories which they defend from other males, and attempt to mate with females entering their areas. Mating activity is seasonal, and is usually timed so that the majority of calves are born close to the beginning of the rainy season, when new grass is plentiful.

Although populations have increased in the Serengeti, numbers have declined in other areas, such as south-west Botswana. There, competition with livestock and destruction of crops has prompted farmers to kill wildebeest and set up long fences to prevent them from migrating to wetlands when there are seasonal droughts.

Honey Badger

The sweet tooth of this fierce creature (*Mellivora capensis*) and its fondness for honey have led to its common name of honey badger, also known as the ratel. It works in co-operation with a honeyguide bird to find a bees' nest. The honeyguide first alerts the honey badger by calling and swooping until the animal follows the bird to the booty. Most of the bees flee from the honey badger's foul-smelling secretions, leaving their honey for the invader who, in turn, leaves grubs and honeycomb for its guide.

Described as having the courage of a lion, the honey badger has a formidable reputation as a hunter, undaunted by the size of its prey. It has been known to attack buffalo and wildebeest and even cattle and horses. Strangely enough, in captivity the honey badger shows another side to its character, becoming tame, playful and easy to train.
North American River Otter

North American river otters (*Lontra canadensis*) rarely stray far from the banks of shallow rivers. They live alone or in pairs, but often play with other individuals in the area. This play strengthens social ties. Each of the otters has an individual scent which it uses to mark its territory. River otters communicate with each other through sounds such as whistles, growls, chuckles and screams.

North American river otters are known for their boundless energy, and they must eat frequently. They catch fish in their mouths and detect other prey by feeling with their whiskers along the bottoms of streams. Unlike many other otters which chew their food, the river otter's prey is gulped down immediately.

Mating takes place in March and April. The young are born almost a year later. The females give birth in dens close to the water's edge. They drive the males away soon after the birth of their young, but the dog otters return later to help raise the offspring. The young depart at the age of one year.

Common Bottlenose Dolphin

The performer most likely to be seen in a sealife park is the bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*). It is the most familiar and playful of all 32 species of dolphins, often riding the bow wave of boats and surfing waves. Its arc-like leap is a classic image used the world over to symbolize peaceful harmony with nature. Its playfulness, appallingly for those who see it as a cuddly, intelligent and 'smiling' fellow mammal, extends to its hunting. It will often toy with a fish or even a baby seal, flipping it up in the air and batting it about with its tail, before growing bored and killing it. The size of the bottlenose dolphin, which is found everywhere except the polar regions, varies greatly depending on where it lives: from 1.9-4m in length and weighing from 150-650kg.

Warthog

This species (*Phacochoerus africanus*) gets its name from the warty protuberances located on the sides of the head and in front of the eyes, found only in the males. These powerful animals have large heads in proportion to the rest of their bodies, and both males and females have sharp tusks.

Unlike most species of wild pig, warthogs are active during the day, except in areas where they are likely to be attacked by humans. There they change to a nocturnal lifestyle in order to avoid human contact. When sleeping or rearing young, warthogs take refuge in holes - often those made by aardvarks.

If attacked by predators such as hyenas or lions, warthogs flee to the nearest available hole, backing into it so that they can face their attackers with their vicious tusks. Warthogs sometimes come together in groups called sounders, usually numbering 4-16 individuals. Although they are fairly abundant throughout their range, people hunt warthogs for their meat and to stop them eating crops. This poses a threat to warthog populations.

Ocelot

Ocelots (*Leopardus pardalis*) are medium-sized cats found across most of the American tropics. These agile hunters are most common in the dense jungles of the Amazon Basin, but are also found high on the slopes of the Andes and in the dry shrublands of northern Mexico.

An ocelot's typical day is spent sleeping in the cool of a shady thicket or on a leafy branch, but at night the cat comes out to hunt. Ocelots eat a wide range of animals, including rodents, snakes and even young deer and peccaries if the opportunity arises.

Ocelots are largely solitary animals, although males will maintain social links with numbers of females in their local areas. They communicate with quiet mews, which become loud yowls during courtship. In the heart of the tropics, ocelots breed all year round, while at the northern and southern extremes of their range, they tend to mate during the late summer and fall.
Olive Baboon

Big cats are powerful and hyenas are cunning but mature male olive baboons (*Papio anubis*) combine these attributes with viciousness, fearlessness and anger, which enables them to drive most others away from a kill. Males grow up to 74cm in length and can weigh 28kg, so they are not enormous, but it is their attitude - and their vast canine teeth - which make them so formidable.

Olive baboons, which are found in most of sub-Saharan east Africa, are very social animals, living in a matriarchal troop of about 50 individuals who work together for mutual benefit. Grooming, recreation and even apparent friendships play an important part. The troop spirit shows itself when a large adversary needs to be dealt with. The late South African naturalist Eugene Marais once witnessed two baboons attacking a leopard which was threatening their troop. They ambushed the cat as it stalked the main group and although both were killed in the fight, one of them mortally wounded the leopard by puncturing its jugular vein with its long canine teeth. They sacrificed themselves but saved the troop.

Olive baboons are opportunistic feeders eating mainly fruit and grass but also tubers, bulbs, flowers, leaves and seeds as well as insects, eggs, birds and even tree gum. They prey on hares and young gazelle and will take advantage of any kill they come across. They are active during the day and sleep in trees or on cliffs to avoid predators.

North American Porcupine

North American porcupines (*Erethizon dorsatum*) are nocturnal animals that spend most of the night looking for food on the ground. However, they occasionally climb slowly into trees to find food. They cannot see very well, but have sensitive noses for detecting danger.

During the daytime, porcupines rest in hollow trees, caves or disused burrows. They regularly move from den to den throughout the year. They do not hibernate and keep feeding throughout the winter, but they will stay in their den during periods of harsh weather.

Porcupines live solitary lives, but do not defend territories, although they may drive away other porcupines from trees laden with food. If cornered by predators, porcupines turn their backs on their attackers and thrash around with their spiky tails. The barbed quills penetrate the attacker's skin and work their way into the body.

In early winter, males seek out females and shower them with urine before mating. The males are chased away by the females after mating. They give birth to their litters in summer.

White-tailed Deer

White-tailed deer (*Odocoileus virginianus*), or Virginia deer as they are called in the United States, prefer areas with tall grasses or shrubs to hide in during the day. When the deer spot predators, they raise their white tails to expose the white patches on their rumps. This serves as a visual warning to other deer that danger is near. If pursued, the deer bound away, reaching 60kph.

White-tailed deer live in matriarchies, with each small group being controlled by a single adult female, which is the mother of the rest of the group. The adult males live alone or in small bachelor herds. In the autumn mating season, males mark plants with scent produced by glands on their faces, and urinate in depressions scraped into the ground. The males fight wth their antlers - rut - for the right to court females.

Humpback Whale

Humpbacks (*Megaptera novaeangliae*) spend their summers feeding far from shore, in the cold waters near the poles. They feed by taking in huge mouthfuls of sea water. Their baleen plates then strain out any fish or krill from the water. Pairs of humpbacks also corral schools of fish by blowing curtains of bubbles around them. The fish will not swim through the bubbles and crowd together as the whales rush up from beneath with their mouths wide open.

As winter approaches, the whales stop feeding and head to warmer, shallow waters near coasts or groups of islands. For example, populations of humpbacks spend the winter near Baja California and the Hawaiian islands. During the winter the whales do not feed; instead they concentrate on reproduction. The males produce songs which are repeated over and over for days on end. The songs probably attract receptive females that are not caring for calves that year, and also help rival males keep away from each other. Pregnant females stay feeding for longer than the other whales, and arrive in the wintering grounds just in time to give birth.

American Beaver

Beavers (*Castor canadensis*) are among the largest of all rodents. Family groups of beavers live in large nests, called lodges, in or near forest streams or small lakes. Beavers eat wood and other tough plant foods, which have to be soaked in water before being eaten.

They use their large front teeth to gnaw through the bases of small trees. Sections of these logs are transported back to the lodge via a system of canals dug into the forest. If necessary, beavers will also dam a stream with debris to make a pool deep enough to store their food. A beaver colony may maintain a dam for several generations. The lodge has underwater entrances so beavers can swim out to their food supply even when the pool is frozen.
