Appert's tetraka

**Appert's tetraka** or **Appert's greenbul** (*Xanthomixis apperti*) is a small passerine bird endemic to the south-west of Madagascar. The species was only described in 1972, and has been the subject of considerable taxonomic confusion. It was initially placed in the greenbul genus *Phyllastrephus*, and later with the Old World warblers in the genus *Bernieria*. Recent research indicates it is part of an endemic Malagasy radiation currently known as the Malagasy warblers (Cibois *et al.* 2001).

The Appert's tetraka is around 15 cm long with a pink bill and grey legs. The plumage of the sexes is similar; the back, tail and wings are green (the wings being a darker shade), the head grey and the throat white. The flanks and belly are washed orange and the undersides are white. The species is highly terrestrial, feeding in undisturbed forest in shrubs near the ground and on the ground. Family groups of up to 8 birds, sometimes in association with other species, forage on insects gleaned from under leaves and branches.

The Appert's tetraka is currently restricted to two known locations in south-west Madagascar. One is the dry deciduous forest at Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park (where the species was first discovered) and a second population in montane evergreen forest at Analavelona Classified Forest. The species is considered vulnerable due to its restricted range, particularly to habitat loss due to forest clearance. At present the Zombitse-Vohibasia forest is the subject of conservation projects that have stopped deforestation, and the Analavelona Classified Forest, while not protected, is remote and not under immediate threat.

The common name and scientific name commemorate the Reverend Otto Appert a Swiss missionary in Madagascar who was also an amateur naturalist.[2]
Aguascalientia

*Aguascalientia* was a miniature camel that lived across the southern portions of the continent of North America,‭ ‬though it was not one of the‭ ‘‬true‭’ ‬camels that we know today.‭ ‬Its small size displays well how many of today‭’‬s larger mammals from camels to horses to even elephants had very humble beginnings in terms of size.‭ *‬Aguascalientia* lived in North America at a time when the lush tropical forests were giving way to expanses of open grass land,‭ ‬a change that was forcing animals to adapt to be able to undertake more energy efficient locomotion.‭ ‬Possible predators of *Aguascalientia* may have included nimravids and amphicyonids,‭ ‬better known as‭ ‘‬false sabre-toothed cats‭’ ‬and‭ ‘‬bear dogs‭’ ‬respectively. Only the type species of *Aguascalientia* was known until‭ ‬2012‭ ‬when both *A.‭ ‬minuta* and *A.‭ ‬panamaensis*were named by Rincon et al.
African wild dog

The **African wild dog** (*Lycaon pictus*), also known as **cape hunting dog**, **African hunting dog**, **African painted dog**, **painted hunting dog** or **painted wolf**, is a canid native to Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the largest of its family in Africa, and the only extant member of the genus*Lycaon*, which is distinguished from *Canis* by its fewer toes and its dentition, which is highly specialised for a hypercarnivorous diet. It is classified as endangered by the IUCN, as it has disappeared from much of its original range. The current population has been estimated at roughly 39 subpopulations containing 6,600 adults, only 1,400 of which are fully grown.[2] The decline of these populations is ongoing, due to habitat fragmentation, human persecution, and disease outbreaks.

The African wild dog is a highly social animal, living in packs with separate dominance hierarchies for males and females. Uniquely among social carnivores, it is the females rather than the males that scatter from the natal pack once sexually mature, and the young are allowed to feed first on carcasses. The species is a specialised diurnal hunter of antelopes, which it catches by chasing them to exhaustion. Like other canids, it regurgitates food for its young, but this action is also extended to adults, to the point of being the bedrock of African wild dog social life.[3][4][5] It has few natural predators, though lions are a major source of mortality, and spotted hyenas are frequent kleptoparasites.

Although not as prominent in African folklore or culture as other African carnivores, it has been respected in several hunter-gatherersocieties, particularly those of the predynastic Egyptians and the San people.
African elephant

**African elephants** are elephants of the genus ***Loxodonta***,[2] from Greek λοξός (*loxós* 'slanting, crosswise, oblique sided') + ὀδούς (*odoús*, stem odónt-, 'tooth'). The genus consists of two extant species: the African bush elephant, *L. africana*, and the smaller African forest elephant, *L. cyclotis*. *Loxodonta* is one of two existing genera of the family Elephantidae.[1] Fossil remains of *Loxodonta* have been found only in Africa, in strata as old as the middle Pliocene. However, sequence analysis of DNA extracted from fossils of an extinct elephant speciesundermines the validity of the genus.[3]
Adrian Molina

**Adrian Molina** (born August 23, 1985) is an American screenwriter and storyboard artist. He has been at Pixar since 2007, where he started as a 2D animator on *Ratatouille*. He later moved on to be a storyboard artist, working on *Toy Story 3* and *Monsters University*. After writing for *The Good Dinosaur*, Molina started his first assignment as a screenplay writer, for *Coco*, and later went on to co-direct the film. Molina also illustrated the Little Golden Book for *Toy Story 3*.[2]

A native of Northern California, he grew up in Grass Valley, CA, and he graduated from Bear River High School in 2003, to subsequently attend & graduate from the California Institute of the Arts in 2007. He is of Mexican descent.[3]
Aegiochusmon Dark

**Aegiochusmon Dark** is a Digimon. It synthesized the abilities of various species, with a human body as the base. The synthesis of species is said to be the result of having sought the extreme called omnipotence, and adapts it to its surroundings, dramatically altering its appearance.[2] This form is composed of data taken from the Evil-tribe, so the data of the Evil-tribe sleeping within its body has infected its whole body.[3]
Ailuropoda baconi

***Ailuropoda baconi*** is an extinct panda from the Late Pleistocene, 750 thousand years ago, and was preceded by *A. wulingshanensis* and *A. microta* as an ancestor of the giant panda, *A. melanoleuca*. Very little is known about this creature, however its latest fossils have been dated to the Late Pleistocene.[2]
Aardvark

The **aardvark** (/ˈɑːrdvɑːrk/ *ARD-vark*; *Orycteropus afer*) is a medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal mammal native to Africa.[2] It is the only living species of the order Tubulidentata,[3][4] although other prehistoric species and genera of Tubulidentata are known. Unlike other insectivores, it has a long pig-like snout, which is used to sniff out food. It roams over most of the southern two-thirds of the African continent, avoiding areas that are mainly rocky. A nocturnal feeder, it subsists on ants and termites, which it will dig out of their hills using its sharp claws and powerful legs. It also digs to create burrows in which to live and rear its young. It receives a "least concern" rating from the IUCN, although its numbers seem to be decreasing.
Acanthopagrus butcheri

***Acanthopagrus butcheri***, officially known as the **black bream** but also commonly known as the **southern black bream**, **southern bream** and **blue-nosed bream**, is a species of marine and freshwater fish of the porgy family, Sparidae. It is a deep-bodied fish, occasionally confused with other similar species that occur within its range, but is generally distinguished from these species by a lack of yellow ventral and anal fins. Southern black bream are endemic to Australia, inhabiting the southern coast from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Mallacoota, Victoria, as well as Tasmania.

The species is primarily an inhabitant of estuaries and coastal lakes, rarely entering the ocean, as it cannot complete its life cycle in a fully marine environment. During the breeding season, the species is known to penetrate into the upper reaches of rivers to spawn, causing an influx of juveniles in the estuaries a few months later. Southern black bream are opportunistic predators, consuming a wide range of crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes and fish.

The southern black bream is a major target for both commercial and amateur fishermen due to its high quality flesh, with over 300 tonnes of fish taken each year by commercial fisheries. Anglers also seek out the fish for its sportingqualities, with the development of lure fishing for bream adding to this attraction. Aquaculture techniques for the species are being developed, with a slow growth rate the major hurdle to large scale food production.
Aepycamelus

***Aepycamelus*** (also known as **long-necked camel**) is an extinct genus of camelid, synonym ***Alticamelus***, which lived during the Miocene 20.6–4.9 million years ago, existing for about 15.7 million years.[1] Its name is derived from the Homeric Greek αἰπύς, "high and steep" and κάμηλος – "camel";[2][3] thus, "high camel"; *alticamelus* in Latin.

*Aepycamelus* walked on its toes only. Unlike earlier species of camelids, they possessed cushioned pads like those of modern camels.[4]
Acanthicus

***Acanthicus*** is a genus of large, South American suckermouth armored catfishes native to the Amazon and Orinoco basins, and possibly in Guyana.[2] The name *Acanthicus* is derived from the Greek, *akanthikos* meaning thorny, spiny.[3] Fish of this genus are known as lyre-tail plecos.[4][5] These species are found in large rivers,[2] primarily in areas with a rocky bottom and a moderate or strong current.[1]

African forest buffalo

The **African forest buffalo** (*Syncerus caffer nanus*), known also as the Congo buffalo, is the smallest subspecies of the African buffalo.[1] It is related to the Cape buffalo (*Syncerus caffer caffer*), West African savanna buffalo (*Syncerus caffer brachyceros*) and Central African savanna buffalo (*Syncerus caffer aequinoctialis*). However, it is the only subspecies that occurs mainly in the rainforest of central and western Africa with an annual rainfall around 1,500 mm.[2]
Agumon Expert

**Agumon Expert** is a Dinosaur Digimon. It is a genius Agumon that has a doctorate in Digital Monster studies from Digital World University. The badge on its chest is proof of its doctorate. Though it is said that its degree was created by Agumon Expert itself, it certainly is knowledgeable about Digimon types and territories. Due to its peculiar accent in which it attaches "Gya" to the end of its remarks, it is thought to possibly have come from a distant locale.[1]
Agunimon

**Agunimon** is a Wizard Digimon. It possesses power over Flame which bears the might of AncientGreymon. Because its "DigiCore" is wrapped in the Spiritual Fire which is called a holy blaze, it is able to freely manipulate flames. It is an incarnation of the "Firewall" that defends the Net, and is a guardian deity. Because of its easily fired-up personality, it has a soldier-like aspect that practices mental training with yogaexercises, and its way of speaking is somewhat archaic, like a kenpo artist. In battle, it fights by freely using Oriental martial arts, and accumulates flames at one point of its body with a trick that focuses its spirit, to raise its offensive ability. It wields the flame-clad Burning Wrist battle gloves.
(People of the Fire) Majungasaurus

Although he's a cannibal he fights for honor.

He is the raging volcano himself, bad tempered than a bull, he is neither friend or foe but he his good.

Majungle was one of the ugliest of the zords but to the females of his species he is handsome.

He doesn't care what other other animals say about him because they don't know that the other males of his species are like him.

When he first saw his reflection in the water he always use his reflection to see if he his handsome for the females.
Aguascalientes

It is divided in 11 municipalitiesand its capital city is Aguascalientes.

It is located in North-Central Mexico. It is bordered by the states of Zacatecas to the north and Jalisco to the south. Its name means "hot waters" in Spanish and originated from the abundance of hot springs in the area. The corresponding demonym for the state and its inhabitants is *hidrocálido* or *aguascalentense*.
Alaskan tundra wolf

The **Alaskan tundra wolf** (*Canis lupus tundrarum*), also known as the **barren-ground wolf**,[2] is a subspecies of gray wolf native to the barren grounds of the Arctic coastal tundra region from near Point Barrow eastward toward Hudson Bay. It was named in 1912 by Gerrit Smith Miller, who noted that it closely approaches the Great Plains wolf in skull and tooth morphology, though possessing a narrower rostrum and palate.[3] It is a large, white-colored wolf closely resembling *C. l. pambasileus*, though lighter in color.[4] This wolf is recognized as a subspecies of *Canis lupus* in the taxonomic authority *Mammal Species of the World (2005)*.[5]
Aegiochusmon

**Aegiochusmon** is a God Man Digimon. It synthesized the abilities of various species, with a human body as the base. The synthesis of species is said to be the result of having sought the extreme called omnipotence, and adapts it to its surroundings, dramatically altering its appearance. This form is composed of data taken from the Dragon-tribe, so the data of the Dragon-tribe sleeping within its body manifests on the surface of its body, centered upon the crystal in its chest, and establishes itself as armor. This armor is a Powered Suit that affects not only Aegiochusmon's defensive power but also its physical strength, drastically increasing its offensive power.[3]
Air Raid (G1)

Some might call **Air Raid** reckless, the way he dives out of nowhere, charging enemy units head on. Air Raid would laugh at that. A rash and fearless young warrior who loves surprises (especially those that leave his foes too stunned to fight back), he has only one real goal in life: to have fun. Needless to say his attitude puts him in a lot of danger, but you can be sure he's enjoying himself the whole time.

Air Raid combines with his fellow Aerialbots to form Superion or with other Transformers to form Galvatronus.
Aegyptopithecus

***Aegyptopithecus***, which means "Egyptian Monkey", from Greek Αίγυπτος (Egypt) and πίθηκος (ape or monkey), is an early fossil catarrhine that predates the divergence between hominoids (apes and humans) and cercopithecids (Old World monkeys). It is known from a single species, ***Aegyptopithecus zeuxis***, which lived around 30 million years ago in the early part of the Oligocene epoch.[1] It likely resembled modern-day New World monkeys, and was about the same size as a modern howler monkey, which is about 56 to 92 cm (22 to 36 in) long. *Aegyptopithecus* fossils have been found primarily in modern-day Egypt. *Aegyptopithecus* is believed to be a stem-catarrhine, a crucial link between Eocene and Miocenefossils.[2]

*Aegyptopithecus zeuxis* has become one of the best known extinct primates based on craniodental and postcranialremains.[2]
Adelophryne baturitensis

Agami heron

The **agami heron** (*Agamia agami*) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeding bird from Central America south to Peru and Brazil. It is sometimes known as the **chestnut-bellied heron**, and is the only member of the genus *Agamia* (Reichenbach, 1853). In Brazil it is sometimes called *Soco beija-flor*the « hummingbird heron » thanks to its unique coloration pattern.[2]

The agami heron is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, due to predictions of future habitat destruction within its range.[3]
Acanthicus adonis

***Acanthicus adonis***, the **adonis pleco** or **polka dot lyre-tail pleco**, is a large species of armored catfish.[1][2] It was originally described from the lower Tocantins River in Brazil, but individuals resembling the species have also been recorded from Amazonian Peru.[3][4] The species is occasionally seen in the aquarium trade, but its massive adult size and territoriallyaggressive behavior means that a very large tank is required.[4][1] These fish are opportunistic omnivores.[1]

It was among the largest dromaeosaurs; the holotype and only known individual of *Achillobator* is estimated at 5 to 6 m (16.4 to 19.7 ft) long.[1][2] *Achillobator* was a moderately-built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore. It would have been an active predator, hunting with the enlarged, sickle-shaped claw on the second toe.
Accelerak

Accelerak is a skilled flier known for swiftness and maneuverability. His characteristic wide-legged stance supports the weight of the reinforced armor on his upper torso. In battle, Accelerak's additional weaponry on his chest and shoulders enhances his already powerful attack. His enemies find him elusive in battle, unable to keep up with his incredible speed.
Air Rift Dragon

*There's something in the air... oh, it's an air rift dragon! That would make sense, wouldn't it? Unless the inside of the Rift is some sort of bizzaro would in which water dragons fly and air dragons float. But that's preposterous... isn't it? Is it? Question everything! Just don't expect the air rift dragon to answer.*
Agapanthia kindermanni

***Agapanthia kindermanni*** is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Pic in 1905.[4] It is found in Turkey,[5] including Hatay Province,[1] İçel Province,[2] Adana Province[6] and Osmaniye Province.[7]

It is 11–18 mm (0.43–0.71 in) long, lives for a year, and adults become mature around May–June.[8]
Aglae

***Aglae*** is a genus of euglossine bees, with the only described species ***Aglae caerulea***. Like all orchid bees, it is restricted to the Neotropics.

They are metallic blue.

This species, like the genus *Exaerete*, is a nest parasite on free-living Euglossini. *A. caerulea* lays its eggs in the nests of *Eulaema nigrita*, and possibly other *Eulaema* species.

Among other substances, males of this species are attracted by methyl cinnamate baits.
Ako Shirabe/Cure Muse

Ako is a 9-year-old student in the third year of Public Kanon Elementary, who is in the same class as Kanade's little brother, Souta. She is very mature for her age, but also very cold and not above lecturing her elders, particularly Hibiki and Kanade. Unbeknownst to the Pretty Cures, she had masked herself as a mysterious fighter named Cure Muse who aids them using colorful piano keys to form barriers and restraints. She often assists the Pretty Cures if they are trapped, but leaves them to finish off the Negatones. She hides her status under the mask and does not speak, as her Fairy Tone partner, Dodory, does all the talking. She often declares that she will not partner herself with the Cures until the time is right.
During Episode 35, she reveals herself to be Major Land's princess, the daughter of Aphrodite and Mephisto. After her father goes missing, she runs away to Kanon Town and disguises herself, living with her grandfather, Otokichi. When Mephisto steals the Legendary Score, Ako's potential as a Pretty Cure awakens. As Cure Muse, her short orange hair grows to knee-length and gains two yellow ribbons on each end. In her masked form, her theme color is black, and in her true form, her theme color is yellow, and her Fairy Tone is Dodory. She doesn't have a main weapon, but she uses her secondary Fairy Tone, Tiry for her purification attacks. She is the youngest Pretty Cure.
She introduces herself as "Playing the Goddess' tune, Cure Muse!" (爪弾くは女神の調べ！キュアミューズ！ *Tsumabiku wa megami no shirabe, Kyua Myūzu!*) Her theme colors are yellow and purple.
Mephits

**Sir Gerold's Guide - Chapter III Section LI**

*"These horrible little demons come in a wide variety; and even a hero as traveled as I have not encountered the full range of them. They are vile little monsters with elemental magic, and should be purged from our plane with ferocity."*

**Mephits** were encountered in Episode 27 - Protection From Chaos.
Abigail the Breeze Fairy

*Abigail makes it easy to fly a kite when she directs the wind to blow in great gusts. Her emerald green wand has a shining golden tip that showers little bursts of swirling golden leaves.*

*Abigail is into wind power, and is very eco-conscious. She's forever launching new 'green' projects for Fairyland. She also has the world's largest collection of hats, which she would love to return to their owners if she could find them.*
Alabama beach mouse

The **Alabama beach mouse** *(Peromyscus polionotus ammobates)* is a federally endangered species which lives along the Alabama coast.

The range of the Alabama beach mouse historically included much of the Fort Morgan Peninsula on the Alabama Gulf coast and extends from Ono Island to Fort Morgan.

Coastal residential and commercial development and roadway construction have fragmented and destroyed habitat used by this species. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and dune use by pedestrians have also damaged or destroyed sand dunes and related habitats. Stalking by domestic and wild cats, as well as other animals, plus competition from other rodents have also contributed to Alabama beach mouse declines.
Ailuropoda microta

***Ailuropoda microta*** is the earliest known ancestor of the giant panda. It measured 1 m (3 ft) in length; the modern giant panda grows to a size in excess of 1.5 m (5 ft). Wear patterns on its teeth suggest it lived on a diet of bamboo, the primary food of the giant panda. The first discovered skull of the animal in a south China limestone cave is estimated to be 2 million years old.[3] The skull found is about half the size of a modern-day giant panda, but is anatomically very similar. This research suggests that the giant panda has evolved for more than three million years as a completely separate lineage from that of other bears.
Afghan Hound

The **Afghan Hound** is a hound that is distinguished by its thick, fine, silky coat and its tail with a ring curl at the end. The breed is selectively bred for its unique features in the cold mountains of Afghanistan. Its local name is **Tāžī Spay** (Pashto: تاژي سپی‎) or **Sag-e Tāzī** (Dari Persian: سگ تازی). Other names for this breed are *Kuchi Hound*, *Tāzī*, *Balkh Hound*, *Baluchi Hound*, *Barakzai Hound*, *Shalgar Hound*, *Kabul Hound*, *Galanday Hound* or sometimes incorrectly *African Hound*.
Araquanid

Araquanid is a fairly large spider-like Pokémon with a bubble of water surrounding its head. Its six legs are yellow-green for two-thirds of their length, and the final portions are dark blue. Each leg has an opaque bubble enveloping each joint. Its abdomen is dark blue with brown streaks on the top and bottom, with two additional horizontal streaks on the top. These streaks connect to the "collar" that flares out with the shape of the bubble that encloses its head, which is also dark blue. Its eyes are a lighter tone of blue, with whitish-blue waves along the center of each eye. There are forked, brown "eyebrows" directly above the eyes, giving the Pokémon an angry or aggressive expression. On the top of its head, there are three round, short growths that are the same color as its eyes. Both the growths and its eyes are capable of glowing and flashing. Below its head, there is a mouth accompanied by hanging mandibles.

With its water bubble, Araquanid can deliver headbutts, which can suck in small Pokémon and cause them to drown. However, in spite of its unnerving appearance, it is a caring Pokémon. It can use its bubble to encircle and protect weak and vulnerable Pokémon, or store subdued prey and other valuables.
Amboina box turtle

The **Amboina box turtle** (*Cuora amboinensis*), or **southeast Asian box turtle** is a species of Asian box turtle.

Acalyptophis

***Acalyptophis*** is a genus of sea snake, containing a single species, ***Acalyptophis peronii***, commonly known as the **spiny-headed seasnake**, **Peron's sea snake**, or the **horned sea snake**,[1] endemic to the western tropical Pacific Ocean.[4] It is the only sea snake with spines on the head. Like other members of the family, Hydrophiidae or Elapidae, it is venomous.[3]
Agalychnis callidryas

***Agalychnis callidryas***, known as the **red-eyed tree frog**, is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, to Colombia.[1] It is sometimes kept in captivity. The specific name of the red-eyed tree frog, *A. callidryas*, comes from Greek words *kalos* (beautiful) and *dryas* (a tree or wood nymph).[4]
Aqua Ursa

*"The Aqua Ursa tends to make waves wherever it goes. The whitecaps that form the fur of this drizzly grizzly are renowned throughout the Forest waterways for their unique beauty. when the Aqua Ursa splashes onto the scene, the other animals all stop to stare at its flowing fur, lost in the current of the Ursa's swirling curls."*
American crow

The **American crow** (*Corvus brachyrhynchos*) is a large passerine bird species of the family Corvidae. It is a common bird found throughout much of North America. American crows are the new world counterpart to the carrion crow and the hooded crow. Although the American crow and the hooded crow are very similar in size, structure and behavior, their calls are different. The American crow nevertheless occupies the same role the hooded crow does in Eurasia.

From beak to tail, an American crow measures 40–50 cm (16–20 in), almost half of which is tail. Mass varies from about 300 to 600 g (11 to 21 oz). Males tend to be larger than females. The most usual call is *CaaW!-CaaW!-CaaW!*.

The American crow is all black, with iridescent feathers. It looks much like other all-black corvids. They can be distinguished from the common raven (*C. corax*) because American crows are smaller and from the fish crow (*C. ossifragus*) because American crows do not hunch and fluff their throat feathers when they call.

American crows are common, widespread, and susceptible to the West Nile virus, making them useful as a bioindicator to track the virus's spread. Direct transmission of the virus from American crows to humans is unheard of and unlikely.
Aquarius (fantasy forest story)

"Hailing from the endless cosmos above, Aquarius cares for individuals born between January 20th and February 18th. Independant in nature, the Aquarius still spends much of its energy making those very close to their heart happy. They are frank to a fault, but can always be trusted to give you a straight, honest answer."
Afghan leopard gecko

The **Afghan leopard gecko** (*Eublepharis macularius afghanicus*) is one of the five subspecies of the common leopard gecko, a small to midsized lizard belonging to the family Gekkonidae. This subspecies was first discovered by entomologist Carl Julius Bernhard Börner in 1976. It is much smaller than other leopard gecko subspecies.
Amazon River frog

The **Amazon River frog** (*Lithobates palmipes*) is a species of frog in the Ranidae family that occurs in the northern and Amazonian South America east of the Andes (Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Trinidad), with scattered records from northeastern Brazil.[2] In Spanish, it is known as *rana verde verdadera*. Its natural habitats are tropical rainforests near permanent waterbodies. It is not considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[1] It is highly appreciated as food by the Ye’kwana of southeastern Venezuela.[3]
Anorith

Anorith is a greenish-gray, arthropod Pokémon, resembling an anomalocaris. A stalk extends from either side of its head, with large, spherical eyes at the tips. The middle of its head is black with two red, teardrop-shaped markings, and an x-shaped mouth is visible on the underside of its torso. Beneath its head are two large, segmented claws that serve as weapons and are used to capture prey. On each side of its body are four white appendages with red tips. These wing-like projections are used to propel Anorith through the water.

Now extinct in the wild, it lived in the seas of ancient times. It is still extant under the ownership of Trainersthrough revival from Claw Fossils. Despite this, Anorith can no longer thrive in today's oceans because the water composition has changed since ancient times.
"Stan": BHI 3033

STAN is the largest, most complete, *Tyrannosaurus rex*, of the male (or gracile) morphotype, ever found. Discovered in what had once been the sandy bank of an ancient stream, the bones of the skeleton and skull were separated and spread over a wide area. Spring floods eventually covered the bones with mud where they remained buried for more than 65 million years. This disarticulation resulted in near perfect preservation of the skull.
Aerialbot (WFC)

The **Aerialbots** are the few Seekers loyal to the Autobots rather than the Decepticons. Although they're an eccentric group, they provide invaluable air support for their ground-bound comrades. The Aerialbots under Silverbolt's command are capable of combining into Superion.

* Silverbolt (leader)
* Jetfire
* Air Raid
* Fireflight
* Slingshot
* Skydive
American hog-nosed skunk

The **American hog-nosed skunk** (***Conepatus leuconotus***) is a species of hog-nosed skunk from Central and North America, and is one of the largest skunks in the world, growing to lengths of up to 2.7 feet (82 cm).[2] Recent work has concluded the western hog-nosed skunk (formerly *Conepatus mesoleucus*) is the same species, and *Conepatus leuconotus* is the correct name of the merged populations.[3]

In Texas, it is commonly known as the **rooter skunk** for its habit of rooting and overturning rocks and debris in search of food.
Acanthopagrus australis

***Acanthopagrus australis***, officially known as the **yellowfin bream** and commonly known as the **surf bream**, is a species of marine and freshwater fish of the porgy family, Sparidae. It is also known as **silver bream**, **eastern black bream**, **sea bream**, and **bream**. It is a deep-bodied fish, occasionally confused with *Acanthopagrus butcheri* (black bream), but is generally distinguished by its yellowish ventral and anal fins.[3] It is a popular target for recreational fisherman due to its capacity to fight well above its weight coupled with its table quality.[4]
Alpine Moose (rodeo stampede)

The Alpine Moose is completely brown, with the exceptions being its eyes and its hooves, which are black. It has a relatively small head compared to its body, and has large, wide antlers each with five prongs arranged similarly to a curved hand. Its body is thick with a single hump, and its legs are short relative to its body.
Aegiochusmon Holy

**Aegiochusmon Holy** is a Digimon. It synthesized the abilities of various species, with a human body as the base. The synthesis of species is said to be the result of having sought the extreme called omnipotence, and adapts it to its surroundings, dramatically altering its appearance.[3] This form is composed of data taken from the Angel-tribe, so the data of the Angel-tribe sleeping within its body covers its whole body, and its heart is as serene as a still lake.[4]
Albertosaurus

***Albertosaurus*** (/ælˌbɜːrtəˈsɔːrəs/; meaning "Alberta lizard") is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaurs that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 70 million years ago. The type species, *A. sarcophagus*, was apparently restricted in range to the modern-day Canadian province of Alberta, after which the genus is named. Scientists disagree on the content of the genus, with some recognizing *Gorgosaurus libratus* as a second species.

As a tyrannosaurid, *Albertosaurus* was a bipedal predator with tiny, two-fingered hands and a massive head that had dozens of large, sharp teeth. It may have been at the top of the food chain in its local ecosystem. While *Albertosaurus* was large for a theropod, it was much smaller than its larger and more famous relative *Tyrannosaurus rex*, growing nine to ten meters long and weighing less than possibly 2 metric tons.

Since the first discovery in 1884, fossils of more than 30 individuals have been recovered, providing scientists with a more detailed knowledge of *Albertosaurus* anatomy than is available for most other tyrannosaurids. The discovery of 26 individuals at one site provides evidence of pack behaviour and allows studies of ontogeny and population biology, which are impossible with lesser-known dinosaurs.
AncientGarurumon

**AncientGarurumon** is an Ancient Animal Digimon whose name and design are derived from "Ancient Garurumon". Possessing the attribute of "Light", it is one of the Ten Legendary Warriors that saved the ancient Digital World. A Mega who existed only in the distant past, it is called the "Supreme Shining Beast". Its abilities were later passed on to the "Beast Digimon". It is said that in the previous crusade, it survived to the end alongside AncientGreymon, and sealed away Lucemon.
Amphioctopus marginatus

***Amphioctopus marginatus***, also known as the **coconut octopus** and **veined octopus**, is a medium-sized cephalopod belonging to the genus *Amphioctopus*. It is found in tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean. It commonly preys upon shrimp, crabs, and clams, and displays unusual behavior including bipedal walking and tool use (gathering coconut shells and seashells and using these for shelter).
Alebrije

**Alebrijes** (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈβɾixes]) are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical (fantasy/mythical) creatures. The first alebrijes, along with use of the term, originated with Pedro Linares. In the 1930s, Linares fell very ill and while he was in bed, unconscious, Linares dreamt of a strange place resembling a forest. There, he saw trees, animals, rocks, clouds that suddenly turned into something strange, some kind of animals, but, unknown animals. He saw a donkey with butterfly wings, a rooster with bull horns, a lion with an eagle head, and all of them were shouting one word, "Alebrijes". Upon recovery, he began recreating the creatures he saw in cardboard and papier-mâché and called them Alebrijes.

His work caught the attention of a gallery owner in Cuernavaca, in the south of Mexico and later, of artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. In the 1980s, British filmmaker Judith Bronowski arranged an itinerant Mexican art craft demonstration workshop in the U.S.A. featuring Pedro Linares, Manuel Jiménez and a textile artisan Maria Sabina from Oaxaca. Although the Oaxaca valley area already had a history of carving animals and other types of figures from wood, it was at this time, when Bronowski's workshop took place, that artisans from Oaxaca learned of the alebrijes paper mache sculptures. Linares demonstrated his designs on family visits and which were adapted to the carving of a local wood called copal; this type of wood is said to be magical, made from unitado magic.

The paper mache-to-wood carving adaptation was pioneered by Arrazola native Manuel Jiménez. This version of the craft has since spread to a number of other towns, most notably San Martín Tilcajete and La Unión Tejalapan, and has become a major source of income for the area, especially for Tilcajete. The success of the craft, however, has led to the depletion of the native copal trees. Attempts to remedy this with reforestation efforts and management of wild copal trees has only had limited success. The three towns most closely associated with alebrije production in Oaxaca have produced a number of notable artisans such as Manuel Jiménez, Jacobo Angeles, Martin Sandiego, Julia Fuentes and Miguel Sandiego.

Pedro Linares was originally from México City (DF), born there June 29, 1906, and he never moved out of México City. He died January 25, 1992.
Aqua Dragon

*With its fluid motions and mastery of movement through rivers and seas, the Aqua Dragon is the Elemental dragon in control of water. The Aqua Dragon is a very reasonable creature, always willing to go with the flow, but if crossed it is capable of summoning great torrents of power. It is a pillar of the four primary Elemental Dragons.*
Alpha 06

**Alpha 06**is a dinosaur boss from *Jurassic World: The Game*. It is a grey and orange *Tyrannosaurus rex* with bone-like spikes running down its back, and orange, flame like veins flowing through its body. It is capable of pulsing electricity when it attacks, steps, roars, or gets up. It is unknown if Alpha 06 is a hybrid or a genetically enhanced *T. rex*. It does, however, look very similar to Omega 09.
Aimless (G1)

**Aimless** should have been called "Useless". This Nebulan's success rate when he tries to hit a target is unknown, because that would require him to, you know, actually *try*. Together with his Targetmaster partner Misfire, he's a danger to himself and others. Mostly others.

Aimless's nature varies. In some universes he's an organic Nebulan; in others he's a robotic Cybertronian.
American lion

The **American lion** (*Panthera leo atrox*) – also known as the **North American cave lion** – is an extinct subspecies of lion that lived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch (340,000 to 11,000 years ago). Genetic analysis has revealed that it was the sister lineage to the Eurasian cave lion. It was part of the Pleistocene megafauna, a wide variety of large mammals that lived at the time. The majority of American lion fossils have come from the La Brea Tar Pits.

The American lion was about 25% larger than the modern African lion, making it one of the largest known felids.
Ankylawsaurus

The Ankylawsaurus wears a small barrister's wig on its small green head, as well as square gold-coloured glasses which sit forward on its nose. On its body it wears a navy blue garment with a thick yellow chevron on the back and a stiff white collar. On its front sleeves there are several thin yellow lines running horizontally. Its garment still allows spikes to protrude through. Its iconic tail is styled as a gavel this time, with brown ends and a yellow middle.
Alexornis

***Alexornis*** is a genus of enantiornithine birds from the Bocana Roja Formation of Baja California, Mexico.[1] This geological formation has been dated to the late Cretaceous period, and more specifically to the Campanian age, about 73 mya. The type and only known species is ***Alexornis antecedens***. Its name means "Alex's ancestral bird"; *Alexornis* from the given name of ornithologist Alexander Wetmore + Ancient Greek *ornis*, "bird", and *antecedens*, Latin for "going before" or "ancestral".[2]

*A. antecedens* is known only from a single fragmentary skeleton including shoulder, wing, and leg bones, but lacking a skull. It was about the size of a sparrow.[3] The specimen was discovered in 1971 and described and named in 1976 by Pierce Brodkorb. Brodkorb considered the species to be similar to some modern birds, and at the time, recognized it as one of the only known Cretaceous "land birds" after *Gobipteryx minuta* (most other Cretaceous birds at the time were thought to be aquatic or semi-aquatic).[2]
Amazonian black-breasted woodpecker

The **Amazonian black-breasted woodpecker** (*Celeus occidentalis*) is a bird in the family Picidae. Formerly regarded as conspecific with the **ringed woodpecker** (*Celeus torquatus*), it is found in central and western Brazil, central and northern Bolivia, eastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, southeastern Colombia, southern Venezuela and south-western Guyana.[1]
Alpaca

The **alpaca** (*Vicugna pacos*) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. Alpacas are similar to llamas, and are often confused with them. The two animals are closely related, and can successfully cross-breed. They are also closely related to the vicuña, which is believed to be the alpaca's wild ancestor, and to the guanaco.

There are two breeds of alpaca: the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca.

Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of southern Peru, western Bolivia, Ecuador, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,500 ft) to 5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea level, throughout the year.[1] Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were not bred to be beasts of burden, but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, similar to wool. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fiber comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States.

Alpacas have several different components to how they behave. They depend on their body communication to get their point across when they are threatened or happy. They spit when they are in distress, fearful, or to show dominance.[2] Male alpacas tend to behave more aggressively than females, and they try to establish dominance of their herd group.

In the textile industry, "alpaca" primarily refers to the hair of Peruvian alpacas, but more broadly it refers to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca hair, but now often made from similar fibers, such as mohair, Icelandic sheep wool, or even high-quality wool. In trade, distinctions are made between alpacas and the several styles of mohair and luster.[3]

An adult alpaca generally is between 81–99 centimetres (32–39 in) in height at the shoulders (withers). They usually weigh 48–84 kilograms (106–185 lb).
Abiorugu

The Abiorugu is a brute wyvern whose skull protrudes from the top of its head, forming bony plates. Its tail is thick, and ends in a knife-shaped protrusion, which is used both offensively and defensively. It uses the plates on its back to regulate its temperature, making Abiorugu able to thrive in a diverse range of climate zones and It attacks with a combination of bites and tail-swings. It can slam its tail to the ground, dealing massive damage, and can also launch spikes from its tail. It utilizes a flaming breath attack as well that inflicts the Defense Down ailment. When enraged, tips of its back plates turn red.
Amphicyon

***Amphicyon*** ("ambiguous dog") is an extinct genus of large carnivorous bone-crushing mammals, popularly known as bear dogs, of the family Amphicyonidae, subfamily Amphicyoninae, from the Aquitanian Epoch until the early Pleistocene. They ranged over North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa from 16.9—2.6 Ma ago, existing approximately 14.3 million years.[2][3]
Ambush

There were many mysterious things in the Mystical Bamboo Forest, but none more so than Ambush. The forest was considered to be one of Skylands’ greatest natural wonders, and no outsider, good or bad, was ever permitted to trespass. But that didn’t stop Kaos’ mother! After deciding that the ancient trees would make an exquisite display in her Royal Courtyard, she commanded her army of chainsaw -wielding trolls to chop down the entire forest. This angered Ambush, the mystical tree-knight, who saw the atrocity and swore revenge! Wielding his mythic sword, he fought off the trolls and forced Kaos’ mother into hiding. When Master Eon heard the story, he knew that the mysterious sword master would make the ideal Sensei, and promised to “go green” himself if Ambush would join the Skylander team. Ambush now trains other Knights - and those who are not environmentally conscious cower in fear!
Ankole African mole-rat

The **Ankole mole-rat** or **Ankole African mole-rat** (*Tachyoryctes ankoliae*) is a species of rodents in the family Spalacidae found in Angola and Uganda. Its natural habitats are moist savanna and arable land. Some taxonomic authorities consider it to be conspecific with the East African mole-rat.
