Asian Wild Buffalo

The Asian wild buffalo is a species of buffalo in the family Bovidae.

## Big-horned bovid

The large horns, which project from the sides of the head, extend sideways before curving upward and inward. The largest horns are seen in water buffalo from India and Nepal.

## Wallowing

During the midday heat, Asian wild buffaloes wallow in water or muddy pools, sometimes almost completely submerged, with only their nostrils showing. In addition to keeping them cool, wallowing helps to remove skin parasites, biting flies, and other pests that infest tropical swamps.
Cheetah

The cheetah is a species of cat in the family Felidae.

## Coloration

Desert animals tend to be paler with smaller spots. The "king cheetah" from southeast Africa, has the largest spots, which appear to merge and form stripes on its back.

## Conservation

In Namibia, in order to monitor the effect of wildlife management and livestock protection measures, some cheetahs are caught and fit with radio collars. Following their release, the animal's movements are tracked.
Alligator Snapping Turtle

This formidable animal is the world's freshwater turtle, with a maximum weight reputed to be over 220 lb (100 kg).

## Rough and keeled

The alligator snapping turtle has a rough shell, with 3 jagged keels, and an extra row of scutes on each side.

## Fish lure

During the day, this turtle lies with its jaws open and lures fishes by wiggling a small, pink, wormlike structure on the floor of its mouth. The hooked upper and lower beaks can deliver a powerful bite.
Brown Bear

The brown bear is a species of bear in the family Ursidae.

## Description

This species enjoys the wildest distribution of all bear species and varies widely in size depending on its food and habitat.

## Brown bear subspecies

Several subspecies of brown bears are commonly recognized: grizzly bear, Kodiak bear, Alaskan bear, Eurasian brown bear, Syrian bear, Siberian bear, Manchurian bear, and Hokkaido bear. However, their taxonomy is disputed, and rather than being "true" subspecies, they may simply represent size variations due to disparities in food supply.

### Grizzly bear

This subspecies, *Ursus arctos horribilis*, gets its common name from its "grizzled" coat, the hair being lighter at the tips than at the base.

### Kodiak bear

Weighing up to 1,720 lb (780 kg), the impressive Kodiak bear, *Ursus arctos middendorfi*, is the largest of the subspecies.

### Eurasian brown bear

This bear, *Ursus arctos arctos*, is the smallest member of all the species. Rapid loss of habitat has now restricted it to small pockets of mountain woodland.

## Powerful build

Brown bears are large, powerfully built animals. Although there is little difference in body length between the sexes, males can be up to twice as heavy as females, which have a smaller, lighter frame. Both sexes feed intensively from spring to fall in order to put on weight in preparation for winter sleep.

## Salmon harvest

Brown bears are comfortable in water and may wait for hours at waterfalls or in shallows of a stream ready to dive on their prey. For some populations of brown bears, salmon forms a vital source of protein in the bear's diet. These populations are usually the largest of the species. As spawning salmon swim upstream, the brown bear pounces, delivering a crushing bite with its powerful jaws or a stunning blow from one of its large, clawed paws. Once caught, the fish rarely escape the bear's grasp.

## Aggressive behavior

Due to its power, size, and unpredictable behavior, the brown bear has long been considered a threat to humans and livestock. Grizzly bears evolved in open habitat and may act aggressively when defending themselves, since the have little opportunity to find the safety of any cover. A mother with young cubs is a particularly dangerous animal to encounter. Nevertheless, bears will usually avoid coming into contact with humans.
Giraffe

The giraffe is a species of hoofed mammal in the family Giraffidae.

A native of dry savannas and open woodland, the giraffe browses higher than any other mammal, mainly for leaves of acacia and wild apricot, but also shoots, fruit, and other vegetation.

## Tallest animal

A mature female, such as this northern giraffe, measures 14 3/4 ft (4.5 m) to her horn tips; the male may be 3 ft (1 m) taller. This difference helps the sexes to avoid feeding competition as they utilize different levels. Despite having the longest neck of any animal, they have only 7 neck vertebrae, as in most other animals.

Emerald Tree Boa

Like many members of the boa family--particularly the green tree boa--this striking South American snake is fully adapted for life off the ground.

## Ready to strike

The emerald tree boa typically drapes itself around a branch in a series of concentric coils, waiting, with its head hanging down, ready to strike. This boa feeds on small mammals and birds, and has long teeth that help it to grasp its prey firmly.

## Physical appearance

The 11 subspecies of common garter snakes vary greatly in coloration. Shown here is a vividly striped subspecies *T. s. infernalis*, the San Francisco garter snake.

## Mating patterns

Mating systems vary according to latitude. In the north of the range, males scramble to complete for females, which they often outnumber greatly, as they emerge from hibernation dems. Toward the south, competition is less frenetic.
Common Eland

The common eland is a species of antelope in the family Bovidae.

## White stripes

Common eland are mainly grayish fawn, with a black stripe along the center of the back, and up to 15 whitish cream vertical body stripes.

## Escaping danger

Red-crowned Crane

The red-crowned crane is a species of crane that's the national bird of Japan.

## Courting dances

During courtship, the red-crowned crane performs elaborate dances involving head bobbing, bowing, pirouettes, jumping, and tossing material in the air.

## Conservation

The total population of red-crowned cranes stands at about 2,750 birds. About 1,000 of these live in Japan--a spectacular increase from the 1920s, when numbers dropped to just 20. However, the species is still in danger, particularly during its long migration flights.

## Dancing cranes

Like other members of their family, red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis) are built for ostentatious courtship: long legs for dancing, long wing feathers for display, and an elongated coiled windpipe for amplifying their calls.

Manx Shearwater

This shearwater breeds in the North Atlantic, forming colonies on off shore islands--mainly Skomer and Skokholm off the western coast of Wales, and Rhum in the Outer Hebrides--filling the air with calls that sound like screams and wails.

## Hooked bill

The Manx shearwater has a relatively slender and hooked bill, with which it seizes fish at the water surface. It may swim a few yards underwater to pursue its prey.

## Coloration

Black above and white below, this bird produces a characteristic black, then white flash as it flies over the sea, looking for small schooling fish such as sprat.
Monarch Butterfly

The Monarch Butterfly (*Danaus Plexhippus*) is a genus of a butterfly native to North America, and reintroduced to Australia.

Some of those monarch butterflies travel more than 2,000 miles down south to Mexico. Its caterpillars feed on milkweed plants; a substance these plants makes them unplalatable to predators.
Polar Bear

The polar bear is a species of bear in the family Ursidae.

## Description

Vying with the brown bear as the largest land-based carnivore, the male polar bear can weigh twice as much as a female.

## Not quite white

The polar bear's guard (outer) fur is creamy rather than pure white. Hollow and translucent, the guard hairs transmit the sun's heat internally down to their bases, where it is absorbed by the black skin. The dense underfur and thick blubber (fatty layer) under the skin and insulation.

Greater Glider

Groups of scratch marks on tree trunks betray regular landing sites of the greater glider, the largest gliding marsupial.

## Color phases

The greater glider occurs in 2 color forms or phases, often in the same area. One is charcoal-gray to black, tinged with brown; the other is very pale gray or mottled cream.

## Facing the front

The greater glider's large eyes and huge ears face the front, so it can judge distances accurately by stereoscopic vision and stereoscopic sound. This enables the glider to parachute horizontal distances of more than 330 ft (100 m) at night and yet land precisely on a tree trunk.

Moose

The moose is a species of deer found in the woodlands close to swamps, lakes and other waters.

## Coloration

The moose is brownish gray in summer, grayer in winter. Its paler-hued, long legs have wide hooves for wading in mud and walking on soft snow.

## Moose head

The moose's very broad muzzle and flexible lips help to grasp water plants and to strip leaves from twigs. The male's massive antlers may span 6 1/2 ft. (2 m.); each has up to 20 points, mostly growing from the palm-shaped "beam."
Red Kangaroo

The red kangaroo is a species of kangaroo in the family Macropodidae.

The largest living marsupial, the red kangaroo is found over much of Australia, with the highest numbers living in open woodland savanna.

## Play fighting

When playing or fighting among themselves, kangaroos may stand up and spar, but their normal defense is to deliver a powerful kick.

## In full flight

Fleeing from danger, the red kangaroo bounds on its hind legs. It can reach 30 mph (50 kph) for short periods.

## In mother's pouch

The young spends 7.5 to 8 months in the pouch, before making its first foray outside. It becomes independent when a year old.

## Rufous male

Males, which may be more than double the weight of females, are usually orange-red, while females are blue-gray--although coloration varies.
Northern Cardinal

The northern cardinal is a species of cardinal in the family Cardinalidae.

## Description

Found along woodland edges and in gardens in southern and eastern North America and into Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Bermuda, the northern cardinal measures 9 in (22 cm) in length. The male is bright crimson with a black throat and red bill, and the female is buff-olive. Both sexes deliver a loud, liquid, whistling song.
Northern Raccoon

The northern raccoon is a species of raccoon in the family Procyonidae.

## Coloration

The northern raccoon's long fur varies from pale gray to almost black. The tail has faint dark rings. The ears are short and rounded, and the eyes are small, although the black eye patches make them seem larger.

## Incident

One night at Orlando, Scott Chipman noticed a creature that looked like a cat. He thought it was a cat, but it was a raccoon. The raccoon then hissed at him and ran around the stairs.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

A technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire and expelled from the mouth either as a massive orb of roaring flame or as a continuous flamethrower. The scope of the attack is altered by controlling the volume of chakra that is mustered, and the more chakra utilized firing the technique, the bigger and stronger it becomes. The released flames will engulf their target, and leave a crater in the ground's surface.

Normally, this technique has a maximum range of about 5 meters, but as demonstrated by Nora, the said range can actually be increased to near 10 meters if the chakra used reaches a certain level necessary.

The Uchiha clan, and as of late, various Fire Release users, use this technique as a "*coming of age*" rite, and as such, is a common and favoured technique amongst them.
Sea Lamprey

The sea lamprey is a species of lamprey in the family Petromyzontidae.

## Eel-like body

Both the adult and the larvae of the sea lamprey have eel-like bodies, which are rounded near the head but flattened at the tail.

## Suckers

Sea lampreys have oral discs called "suckers" in place of their mouths. The sucker, which is wider than the fish's body, has a fringed edge and contains very small teeth arranged in concentric rows, with larger teeth surrounding the mouth opening.
Ring-tailed Lemur

The lemur spends more time than its relatives on the ground, even though it is a skilled climber.

This lemur is catlike both in body proportions and graceful movements. The white face has a dark nose and eye patches; the underparts are whitish gray. The distinctive tail is used for visual and scent signaling.
Jackson's Chameleon

With their 3 forward-facing horns, males of this species are among the most distinctive of all chameleons, and at one time were often caught and sold as pets.

## Horns on male

The male Jackson's chameleon has 3 long, pointed, bony horns on the front of his head, used in fights with other males over territory.

## Hornless female

Male and female Jackson's chameleons are easily told apart: the female is usually stockier than the male, and the horns are tiny and absent.

The male has a purple-blue hood and gaudy plumage; the female is bright green above and paler yellow-green below. This bunting is 5 1/2 in (14 cm) long.
Scarlet-chested Sunbird

The scarlet-chested sunbird is a species of sunbird in the family Nectariniidae.

## Description

A dark, sturdy bird with a long, curved bill, the scarlet-chested sunbird is about 6 in (15 cm) long. It is widespread across open woodland and gardens in West, East, and southern Africa. The male has a brilliant scarlet upper breast.
Leopard

The leopard is a species of big cat in the family Felidae.

## Description

Few other wild cats are as varied in appearance or in prey preference as the leopard or have a wider geographical range.

## Head and shoulders

The leopard's large head houses powerful jaw muscles to bite, kill and dismember prey. The shoulders and forelimbs are also heavily muscled, to hold down victims and drag or haul prey into trees.

## Black panther

Like many species of cats and other mammals, leopards may exhibit melanism. As a result of this genetic change (mutation), the skin and fur contain large amounts of the dark pigment, melanin. Most common in moist, dense forests, melanic leopards, known as "black panthers," were once viewed as a separate species. In deserts, leopards are pale yellow; in grass, they are deeper yellow.

## Catching in trees

This leopard is an adapt climber and uses its immense strength to drag its prey up into trees, for immediate consumption or for caching (hiding for future use). In the branches, it can eat undisturbed, and the meat is safe from scavenging hyenas and jackals.
Green Anaconda

The green anaconda is a species of snake in the family Colubridae.

## Giant constrictor

The green anaconda's powerful body is strong enough to asphyxiate animals up to the size of a horse. It often ambushes its victims as they arrive to drink.

## Adapted to water

The green anaconda's eyes and nostrils are positioned toward the top of its head, enabling the snake to see and breathe while partially submerged in water.
