American Lion

The **American lion** (*Panthera atrox*) also known as the **North American lion**, **American cave lion**, or **Naegele's giant jaguar** was an extinct lion endemic to North America during the Pleistocene epoch (340,000 to 11,000 years ago), existing for about 0.33 million years and is one of the largest types of cat to have ever existed. It has shown to be a sister lineage to the European cave lion by genetic analysis.

American Mink

In the days when it was the norm for every wealthy woman to own a mink (*Neovison vison*) coat, this native of North America was hunted relentlessly for its luxurious pelt. Such was its popularity that mink ranching was established to cope with demand and by the mid-1960s there were 7200 ranches competing to produce superior pelts.
Mink farming prospered in Britain for a while but fashions change and escapees from mink farms have had a more lasting impact than fur coats. With no natural predators, these ferocious little creatures thrived and multiplied with devastating results for British wildlife and domestic poultry. With its webbed feet, the mink is a strong swimmer, catching fish and waterfowl without too much trouble. On land, ground-nesting birds are seriously threatened as their nests are so easily accessible and millions of pounds are being spent on trying to eradicate this pest from Scottish islands.
American Beaver

The beaver (*Castor canadensis*) is an architect. Its complex creation of dams and lodges has earned it a reputation as one of nature's greatest engineers. A beaver gnaws its way round the trunk of a tree and can fell a sapling in under 30 minutes. Thus begins the dam, the beaver using its hand-like front paws to fill the gaps with mud, stones and vegetation. The lake formed behind the dam provides a safe retreat from predators, a storehouse for essential winter supplies of timber for food, and an underwater entrance to the family home.

The beaver and its extended family work together at night, posting a sentry that spanks the water with its tail to warn of danger. Closing its ears and nostrils, and lowering its heart rate, the beaver can stay submerged for up to 15 minutes.

Adaro

## Characteristics

Adaro is depicted as having a man-like appearance but with gills behind its ears and tail fins instead of feet, embodying characteristics of both humans and fish. A notable feature of the Adaro is a horn resembling a shark's dorsal fin, along with a spear-like projection from its head, similar to that of a swordfish or sawfish. These features contribute to the Adaro's fearsome and imposing image.

## Behavior and Mythology

The Adaro is considered dangerous and malevolent, arising from the wicked part of a human's spirit. This creature is believed to have the ability to travel in waterspouts or along rainbows. They are particularly notorious for attacking people, specifically fishermen, by firing flying poisonous fish as projectiles.

## Cultural Significance

In the culture of the Solomon Islands, the Adaro holds a significant place in folklore, often serving as a cautionary tale or a representation of the darker aspects of the human spirit. Their ability to move along rainbows and through waterspouts adds a mystical quality to their character, blending natural phenomena with mythological beliefs.

## Additional Notes

The Adaro is said to visit humans in their dreams to teach them new songs and dances. They are believed to be led by a chief named Ngorieru, who resides off the coast of San Cristobal, an island in the Solomon Islands. Boats passing near their territory are known to paddle softly to avoid disturbing these creatures.

In summary, the Adaro represents a fascinating blend of human and aquatic traits, embodying the fears and myths of the ocean and its mysterious inhabitants. Their portrayal in Melanesian folklore as malevolent spirits arising from the evil part of the human soul adds depth to their mythological significance.

Aepyhippopotamus

**Aepyhippopotamus** is an extinct genus of hippopotamus that lived during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene epochs, approximately 9 to 5 million years ago. It is believed to have been closely related to the modern hippopotamus, and was one of several hippopotamus species that lived in Africa during this time period. Aepyhippopotamus was a relatively small hippopotamus, standing only about 1 meter (3 feet) tall at the shoulder and weighing around 200 kg (440 pounds). It likely lived in swampy habitats, feeding on aquatic vegetation and possibly also small animals. Its teeth were adapted for grinding tough plant material, and it had a barrel-shaped body that was well-suited for swimming and diving. The evolutionary relationships between Aepyhippopotamus and other hippopotamus species are still the subject of scientific debate. Some researchers believe that Aepyhippopotamus is a direct ancestor of the modern hippopotamus, while others suggest that it may represent a side branch of the hippopotamus family tree that eventually went extinct. Despite its relatively short existence, Aepyhippopotamus is an important species for understanding the evolution of hippopotamuses and their place in the broader mammalian tree of life. Fossils of this genus have been found in various parts of Africa, and continue to be studied by scientists seeking to better understand the diversity of life that once existed on our planet.

Aatxe

## Origins and Cultural Significance

Aatxe's origins are ancient, stemming from the Basque Country's long-standing oral storytelling traditions. This region, straddling northern Spain and southwestern France, is known for its distinctive cultural identity, reflected in its mythology. Aatxe is a product of this rich heritage, often linked to the natural elements of the region, particularly caves and the rugged terrain of the Pyrenees mountains.

## Physical Description

Typically, Aatxe is portrayed as a large, red bull with fiery eyes and sharp horns, embodying a powerful and menacing presence. In some tales, Aatxe possesses the ability to shape-shift, often transforming into a handsome young man. This characteristic adds a layer of deception and intrigue to Aatxe's nature.

## Behavior and Role in Folklore

Aatxe is often associated with malevolent intentions, particularly towards those who disrespect sacred spaces or venture recklessly into its territory. It's known for attacking criminals and other malevolent individuals, also protecting people by keeping them home when danger is near. In some interpretations, Aatxe is considered a guardian of sacred caves and a representative or enforcer of the goddess Mari's will.

## Modern Interpretation

In contemporary times, Aatxe remains a symbol of Basque folklore and serves to remind us of the region's unique cultural heritage. It also symbolizes the respect for nature and the consequences of disrespecting sacred spaces.
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: سگ تازی). Other names for this breed are Tāzī, Balkh Hound, Baluchi Hound, Barakzai Hound, Shalgar Hound, Kabul Hound, Galanday Hound or sometimes incorrectly African Hound. They have the ability to run and turn well.
African Forest Elephant

The African forest elephant (*Loxodonta cyclotis*) is a forest-dwelling species of elephant found in the Congo Basin. It is smallest of the three exact species of elephant, but still one of the largest living terristrial animals. The African forest elephant and African bush elephant *(L. africana)* were conciderd to be one species until one generic studies indicated that they separated an estimated 2-7 million years ago. Due to a smaller birth rate, the forest elephant takes longer to recover from poaching, witch caused by it's population to fall by 65% from 2002 to 2014. Generly, these forest-dwelling elephants are smaller and darker than their savanna relatives, the bush elephants. The species normally has five toenails on the forefoot like the Asian elephant, but unlike the African bush elephant witch normally has four toes on the front foot  and three on the hind foot. They also protect themselves from the sun by using sand.

Atlantic Giant Grouper

The **Atlantic goliath grouper** or **itajara** (*Epinephelus itajara*), also known as the **jewfish**, is a large saltwater fish of the grouper family found primarily in shallow tropical waters among coral and artificial reefs at depths from 5 to 50 m (16 to 164 ft). On the Western side, its range includes the Florida Keys in the US, the Bahamas, most of the Caribbean and most of the Brazilian coast. On some occasions, it is caught off the coasts of the US states of New England off Maine and Massachusetts. In the eastern Atlantic Ocean, it occurs from the Congo to Senegal. Young Atlantic goliath groupers may live in brackish estuaries, oyster beds, canals, and mangrove swamps, which is unusual behavior among groupers. They may reach extremely large sizes, growing to lengths up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft) and can weigh as much as 360 kg (790 lb). The world record for a hook-and-line-captured specimen is 308.44 kg (680.0 lb), caught off Fernandina Beach, Florida, in 1961. They are usually around 180 kg (400 lb) when mature. Considered of fine food quality, Atlantic goliath grouper were a highly sought-after quarry for fishermen. It is a relatively easy prey for spear fishermen because of the grouper's inquisitive and generally fearless nature. They also tend to spawn in large aggregations, returning annually to the same locations. This makes them particularly vulnerable to mass harvesting while breeding. Until a harvest ban was placed on the species, its population was in rapid decline. The fish is recognized as "vulnerable" globally and "endangered" in the Gulf of Mexico. It is entirely protected from harvest. The US began protection in 1990, and the Caribbean in 1993. The species' population has been recovering since the ban; with the fish's slow growth rate, however, some time will be needed for populations to return to their previous levels. Goliath groupers eat crustaceans, other fish, octopuses, young sea turtles, sharks, and barracudas. They are known to attack divers, and have even been seen attacking large lemon sharks.

Atlas Bear

The **Atlas** or **Africa brown bear** (*Ursus arctos crowtheri*) was Africa's only native bear that survived into modern times. Once inhabiting the Atlas Mountains and its neighboring areas, from Morocco to Libya, the animal is now thought to be extinct. The Atlas bear was brownish black in color and lacked a white mark on the muzzle. The fur on the underparts was reddish orange. The fur was 4–5 inches (100–130 mm) long. The muzzle and claws were shorter than those of the American black bear, though it was stouter and thicker in the body. The Atlas bear was said to have been 9 feet long and weighed 1,000 pounds (450 kg). It apparently fed on roots, acorns, and nuts. The Atlas bear was said to have been mostly herbivorous, but since most bears today are omnivores, the Atlas bear is believed to have been able to eat meat as well.

Asian elephant

Each Asian elephant (*Elephas maximus)* needs 200-300 square km of forest to sustain it - a tall order in some of the most densely populated areas on Earth. Habitat destruction and ivory poaching have driven this revered creature into ever smaller pockets of land and there are only about 40,000 at most left in the wild. The elephant has long been a symbol of wisdom in India and man's association with it goes back 5000 years. It is an important part of the country's folklore and, under the control of a *mahout*, or handler, the elephant has played a major role in the transport of goods and people, in heavy forestry and agricultural work and as a hunting platform. It eats and drinks a prodigious amount: 150kg of vegetation and 140 litres of water per day. It strips the bark off a large branch by rotating it in its mouth with its trunk and peeling with its teeth - rather as a person eats corn on the cob.

African Lion

The African lion *(Panthera leo leo)* is a currently the nominate subspecies of lion, native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Their often referred as the Babary lion, Cape lion, Congo lion, Katanga lion, Masai lion, Transaval lion, and West African lion. Unlike the Asiatic lion, African lions form in larger prides.

Arctic Wolf

The Arctic wolf (*Canis lupus arctos*)

    spends autumn and winter roaming singly or in small packs in its constant quest for food. In these months of darkness it can survive sub-freezing temperatures and weeks without eating. Alone, the wolf will seize Arctic hare and lemmings. In the hunt for larger prey the pack work together, following migrating herds of caribou, and separate the young or weaker animals unable to outrun them. A caribou or muskox will feed the pack for several days.

A small pack of Arctic wolves is quite often a family group comprising the alpha male and alpha female, and their offspring. The cubs are born blind and helpless, relying on their mother's milk for the first four weeks and then the pack co-operates in feeding, regurgitating meat from the kill.
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

A huge, fast killing machine, the bluefin tuna (*Thunnus thynnus*), with its torpedo-shaped body, is built for speed and endurance. It can swim at more than 80kph and feeds on anchovies, hake, squid and red crabs. When young it moves in schools of many hundreds but when it grows larger - the average size is about 230kg - it forms smaller groups of up to 40. A monster fish of 500kg or more tends to be solitary. Tuna meat has always had a high reputation for flavour and texture and this has led to a very high demand, despite its high price. The result has been overfishing and, in the case of the Atlantic bluefin, a depletion in stocks to the point of rarity. Other tuna species are also suffering a similar fate, particularly since the popularization in the west of Japanese dishes such as *sashimi* which use fresh tuna.

Arctic Tern

Arctic terns (*Sterna paradisaea*) are the ultimate sunseekers, getting more exposure to its warming rays than any other creature. To achieve this, of course, they have to travel a long way. Each August they leave their northern quarters and head south. Those from Arctic Canada and Greenland meet the groups from Arctic Russia in western Europe and travel down the African coast to the Cape of Good Hope. Some re-cross the Atlantic to join another group from northern Canada at Cape Horn. Then they all fly across the Southern Ocean to Antarctica to enjoy their second summer of the year with 24-hour daylight. Terns can be extremely aggressive at nesting time, 'dive-bombing' intruders and screaming raucously. Anyone coming a little bit too near will be punctured by their sharp red beaks. Other birds like to nest near them to benefit from their protection.

Atlantic Horseshoe Crab

The sight of horseshoe crabs (*Limulus polyphemus*) spawning is one of nature's greatest spectacles as thousands gather together on their chosen beaches in late spring. They arrive on shore on the high spring tides and the males (which are smaller) clasp the females, which tow them up the beach to fertilize the eggs immediately after laying. Up to 20,000 small, green eggs are deposited in batches by each female and the waves wash a covering of sand over them. It is as well that they are so prolific as migratory shore birds feast on the eggs, fish eat the juvenile crabs and fishermen take adults for bait.

The horseshoe crab is also valued by the pharmaceutical industry. An extract of its blood is used in tests for bacterial contamination. This poses no threat to the species as scientists have devised a method of extracting blood and returning the crab to the water relatively unharmed.
Atlantic Puffin

The puffin (*Fratercula arctica*), a consummate swimmer and diver, is uncomfortable on land and is so vulnerable to predators that it does the only thing possible to get away from them: it goes underground. Puffins dig burrows up to 1m long in soft cliffs on headlands and islands. Sometimes they requisition old rabbit burrows. Here they lay their eggs and the chick spends its first seven weeks below ground being fed on the sand eels or other small fish that its parents carry, up to 30 at a time, in their huge, colourful bills. The parents then abandon the chick and, after a few days, it creeps by night to the sea.

The islanders on St Kilda off the west coast of Scotland used to hunt the puffin, among other seabirds, and make a nourishing dish of whole puffin cooked in porridge oats.
Andean Condor

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

All foxes are renowned for their cunning and the arctic fox (*Vulpes lagopus*) is no exception. In this harsh environment with scarce prey, it will follow the polar bear's footprints in the snow in the hope of scavenging from a seal carcass. If unsuccessful it will use its keen senses of sight and smell to hunt for smaller mammals, eggs or berries. Occasionally it will sniff out a newly born seal pup and dig down to its lair.

The thick fur of the arctic fox traps air and provides excellent insulation, allowing it to doze unharmed in the snow for an hour or so at temperatures as low as -50 degrees C. Even the undersides of its paws are covered with fur and when scarce winds blow relentlessly across the barren landscape, the arctic fox uses its furry paws to dig a den several feet deep in the snow.
Aslan's Army

**Aslan's Army of the Kingdom of Narnia**Aslansarmy.jpg was the first known Narnian military force established by Aslan, and first led by King Peter Pevensie and commanded by King Edmund Pevensie. Aslan's Army flew flags with a bright red depiction of the Great Lion, and they triumphantly won the First Battle of Beruna, defeating the White Witch and her army.

The Army slowly declined, especially during the Dark Age, and proved unable to fight off the Telmarine invaders, after which it was completely dissolved. After the Telmarine Army, the next legitimate military body of Narnia was the Old Narnian army.

Aslan's Army is made up of the following known creatures: -

Amur Leopard

The **Amur, Siberian, Ussuri, Russian,**or **Korean leopard** (*Panthera pardus orientalis*) is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with just 35 remaining in the wild, all in the Russian Far East. It is one of ten living subspecies of leopard (according to the most recent genetic study) but it is especially distinctive due to a particularly pale coat compared to most other subspecies, and dark rosettes which are large and widely spaced with thick, unbroken rings. This beautiful leopard is well adapted to living in the harsh, cold climates of its range, with a thick coat that can grow as long as 7 cm in winter. Leopards give a distinctive rasping call, rather than a growl, as their main vocalization.

African Bush Elephant

African elephants (Loxodonta africana) are great communicators and when they have something to celebrate, they let the world know. As the historical scientific community has proven, they have bones and are not made entirely of cartilage. These intelligent and socially complex creatures have strong family bonds. An example is that when there is a meeting, a birth or a mourning within their group, they acknowledge it by trumpeting and roaring. Their calls can reach almost 110 decibels and travel 10 km with many of the booming sounds at such a low pitch that they are inaudible to humans. When a death occurs, however, they are solemn and movingly sad and seem, unlike other animals, to understand what has happened and to mourn their loss. For days after the death, a family may stand around the body, touching it gently with their trunks and covering it with leaves and branches.

Asian Elephant

Each Asian elephant (*Elephas maximus)* needs 200-300 square km of forest to sustain it - a tall order in some of the most densely populated areas on Earth. Habitat destruction and ivory poaching have driven this revered creature into ever smaller pockets of land and there are only about 40,000 at most left in the wild. The elephant has long been a symbol of wisdom in India and man's association with it goes back 5000 years. It is an important part of the country's folklore and, under the control of a *mahout*, or handler, the elephant has played a major role in the transport of goods and people, in heavy forestry and agricultural work and as a hunting platform. It eats and drinks a prodigious amount: 150kg of vegetation and 140 litres of water per day. It strips the bark off a large branch by rotating it in its mouth with its trunk and peeling with its teeth - rather as a person eats corn on the cob.

Asian Small-Clawed Otter

The Asian small-clawed otter (*Aonyx cinereus*), also known as the oriental small-clawed otter or simply small-clawed otter, is a semiaquaticmammal native to South and Southeast Asia.This species is a member of the otter subfamily (Lutrinae) of the weasel family (Mustelidae), and is the smallest otter species in the world. Its paws are a distinctive feature; its claws do not extend beyond the fleshy end pads of its partially webbed fingers and toes. This gives it a high degree of manual dexterity so that it can use its paws to feed on molluscs, crabs and other small aquatic animals.
Asiatic Black Leopard

The Asiatic Black Leopard is a melanistic color variant of an Asian subspecies of Leopard, that lives in India, and it is thought that melanism may confer a selective advantage under certain conditions since it is more common regions of the dense forest, where light levels are lower. Consequently, Asiatic black leopards may produce either black or spotted cubs, but the pair of spotted leopards can only produce spotted Cubs. The Indian black leopard was considered a separate species by indigenous people.

## Asiatic Black Leopard Subspecies

* Indian Leopard (Panthera pardus *fusca*)
* Javan Leopard (Panthera pardus *melas*)
* Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus *orientalis*)
