Hornet

**Hornets** (insects in the genus ***Vespa***) are the largest of the eusocial wasps, and are similar in appearance to their close relatives yellowjackets. Some species can reach up to 5.5 cm (2.2 in) in length. They are distinguished from other vespine wasps by the relatively large top margin of the head. Worldwide, 22 species of *Vespa* are recognized. Most species only occur in the tropics of Asia, though the European hornet (*V. crabro*), is widely distributed throughout Europe, Russia, North America, and north-eastern Asia. Wasps native to North America in the genus *Dolichovespula* are commonly referred to as hornets (e.g., baldfaced hornets), but are actually yellowjackets.

Like other social wasps, hornets build communal nests by chewing wood to make a papery pulp. Each nest has one queen, which lays eggs and is attended by workers that, while genetically female, cannot lay fertile eggs. Most species make exposed nests in trees and shrubs, but some (such as *Vespa orientalis*) build their nests underground or in other cavities. In the tropics, these nests may last year-round, but in temperate areas, the nest dies over the winter, with lone queens hibernating in leaf litter or other insulative material until the spring. Male hornets are docile and do not have stingers.

Hornets are often considered pests, as they aggressively guard their nesting sites when threatened and their stings can be more dangerous than those of bees.

## Baladora

Giant Asian Hornets are the species of hornets that lives in Baladora's lush jungles and are more dangerous than the bees of Baladora. They use their stingers to kill their prey including bees as well as defending itself any animals that could threaten it.
Egret

**Egrets** are herons, generally long-legged wading birds, that have white or buff plumage, developing fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from herons and have the same build.

## Baladora

The species of egret that thrives in Baladora are the cattle egrets of Africa. They often feasts on animals such as insects, worms, and sometimes fish.
Eagle

* Fish Eagle
* Crowned Eagle

Eagle is the common name for many large birds of prey of the family Accipitridae. Eagles belong to several groups of genera, some of which are closely related. Most of the 60 species of eagle are from Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just 14 species can be found—2 in North America, 9 in Central and South America, and 3 in Australia.

Eagles are not a natural group but denote essentially any bird of prey large enough to hunt sizeable (about 50 cm long or more overall) vertebrate prey.

## Baladora

The species of Eagle that lives in the tropical region of Baladora is the African Fish Eagle and the Crowned Eagle. They catch to fish such as Piranhas that resides in the jungle rivers and would hunt other animals such as monkeys that often roam the trees of Baladora.
Arthropleura

***Arthropleura*** was a genus of giant herbivorous arthropod. It grew to around 6 feet in length, due in part to the high oxygen levels of the Carboniferous period, which allowed this creature, as well as many other contemporary arthropods, to grow to such large sizes. Many fossilized footprints from *Arthropleura* can been found on the coast of Scotland. By current estimates, it is the largest known land invertebrate discovered to date, and as such, it would have had few predators.

## Baladora

Arthropleura still thrives the earth by living in Jumanji, a hidden Baladorian valley where prehistoric animals still lives. They mostly live in the lush jungles eating plants such as leaves. Arthropleura would use their armor to protect them from predators like large amphibians that also roam Jumanji.
Mora

Princess Mora is the ruler of the city of Phutra in Baladora's prehistoric land of Jumanji, which of whom worship her with respect. She desires to enslave various tribes of primtive humans so Mora would have her men force them either build massive temples or to work in the mines digging for diamonds and crystals that makes her wealthy. Mora and her men also domesticate animals such as mammoths so she would also use them to build temples with the stone age humans of Jumanji.
Gara

Gara is a fierce cavewoman who lives in the hidden valley of Jumanji as a member of Tanar's tribe. She is Tanar's second-in-command and leads hunting parties to find food. Gara and a cavemen hunting party were the first cavemen that Turok, Elizabeth and her father met while exploring Jumanji's prehistoric landscapes and ambushed them before taking them to their village. She later help them and the tribe free many of their kind from the wicked Princess Mora who uses stone age people as slaves.
Hippopotamus

The **hippopotamus** also called the **hippo**, **common hippopotamus** or **river hippopotamus**, is a large, mostly herbivorous, semiaquatic mammal and ungulate native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus (*Choeropsis liberiensis* or *Hexaprotodon liberiensis*). The name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (ἱπποπόταμος).

After the Elephant and Rhinoceros, the hippopotamus is the third-largest type of land mammal and the heaviest extant artiodactyl (in the traditional, non-cladistic sense of the term, not including cetaceans). Despite their physical resemblance to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates, the closest living relatives of the Hippopotamidae are cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.), from which they diverged about 55 million years ago. Hippos are recognisable by their barrel-shaped torsos, wide-opening mouths revealing large canine tusks, nearly hairless bodies, columnar legs and large size; adults average 1,500 kg (3,310 lb) for males and 1,300 kg (2,870 lb) for females. Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it is capable of running 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances.

## Baladora

In Baladora hippos live in the rivers in pods for protection. They would sometimes compete against Crocodiles so they can protect their young. Hippos are one the most dangerous herbivores in Baladora due to their aggressive behavior and are one of the largest animals living there along with elephants and rhinos.
Chimpanzee

Chimpanzee also known as the common chimpanzee, or simply chimp, are a species of great ape native to the forest and savannah of tropical Africa. It has four confirmed subspecies and a fifth proposed subspecies. The chimpanzee and the closely related bonobo (sometimes called the "pygmy chimpanzee") are classified in the genus Pan. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing shows that Pan is a sister taxon to the human lineage and is humans' closest living relative.

The chimpanzee is covered in coarse black hair, but has a bare face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. It is larger and more robust than the bonobo, weighing 40–70 kg (88–154 lb) for males and 27–50 kg (60–110 lb) for females and standing 120 to 150 cm (3 ft 11 in to 4 ft 11 in). Its gestation period is eight months. The infant is weaned at about three years old, but usually maintains a close relationship with its mother for several years more. The chimpanzee lives in groups that range in size from 15 to 150 members, although individuals travel and forage in much smaller groups during the day. The species lives in a strict male-dominated hierarchy, where disputes are generally settled without the need for violence. Nearly all chimpanzee populations have been recorded using tools, modifying sticks, rocks, grass and leaves and using them for hunting and acquiring honey, termites, ants, nuts and water. The species has also been found creating sharpened sticks to spear small mammals.

## Baladora

Chimpanzees roam Baladora's jungles in family groups. They are sometimes hunted by predators such as Lions, Tigers, Hyenas, Jaguars, Panthers, and Crocodiles. Nkima is a chimpanzee who is a friend of Turok and would accompany him on his journeys across Baladora.
Gazelle

Gazelles are any of many antelope species in the genus Gazella. This article also deals with the seven species included in two further genera, Eudorcas and Nanger, which were formerly considered subgenera of Gazella. A third former subgenus, Procapra, includes three living species of Asian gazelles.

Gazelles are known as swift animals. Some are able to run at bursts as high as 100 km/h (60 mph) or run at a sustained speed of 50 km/h (30 mph). Gazelles are found mostly in the deserts, grasslands, and savannas of Africa; but they are also found in southwest and central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. They tend to live in herds, and eat less coarse, easily digestible plants and leaves.

Gazelles are relatively small antelopes, most standing 60–110 cm (2–3.5 ft) high at the shoulder, and are generally fawn-colored.

The gazelle genera are Gazella, Eudorcas, and Nanger. The taxonomy of these genera is confused, and the classification of species and subspecies has been an unsettled issue. Currently, the genus Gazella is widely considered to contain about 10 species. One species is extinct: the Queen of Sheba's gazelle. Most surviving gazelle species are considered threatened to varying degrees. Closely related to the true gazelles are the Tibetan Goa and Mongolian gazelles (species of the genus Procapra), the blackbuck of Asia, and the African springbok.

One widely familiar gazelle is the African species Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsoni), which is around 60 to 70 cm (24 to 28 in) in height at the shoulder and is coloured brown and white with a distinguishing black stripe. The males have long, often curved, horns. Like many other prey species, Tommies and springboks (as they are familiarly called) exhibit a distinctive behaviour of stotting (running and jumping high before fleeing) when they are threatened by predators, such as cheetahs, Lions, African Wild Dogs, Crocodiles, Hyenas, and Leopards.

## Baladora

The African subspecies of Gazelles roam Baladora's open savannas with other animals like Zebras, Giraffes, Warthogs, several species of antelope such as Wildebeests. They are hunted by predators such as Lions, Tigers, Hyenas, Jaguars, Panthers, Leopards, and Crocodiles.

Leopard

Leopards are one of the five extant species in the genus Panthera, a member of the cat family, Felidae. It occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa, in some parts of Western and Central Asia, Southern Russia, and on the Indian subcontinent to Southeast and East Asia. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, and are declining in large parts of the global range. The leopard is considered locally extinct in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Jordan, Morocco, Togo, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Kuwait, Syria, Libya, Tunisia and most likely in North Korea, Gambia, Laos, Lesotho, Tajikistan, Vietnam and Israel. Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range.

Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. Its fur is marked with rosettes. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar (Panthera onca), but has a smaller, lighter physique, and its rosettes are generally smaller, more densely packed and without central spots. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers. The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, strength, and its ability to adapt to a variety of habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas. It can run at speeds of up to 58 km/h (36 mph). The earliest known leopard fossils excavated in Europe are estimated 600,000 years old, dating to the late Early Pleistocene. Leopard fossils were also found in Japan and Sumatra.

## Baladora

Leopards are one of the the top predators in Baladora same for Lions, Tigers, Hyenas, Jaguars, Panthers, and Crocodiles. Lions roam Baladora's savanna with other plains dwelling animals. They hunt animals such as Zebras, Wildebeests, Impalas, Gazelles, Elands, Hartebeests, Oryx, Gerenuks, Kudus, and Kobs. They only species of Leopard that resides in Baladora is the African subspecies.
Tanar

Tanar is the chief of a tribe of cavemen in the hidden Baladorian valley of Jumanji. He, his wife La-ja and their people try to struggle to survive Jumanji wilderness that prehistoric wildlife live in amongst. Tanar's people are often used as slaves to Princess Mora of the Jumanji city of Phutra. He also help Turok, Elizabeth, and Professor Summerlee survive in Jumanji, fight against any animals that would be a threat, and to help free his people from Mora and her men with the giant ape Mangani.
Coati

Coatis, also known as coatimundis are members of the family Procyonidae in the genera Nasua and Nasuella. They are diurnal mammals native to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. The name "coatimundi" comes from the Tupian languages of Brazil, where it means "lone coati".

## Baladora

In Baladora Coatis roam Baladora's jungle with other animals. They lives in the trees which they share with Parrots, Monkeys, Hornbills, Sloths, Lemurs, and Toucans.
Guineafowl

### Attributes

Bare face, brown eyes, red and blue wattles at the bill, black white-spotted plumage, and hunched posture

### Length

58 cm

**Guineafowl** are birds of the family **Numididae** in the order Galliformes. They are endemic to Africa and rank among the oldest of the gallinaceous birds. Phylogenetically, they branched off from the core Galliformes after the Cracidae (chachalacas, guans, and curassows) and before the Odontophoridae (New World quail). An Eocene fossil lineage *Telecrex* has been associated with guineafowl; *Telecrex* inhabited Mongolia, and may have given rise to the oldest of the true phasianids, such as blood pheasants and eared pheasants, which evolved into high-altitude, montane-adapted species with the rise of the Tibetan Plateau. While modern guineafowl species are endemic to Africa, the helmeted guineafowl has been introduced as a domesticated bird widely elsewhere.

## Baladora

Guineafowls lives in the open savannas of Baladora eating insects that they find, while avoiding predators such as caracals.
Tortoise

Tortoises are reptile species of the family Testudinidae of the order Testudines (Latin: tortoise). They are particularly distinguished from other turtles (which includes the order Chelonia) by being exclusively land-dwelling, while many (though not all) other turtle species are at least partly aquatic. Like other turtles, tortoises have a shell to protect from predation and other threats. The shell in tortoises is generally hard, and like other members of the suborder Cryptodira, they retract their necks and heads directly backwards into the shell to protect them.

Tortoises can vary in size with some species, such as the Galapagos giant tortoise, growing to more than 1.2 m in length, whereas others like the Speckled cape tortoise have shells that measure only 6–8 cm long. Several lineages of tortoises have independently evolved very large body sizes in excess of 100 kg, including the Galapagos giant tortoise and the Aldabra giant tortoise. They are usually diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals. Tortoises are the longest-living land animals in the world, although the longest-living species of tortoise is a matter of debate. Galápagos tortoises are noted to live over 150 years, but an Aldabra giant tortoise named Adwaita may have lived an estimated 255 years. In general, most tortoise species can live 80–150 years.

## Baladora

Tortoises roam the jungles of Baladora and use their shells to hide in them so they will be safe from predators. They are the slowest animals in Baladora alongside the Sloths. They species of Tortoises that live in Baladora are the Giant and Galapagos Tortoises.
Dilophosaurus

Dilophosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Early Jurassic period in what is now North America.

## Baladora

Dilophosaurus are among the animals of prehistoric times that survive in the hidden Baladorian valley of Jumanji where they hunt animals such as medium dinosaurs, and primitive mammals.
Pangolin

Pangolins, sometimes known as scaly anteaters, are mammals of the order Pholidota. The one extant family, the Manidae, has three genera: Manis, Phataginus, and Smutsia. Manis comprises the four species found in Asia, while Phataginus and Smutsia include two species each, all found in sub-Saharan Africa. These species range in size from 30 to 100 cm (12 to 39 in). A number of extinct pangolin species are also known.

Pangolins have large, protective keratin scales, similar in material to fingernails and toenails, covering their skin; they are the only known mammals with this feature. They live in hollow trees or burrows, depending on the species. Pangolins are nocturnal, and their diet consists of mainly ants and termites, which they capture using their long tongues. They tend to be solitary animals, meeting only to mate and produce a litter of one to three offspring, which they raise for about two years.

## Baladora

The Pangolins species that lives in Baladora are the African species. They use their scales to protect themselves from predators such as Jackals.
Ichthyosaurus

Ichthyosaurus is a genus of marine reptile that lived during Late Triassic to Early Jurassic periods in what is now Eurasia.

## Baladora

The Ichthyosaurus is still alive in Baladora's hidden land of Jumanji along with other prehistoric animals that lives there. They are prey items for predators such as Pliosaurus, Tylosaurus, Cretoxyrhina, and Dunkleosteus.
Clayton Pelt's Men

Clayton Pelt's men were the henchmen of the game hunter Clayton Pelt in which he lead them so he would hunt down Turok's ape family when he betrayed his fiancée Elizabeth and her father Professor Summerlee. After Turok defeated Clayton, most of his men retreated and got locked up in jail, while several were killed by wild animals that helped Turok during his fight against Clayton such as Rhinos, Elephants, Zebras, and Wildebeests.
Kob

Kobs area a species antelope found across Central Africa and parts of West Africa and East Africa. Together with the closely related reedbucks, waterbucks, lechwe, Nile lechwe, and puku, it forms the Reduncinae tribe. Found along the northern savanna, it is often seen in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda; Garamba and Virunga National Park, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as grassy floodplains of South Sudan. Kob are found in wet areas (such as floodplains), where they eat grasses. Kob are diurnal, but inactive during the heat of the day. They live in groups of either females and calves or just males. These groups generally range from five to 40 animals.

Among the kobs of eastern Africa, the Ugandan kob (Kobus kob thomasi) appears on the coat of arms of Uganda, and white-eared kobs (Kobus kob leucotis), found in South Sudan, southwest Ethiopia, and extreme northeast Uganda, participate in large-scale migrations.

## Baladora

Kobs roam Baladora's open savannas with other animals like Zebras, Giraffes, Warthogs, several species of antelope such as Wildebeests. They are hunted by predators such as Lions, Tigers, Hyenas, Jaguars, Panthers, Leopards, and Crocodiles.
Tipani

Tipani are a tribe of people who live in Baladora's jungles in treehouse that protects them from many animals such as big cats, hyenas, and crocodiles. Like the Jumaki tribe, the Tipani originated from South America and came to Baladora about 8,000 years ago. Tipani mostly hunt animal such as warthogs and steal ostrich eggs.
Otter

**Otters** are carnivorous mammals in the subfamily **Lutrinae**. The 13 extant otter species are all semiaquatic, aquatic, or marine, with diets based on fish and invertebrates. Lutrinae is a branch of the Mustelidae family, which also includes weasels, badgers, mink, and wolverines, among other animals.

## Baladora

The African Clawless Otter is the only species of otter found in the lush jungles of Baladora. They often roam the rivers eating fish while avoiding other predators like Crocodiles.
Mole-Rat

The **blesmols**, also known as **mole-rats**, or **African mole-rats**, are burrowing rodents of the family **Bathyergidae**. They represent a distinct evolution of a subterranean life among rodents much like the pocket gophers of North America, the tuco-tucos in South America, or the Spalacidae from Eurasia.

## Baladora

African Mole-Rats are the only species of Mole-Rat found in Baladora. They often live in burrows to hide from predators dwelling the jungles and savannas of the country.
Vulture

* Rüppell's vulture
* King vulture

Vultures are birds of prey that scavenges on carrion. There are 23 extant species of vulture (including Condors). Old World vultures include 16 living species native to Europe, Africa, and Asia; New World vultures are restricted to North and South America and consist of seven identified species, all belonging to the Cathartidae family A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald, unfeathered head. This bare skin is thought to keep the head clean when feeding, and also plays an important role in thermoregulation.

Vultures have been observed to hunch their bodies and tuck in their heads in the cold, and open their wings and stretch their necks in the heat. They also urinate on themselves as a means of cooling their bodies.

A group of vultures in flight is called a 'kettle', while the term 'committee' refers to a group of vultures resting on the ground or in trees. A group of vultures that are feeding is termed 'wake'.

## Baladora

The two species of Vultures in Baladora is the Rüppell's Vulture of Africa, and the King Vulture of South America. They scavenge the meat of dead animals like Zebras, Wildebeests, Kudus, Giraffes, and other animals.
Cichlid

**Cichlids** are fish from the family **Cichlidae** in the order Cichliformes. Cichlids were traditionally classed in a suborder, the Labroidei, along with the wrasses (Labridae), in the order Perciformes, but molecular studies have contradicted this grouping. On the basis of fossil evidence, it first appeared in Tanzania during the Eocene epoch, about 46–45 million years ago. The closest living relative of cichlids is probably the convict blenny, and both families are classified in the 5th edition of *Fishes of the World* as the two families in the Cichliformes, part of the subseries Ovalentaria. This family is both large and diverse. At least 1,650 species have been scientifically described, making it one of the largest vertebrate families. New species are discovered annually, and many species remain undescribed. The actual number of species is therefore unknown, with estimates varying between 2,000 and 3,000.

## Baladora

Cichlids lives in the rivers of Baladora with other animals such as other fish, crocodiles, and hippos.
Pachycephalosaurus

Pachycephalosaurus is a genus of pachycephalosaur dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous, in what is now North America.

## Baladora

Pachycephalosaurus is one of the dinosaurs who survived from becoming extinct by living in the hidden valley of Jumanji located in the country of Baladora. These dinosaurs use their bony skulls either fighting or defense against predators.
Centipede

Centipedes are predatory arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda of the subphylum Myriapoda, an arthropod group which also includes millipedes and other multi-legged creatures. Centipedes are elongated metameric creatures with one pair of legs per body segment. Most centipedes are venomous and can inflict painful bites, injecting their venom through pincer-like appendages known as forcipules. Despite the name, centipedes can have a varying number of legs, ranging from 30 to 354. Centipedes always have an odd number of pairs of legs. Therefore, no centipede has exactly 100 legs. Like spiders and scorpions, centipedes are predominantly carnivorous.

Their size can range from a few millimetres in the smaller lithobiomorphs and geophilomorphs to about 30 cm (12 in) in the largest scolopendromorphs. Centipedes can be found in a wide variety of environments. They normally have a drab coloration combining shades of brown and red. Cavernicolous (cave-dwelling) and subterranean species may lack pigmentation, while many tropical scolopendromorphs have bright aposematic colors.

Worldwide, an estimated 8,000 species of centipedes are thought to exist, of which 3,000 have been described. Centipedes have a wide geographical range, even reaching beyond the Arctic Circle. They are found in an array of terrestrial habitats from tropical rainforests to deserts. Within these habitats, centipedes require a moist microhabitat because they lack the waxy cuticle of insects and arachnids, therefore causing them to rapidly lose water. Accordingly, they are found in soil and leaf litter, under stones and dead wood, and inside logs. Centipedes are among the largest terrestrial invertebrate predators, and often contribute significantly to the invertebrate predatory biomass in terrestrial ecosystems.

## Baladora

The species of Centipede that lives in the tropical region of Baladora is the Scolopendra gigantea from South America. They are sometimes food for Chameleons.
Iguana

***Iguana*** is a genus of herbivorous lizards that are native to tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The genus was first described in 1768 by Austrian naturalist Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in his book *Specimen Medicum, Exhibens Synopsin Reptilium Emendatam cum Experimentis circa Venena*. Two species are placed in the genus, the green iguana, which is widespread throughout its range and a popular pet, and the Lesser Antillean iguana, which is native to the Lesser Antilles. Genetic analysis indicates that the green iguana may comprise a complex of multiple species, some of which have been recently described, but the Reptile Database considers all of these as subspecies of the green iguana.

The word "iguana" is derived from the original Taino name for the species, *iwana*. In addition to the two species in the genus *Iguana*, several other related genera in the same family have common names of the species including the word "iguana".

## Baladora

The Green Iguana is the only species of Iguana that lives in the tropical jungles of Baladora. They mostly eat the leaves and flowers that grow in Baladora's lush environment as well as fruits that grows in the jungle.
Rat

**Rats** are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents. Species of rats are found throughout the order Rodentia, but stereotypical rats are found in the genus *Rattus*. Other rat genera include *Neotoma* (pack rats), *Bandicota* (bandicoot rats) and *Dipodomys* (kangaroo rats).

Rats are typically distinguished from mice by their size. Usually the common name of a large muroid rodent will include the word "rat", while a smaller muroid's name will include "mouse". The common terms *rat* and *mouse* are not taxonomically specific. There are 56 known species of rats in the world.

## Baladora

Black Rats the species that resides in Baladora and spend most of the time stealing straps. They mostly roam the alley ways of Barsoom and are known to spread diseases to people. Rats are also prey items for Baladorian Owls that often flies Baladora's skies in the night.
Roan Antelope

The **roan antelope** (***Hippotragus equinus***) is a large savanna-dwelling antelope found in western, central, and southern Africa. Named for its roan colour (a reddish brown), it has lighter underbellies, white eyebrows and cheeks and black faces, lighter in females. It has short, erect manes, very light beards and prominent red nostrils. It is one of the largest antelope, measuring 190–240 cm (75–94 in) from head to the base of the tail, and a 37–48 cm (15–19 in) long tail. Males weigh 242–300 kg (534–661 lb) and females 223–280 kg (492–617 lb). Its shoulder height is around 130–140 cm (51–55 in).

## Baladora

The Roan Antelope roam the open savannas of Baladora with many other animals such as other antelopes such as wildebeests, zebras, and giraffes. Mostly predators such as lions, leopards, tigers, jaguars, wild dogs, and hyenas will hunt these antelope for food.
Bongo

Bongos are herbivorous, mostly nocturnal forest ungulates. Bongos are characterised by a striking reddish-brown coat, black and white markings, white-yellow stripes and long slightly spiralled horns. They are the only tragelaphid in which both sexes have horns. They have a complex social interaction and are found in African dense forest mosaics. Native to Africa, they are the third-largest antelope in the world.

## Baladora

Bongos roam Baladora's jungles grazing on leaves on bushes. They are sometimes hunted by predators such as Lions, Tigers, Hyenas, Jaguars, Panthers, and Crocodiles.
Edaphosaurus

Edaphosaurus is a genus of edaphosaurid synapsids that lived in what is now North America and Europe during the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian.

## Baladora

Edaphosaurus are one of the many prehistoric animals that survive and continued thriving in the hidden valley of Jumanji in the country of Baladora. They are prey items for animals such as Dimetrodon, predatory dinosaurs, and Saber-Tooth Tigers.
Oxpecker

The **oxpeckers** are two species of bird which make up the genus ***Buphagus***, and family **Buphagidae**. The oxpeckers were formerly usually treated as a subfamily, Buphaginae, within the starling family, Sturnidae, but molecular phylogenetic studies have consistently shown that they form a separate lineage that is basal to the sister clades containing the Sturnidae and the Mimidae (mockingbirds, thrashers, and allies). Oxpeckers are endemic to the savanna of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Both the English and scientific names arise from their habit of perching on large mammals (both wild and domesticated) such as cattle, zebras, impalas, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, and giraffes, eating ticks, small insects, botfly larvae, and other parasites, as well as the animals' blood. The behaviour of oxpeckers towards large mammals was thought to be exclusively mutual, though recent research suggests the relationship can be parasitic in nature as well. The swahili name for the red-billed oxpecker is Askari wa kifaru (the rhino's guard).

## Baladora

Oxpeckers are often found in Baladora's open savannas eating Ticks, small insects and other parasites on the back of animals such as rhinos, buffalo, hippos, zebras, antelope, and giraffes.
Porcupine

Porcupines are large rodents with coats of sharp spines, or quills, that protect them against predation. The term covers two families of animals: the Old World porcupines of family Hystricidae, and the New World porcupines of family Erethizontidae. Both families belong to the infraorder Hystricognathi within the profoundly diverse order Rodentia and display superficially similar coats of rigid and/or semi-rigid quills which are modified hairs composed of keratin. Despite this, the two groups are distinct from one another and are not closely related to each other within the Hystricognathi. The largest species of porcupine is the third-largest living rodent in the world after the capybara and beaver.

The Old World porcupines live in Southern Europe, Asia (western and southern), and most of Africa. They are large, terrestrial, and strictly nocturnal. In taxonomic terms, they form the family Hystricidae.

The New World porcupines are indigenous to North America and northern South America. They live in wooded areas and can climb trees, where some species spend their entire lives. They are less strictly nocturnal than their Old World counterparts, and generally smaller. In taxonomic terms, they form the family Erethizontidae.

Most porcupines are about 60–90 cm (25–36 in) long, with a 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long tail. Weighing 5–16 kg (12–35 lb), they are rounded, large, and slow, and use an aposematic strategy of defence. Porcupines' colouration consists of various shades of brown, grey and white. Porcupines' spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated erinaceomorph hedgehogs and Australian monotreme echidnas as well as tenrecid tenrecs.

## Baladora

The species of Porcupines that resides in Baladora's rainforest is the African Crested Porcupine. They use their quills for defense against predators such as Lions, Tigers, and Hyenas.
Themba

Themba is an Omaticaya who is second-in-command to Chief Keewazi and the father of Tiziri. He is leads hunting parties to hunt animals living on the Baladorian savannahs. Eventually Themba and the rest of Keewazi's tribes becomes good friends to Turok and help fight against the vengeful Clayton Pelt who would try to kill him for revenge for ruining his plan to hunt Turok's ape family.
Chameleon

Chameleons or chamaeleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of Old World lizards with 202 species described as of June 2015. These species come in a range of colours, and many species have the ability to change colour.

Chameleons are distinguished by their zygodactylous feet, their swaying gait, and crests or horns on their brow and snout. Most species, the larger ones in particular, also have a prehensile tail. Chameleons' eyes are independently mobile, but in aiming at a prey item, they focus forward in coordination, affording the animal stereoscopic vision.

Chameleons are adapted for climbing and visual hunting. They live in warm habitats that range from rainforest to desert conditions, with various species occurring in Africa, Madagascar, southern Europe, and across southern Asia as far as Sri Lanka. They have been introduced to Hawaii, California, and Florida.

## Baladora

The species of Chameleons that lives in Baladora's jungle is the African and Asian species. They eat animals such as insects which they catch with their long sticky tongue. They use their camouflage to blend into the surroundings to hide from predators.
Owl

Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl.

Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except the polar ice caps and some remote islands.

Owls are divided into two families: the true (or typical) owl family, Strigidae, and the barn-owl family, Tytonidae.

A group of owls is called a "parliament".

## Baladora

The species of Owl the resides in Baladora is the African Eagle Owl. They eat animals such as mice, and rats.
Black Mamba

The **black mamba** (*Dendroaspis polylepis*) is a species of highly venomous snake belonging to the family Elapidae. It is native to parts of sub-Saharan Africa. First formally described by Albert Günther in 1864, it is the second-longest venomous snake after the king cobra; mature specimens generally exceed 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and commonly grow to 3 m (9.8 ft). Specimens of 4.3 to 4.5 m (14 to 15 ft) have been reported. Its skin colour varies from grey to dark brown. Juvenile black mambas tend to be paler than adults and darken with age. Despite the common name, the skin of a black mamba is not black, but rather describes the inside of its mouth, which it displays when feeling threatened.

The species is both terrestrial (ground-living) and arboreal (tree-living); it inhabits savannah, woodland, rocky slopes and in some regions, dense forest. It is diurnal and is known to prey on birds and small mammals. Over suitable surfaces, it can move at speeds up to 16 km/h (10 mph) for short distances. Adult black mambas have few natural predators.

## Baladora

Black Mamba's are one of Baladora's most common and most dangerous snakes due to their highly venomous bite. They often inhabits the country's dense jungles and open savannahs looking for prey such as mice and rats.
Angelica Flint

Angelica Flint is a female pirate who is the descendant of Captain Dreadbeard, a pirate captain who set foot on Baladora's shores to find the treasure located in the Ancient Temple of the Skiwans but had met his death by many of the wildlife of Baladora. Angelica inherits her family's heritage of piracy by plundering ships, stealing gold, and killing people. She and her crew eventually arrives on Baladora to find the treasure that her ancestor had previously tried to look for.
Troodon

Troodon is a genus of troodont that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now North America.

## Baladora

After surviving the extinction of dinosaurs the Troodon now prowls the landscapes of the hidden land of Jumanji located in the country of Baladora. They would scavenge for meat that another animal has killed and would attack humans at certain times for the meat.
Brachiosaurus

Brachiosaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that originated during the Late Jurassic period in what is now North America, Africa, and Europe. Named for the large bones of its foreleg and among the most iconic dinosaurs of all time, Brachiosaurus stood 13 meters tall, measured 23 meters long, and weighed 70 tons, making it one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. It was an enormous sauropod that fed on the tops of Conifer trees, sometimes felling them with their sheer bulk if they were taller than them or not.

## Baladora

Brachiosaurus still exist on the prehistoric land of Jumanji located on the fictional country of Baladora. It is the largest animal in Jumanji even bigger than predatory dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus. They roam on Jumanji's open plains with other prehistoric creatures like other dinosaurs and mammals like the Mammoth and the Ground Sloth.
Wasp

### Attributes

Wings stinger; no hair on abdomens that is connected to their thorax; segmented antennae

### Weight

103.1 mg

A **wasp** is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can sting their prey.

The most commonly known wasps, such as yellowjackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. Eusociality is favoured by the unusual haplodiploid system of sex determination in Hymenoptera, as it makes sisters exceptionally closely related to each other. However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently. Females typically have an ovipositor for laying eggs in or near a food source for the larvae, though in the Aculeata the ovipositor is often modified instead into a sting used for defense or prey capture. Wasps play many ecological roles. Some are predators or pollinators, whether to feed themselves or to provision their nests. Many, notably the cuckoo wasps, are kleptoparasites, laying eggs in the nests of other wasps. Many of the solitary wasps are parasitoidal, meaning they lay eggs on or in other insects (any life stage from egg to adult) and often provision their own nests with such hosts. Unlike true parasites, the wasp larvae eventually kill their hosts. Solitary wasps parasitize almost every pest insect, making wasps valuable in horticulture for biological pest control of species such as whitefly in tomatoes and other crops.

Wasps first appeared in the fossil record in the Jurassic, and diversified into many surviving superfamilies by the Cretaceous. They are a successful and diverse group of insects with tens of thousands of described species; wasps have spread to all parts of the world except for the polar regions. The largest social wasp is the Asian giant hornet, at up to 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in length; among the largest solitary wasps is a group of species known as tarantula hawks, along with the giant scoliid of Indonesia (*Megascolia procer*). The smallest wasps are solitary parasitoid wasps in the family Mymaridae, including the world's smallest known insect, with a body length of only 0.139 mm (0.0055 in), and the smallest known flying insect, only 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) long.

## Baladora

The wasp species found in Baladora are the Belonogaster juncea which lives in Africa and Asia. They use their stingers to attack or defend themselves from anything they feel as a threat.
Labyrinthodont

**Labyrinthodont"** is an informal grouping of predatory amphibians which were major components of ecosystems in the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras (about 390 to 150 million years ago). Traditionally considered a subclass of the class Amphibia, modern classification systems recognize that labyrinthodonts are not a formal natural group (clade) exclusive of other tetrapods. Instead, they consistute an evolutionary grade (a paraphyletic group), ancestral to living tetrapods such as lissamphibians (modern amphibians) and amniotes (reptiles, mammals, and kin). "Labyrinthodont"-grade vertebrates evolved from lobe-finned fishes in the Devonian, though a formal boundary between fish and amphibian is difficult to define at this point in time.

## Baladora

Labyrinthodonts survived by living in the lakes and rivers of Jumanji, Baladora's hidden prehistoric land where extinct still thrive. They would hunt animals such as fish and insects to would live in those rivers.
Crocodile

* Nile Crocodile
* West African Crocodile

Crocodiles (family Crocodylidae) or true crocodiles are large semiaquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. The term crocodile is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae), and all other living and fossil Crocodylomorpha.

Although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. The gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. Another obvious trait is that the upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and the teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed; therefore, all teeth are visible, unlike an alligator, which possesses in the upper jaw small depressions into which the lower teeth fit. Also, when the crocodile's mouth is closed, the large fourth tooth in the lower jaw fits into a constriction in the upper jaw. For hard-to-distinguish specimens, the protruding tooth is the most reliable feature to define the species' family. Crocodiles have more webbing on the toes of the hind feet and can better tolerate saltwater due to specialized salt glands for filtering out salt, which are present, but non-functioning, in alligators. Another trait that separates crocodiles from other crocodilians is their much higher levels of aggression.

## Baladora

In Baladora the only species of Crocodile that resides in it's jungles are the Nile Crocodiles and West African Crocdiles. They are one of the top predators of Baladora and will kill anything they see along the river's edge. Crocodiles would sometimes compete against Hippopotamuses that also resides in the Baladorian jungle rivers.
Tublat

Tublat is a male Gorilla who is the sliverback of his family and the foster father of Turok which of whom they adopted him after he was found in a treehouse alone after his parents were killed the Lion named Sabor that also killed his infant son years before.

Tublat can get very aggressive against any animal or human that would try to pose a threat to him and his family.
Zebra

* Plains Zebra
* Mountain Zebra
* Grevy's Zebra

**Zebras** are African equines with distinctive black-and-white striped coats. There are three living species: the Grévy's zebra (*Equus grevyi*), plains zebra (*E. quagga*), and the mountain zebra (*E. zebra*). Zebras share the genus *Equus* with horses and asses, the three groups being the only living members of the family Equidae. Zebra stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. Several theories have been proposed for the function of these stripes, with most evidence supporting them as a deterrent for biting flies. Zebras inhabit eastern and southern Africa and can be found in a variety of habitats such as savannahs, grasslands, woodlands, shrublands, and mountainous areas.

Zebras are primarily grazers and can subsist on lower-quality vegetation. They are preyed on mainly by lions and typically flee when threatened but also bite and kick. Zebra species differ in social behaviour, with plains and mountain zebra living in stable harems consisting of an adult male or stallion, several adult females or mares, and their young or foals; while Grévy's zebra live alone or in loosely associated herds. In harem-holding species, adult females mate only with their harem stallion, while male Grévy's zebras establish territories which attract females and the species is promiscuous. Zebras communicate with various vocalisations, body postures and facial expressions. Social grooming strengthens social bonds in plains and mountain zebras.

## Baladora

Every subspecies of Zebras roam Baladora's open savannas with other animals like Wildebeests, Giraffes, several species of antelope. They are hunted by predators such as Lions, Tigers, Hyenas, Jaguars, Panthers, and Crocodiles.
Mangani

Mangani is a massive ape who resides in the hidden land of Jumanji located in Baladora's jungles. He belongs to a species of that are similar in appearance and behavior of a gorilla but grows to the size of an elephant. He is treated like a god by some of the tribes of Jumanji and can attack and killed any creatures that would attack him such as dinosaurs.

## Biography

It's unknown about how the ape species that Mangani is a part of came to be, but what is known about his species is that they similar in appearance to modern gorillas and weigh 3 tons. It is said that Mangani's kind originated during prehistory when mammals have already dominated the planet following the demise of the dinosaurs. Eventually Mangani's ancestors migrated to Jumanji, located hidden in Baladora where they evolved into elephant sized giants and defend their families from carnivorous dinosaurs and predatory mammals much like their smaller relatives outside of Jumanji. A few Jumanji races mostly the Gilaks worship Mangani as a god due to his emormous size despite just being an ordinary ape.
Brontotherium

Brontotherium is a genus of rhino-like mammal that lived during the Late Eocene epoch in what is now North America.

## Baladora

Brontotherium are among the primitive mammals that survive in the prehistoric valley of Jumanji located deep in the jungles of the country of Baladora. They are prey items for predators such as Saber-Tooth Tigers, and predatory dinosaurs.
Caveman

Cavemen, better known as Neanderthals are a genus of archaic humans that lived in Europe and Siberia during the Late Plestiocene. They are one of the first humans to bury the dead and are the most successful human species to have lived.

## Baladora

In Jumanji, Baladora's hidden prehistoric land, Neanderthals surivived and were one of the first hominids in Jumanji. Turok and his friends met the chief of a caveman tribe named Tanar which Turok helps them free primitive people who are slaves to Princess Mora of Phutra.
