Pheasant

* Male
* Female

The **pheasant** (Phasianus colchicus) is an animal in Odd Squad Animal Movie. It is a least-concern and omnivorous species of game bird native to grasslands in Asia and introduced to grasslands in North America, Africa, Europe, and Australia.

## Biology

### Classification

The pheasant is a species of game bird belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kindgom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Aves, order Galliformes, family Phasianidae, genus Phasianus, and species P. colchicus. Pheasants are known for their colorful plumage, distinctive markings, and terrestrial habits.

### Scientific name

The scientific name Phasianus colchicus combines Greek and Latin roots. "Phasianus" is derived from the Greek word "phasianos," referring to a pheasant. "Colchicus" is Latin for Colchis, an ancient region in Asia Minor. The scientific name reflects both its classification and its native origins in the grasslands of Asia.

### Range

Pheasants are native to the grasslands of Asia, with their original range extending from the Caucasus region to China. However, due to introductions for game purposes, they have been successfully established in North America, Africa, Europe, and Australia. This widespread distribution makes them a globally recognized species.

### Habitat

Grasslands, agricultural fields, and open woodlands are common habitats for pheasants. They are adaptable birds that thrive in a variety of landscapes, from rural farmlands to suburban areas. Pheasants are often associated with areas that offer a mix of open spaces for foraging and cover for nesting and protection.

### Diet

Pheasants are omnivorous, with a diet that includes a variety of seeds, grains, insects, and small invertebrates. Their feeding habits are influenced by the seasons, with a focus on plant matter during the warmer months and a shift towards insects and other protein-rich food sources during the breeding season. Pheasants are known for scratching the ground with their feet to uncover food.

### Status

The pheasant is currently classified as a species of Least Concern (LC) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This designation suggests that the population is stable, and there are no immediate threats to them. The successful introduction of pheasants to new regions, combined with their adaptability to diverse habitats, contributes to their least-concern status.

An oyster and pearl

The **oyster and pearl** (Cerastoderma edule) are animals in Odd Squad Animal Movie. They are not evaluated and piscivorous species of invertebrates native to coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean.

## Biology

### Classification

The oyster and pearl are invertebrates belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Mollusca, class Bivalvia, order Cardiida, family Cardiidae, genus Cerastoderma, and species C. edule. They are characterized by their hinged shells and include various clams, oysters, and cockles. The oyster and pearl are representative species within this diverse and ecologically important group.

### Scientific name

The genus name Cerastoderma is derived from the Greek words "keras" meaning 'horn' and "derma" meaning 'skin.' The species name edule is Latin, signifying that the oyster is edible. This nomenclature reflects the historical significance of the oyster as a food source in various regions.

### Range

The natural habitat of the oyster and pearl span a diverse range, including coastal areas, estuaries, and intertidal zones. They are commonly found in coastal regions across Europe, from the North Atlantic to the Mediterranean.

### Habitat

Oysters and pearls are well-adapted to a variety of intertidal habitats, including sandy and muddy substrates. They often bury themselves in the sediment with only the edges of their shells exposed. This habitat provides protection from predators and allows them to filter-feed on suspended particles in the water.

### Diet

As piscivores, oysters primarily consume plankton, algae, and other microscopic particles present in the water column. Their feeding strategy involves pumping water through their gills, where tiny hair-like structures called cilia help trap and transport food particles to their mouths.

### Status

The oyster and pearl are currently categorized as Not Evaluated (NE) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This designation indicates that there is insufficient data available to assess their conservation status accurately. While oysters are commercially harvested for consumption, sustainable management practices help mitigate potential impacts on their populations.

They are often observed at elevations ranging from sea level to alpine zones, showcasing their ability to thrive in diverse terrains.

### Diet

As herbivores, ptarmigans primarily feed on a vegetarian diet consisting of leaves, buds, berries, and seeds. During the winter months, when vegetation is scarce, they may also consume twigs and moss. Their ability to switch between different food sources allows them to adapt to the seasonal variations in the Arctic environment.

### Status

The ptarmigan is currently classified as a species of Least Concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This designation suggests that the overall population of ptarmigans is stable, and there are currently no imminent threats to their survival. However, like many species, ptarmigans may face challenges in the future due to climate change and habitat degradation. Monitoring their populations and preserving their Arctic habitats are essential for ensuring the continued well-being of them.

## Trivia

* Oussie turns into a lizard because the Komodo dragon, the species the lizard is based on, lives in Indonesia, which a country in Asia that is near Australia.
	+ However, even though it doesn't live in Australia, he becomes a lizard probably because it was from an Australian zoo instead of the wild in Indonesia.
* Oussie's actor is unknown because Raeed Asheque has to audition a lot of actors for him.
* Raeed's design of a lizard matches Oussie's physical description perfectly, so it can be assumed that he will look like this in the movie.

Crimson Carl, Ruby Robbie, Vermilion Vince, Rose Rose, and Turquoise Tim become rosellas because Omega stole the Animal-nator Gadget.

## Trivia

* Due to Carl, Robbie, Vince, Rose, and Tim becoming rosellas, the crimson rosella, the species it is based on, only comes in crimson. Since the crimson rosella already matches Carl, the only animals close to a ruby, vermilion, rose, and turquoise rosella is the violet-necked lory, red lory, galah, and turquoise parrot respectively. None of these animals are rosella species.
