Australian magpie

The **Australian magpie** (*Gymnorhina tibicen*) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Although once considered to be three separate species, it is now considered to be one, with nine recognised subspecies. A member of the Artamidae, the Australian magpie is placed in its own genus *Gymnorhina* and is most closely related to the black butcherbird (*Melloria quoyi*). It is not, however, closely related to the European magpie, which is a corvid.

The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37
to 43 cm (14.5 to 17 in) in length, with distinctive black and white plumage,
 gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill.
The male and female are similar in appearance, and can be distinguished
by differences in back markings. The male has pure white feathers on the
 back of the head and the female has white blending to grey feathers on
the back of the head. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks
rather than waddles or hops and spends much time on the ground.

Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous, with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates.
 It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common
and widespread, it has adapted well to human habitation and is a
familiar bird of parks, gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea.
 This species is commonly fed by households around the country, but in
spring a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become
 aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests.

Over 1000 Australian Magpies were introduced into New Zealand from 1864 to 1874[2] but have subsequently been accused of displacing native birds and are now treated as a pest species.[3] Introductions also occurred in the Solomon Islands and Fiji, where the birds are not considered an invasive species. The Australian magpie is the mascot of several Australian sporting teams, most notably the Collingwood Magpies, the Western Suburbs Magpies and Port Adelaide Magpies.
Arctic hare

The **Arctic hare**[2] (*Lepus arcticus*), or **polar rabbit**, is a species of hare which is highly adapted to living in the Arctic tundra, and other icy biomes. The Arctic hare survives with shortened ears and limbs, a small nose, fat that makes up 20% of its body, and a thick coat of fur. It usually digs holes in the ground or under snow to keep warm and sleep. Arctic hares look like rabbits but have shorter ears, are taller when standing, and, unlike rabbits, can thrive in extreme cold. They can travel together with many other hares, sometimes huddling with dozens or more, but are usually found alone, taking, in some cases, more than one partner. The Arctic hare can run up to 60 kilometres per hour (40 mph).[3]
Armaldo

Armaldo is a bipedal, amphibious Pokémon, somewhat resembling a mantis shrimp. It is covered with thick, grayish-blue plates. There are accents of yellow, black, white, and red throughout its body. Its oblong eyes protrude from the sides of its head. A black pattern with two red, teardrop-shaped spots covered the center of its head and a yellow lower jaw. Three pairs of wing-like appendages extend from the sides of its long, thick neck. A plate of armor on its back has four short spikes and two triangular, yellow-rimmed wings extending from underneath. Its scaled chest and belly are rimmed with yellow lines as well, and there are two large yellow plates in the center of its chest. Its segmented arms extend from holes in these plates, each with a large, black claw. The legs are also segmented, with black knees. A pair of black fins tips its long tail.

In ancient times, Armaldo lived on land by the water's-edge, and dived into the ocean to hunt for prey. The large wings on its back were used for swimming, while its thick shell protected it from enemy attacks. Its strong claws can break stones and punch through a steel slab. Furthermore, they can be freely extended or retracted. It is considered to be the ancestor of some Bug-type Pokémon.
Artemis

**Artemis** (/ˈɑːrtɪmɪs/; Greek: Ἄρτεμις *Artemis*, Attic Greek: [ár.te.mis]) was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities. Her Roman equivalent is Diana.[2] Some scholars[3] believe that the name, and indeed the goddess herself, was originally pre-Greek.[4] Homer refers to her as *Artemis Agrotera, Potnia Theron*: "Artemis of the wildland, Mistress of Animals".[5] The Arcadians believed she was the daughter of Demeter.[6]

In the classical period of Greek mythology, Artemis was often described as the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginityand protector of young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows.[7] The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. In later Hellenistic times, she even assumed the ancient role of Eileithyia in aiding childbirth.
Award Dragon

*Gleaming gold and standing proud, the Award Dragon encapsulates the honor of being a prestigious and well-liked dragon. Appearing only once a year, these dragons fly about and praise other dragons for the hard work they've given to making the Dragon Isles a better place. They particularly look for those who push for the arts and sciences, though any good act will be noticed.*
Arrhinoceratops

***Arrhinoceratops*** (meaning "no nose-horn face", derived from the Ancient Greek **"a-/α-"** "no", **rhis/ῥίς** "nose" **"keras/κέρας"** "horn", **"-ops/ὤψ"** "face") is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur. The name was coined as its original describer concluded it was special because the nose-horn was not a separate bone, however further analysis revealed this was based on a misunderstanding.[1] It lived during the latest Campanian/earliest Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous, predating its famous relative *Triceratops* by a few million years, although it was contemporary with *Anchiceratops*.[1] Its remains have been found in Canada.[1]
Armored Cannon Beetle

The **Armored Cannon Beetle** (フタクチドックリ?, lit.: "Tokkuri Top-Mouth") is the adult stage of an Armored Cannon Larva. The beetle is first discovered during Olimar's first visit to the Pikmin Planet, and is seen again in *Pikmin 2* and *Pikmin 3*, but only on its larval stage. It is a large, black, almost shiny beetle with a thick, rounded shell of armor and a blowhole above its head. It attacks by inhaling through this opening and subsequently firing a rolling rock from its mouth that travels in a straight path, which crushes any small creature in its path, and only stops when it hits a wall or another enemy. To defeat the creature, one must attack its abdomen: attacking other parts of the creature (like its legs) won't damage it.

This enemy is only found in The Forest of Hope, where one is guarding the Radiation Canopy, and The Distant Spring, where one has ingested the Bowsprit. As a side-note, Olimar can destroy the rocks by punching them; this does not work with the rock-producing lithopods in *Pikmin 2*, however. The boulders also do not damage other enemies, but the ones from *Pikmin 2'*s lithopods do.
Armordillo (fantasy forest story)

Armordillos will spend weeks migrating up to high mountainous regions, only to immediately roll down in a high-octane thrill ride of which we can only dream. Armordillos will spend weeks migrating up to high elevation regions, arduously climbing great heights to rest briefly on mountain peaks. Once at the summit, they curl up into small stony spheres and roll down the mountain in a high-octane thrill ride of which we can only dream."
Armadillo girdled lizard

The **armadillo girdled lizard** (*Ouroborus cataphractus*),[2] also commonly known as the **armadillo lizard**, the **golden armadillo lizard**, or the **armadillo spiny-tailed lizard**, is a species of lizard in the family Cordylidae. The species is endemicto desert areas along the western coast of South Africa.[3] In 2011, it was moved to its own genus based on molecular phylogeny, but formerly it was included in the genus *Cordylus*.[2][4]
Attack Cruiser (Transformers)

The **Attack Cruiser** is an Action Master vehicle. The weapon systems were rebuilt by Sprocket, its primary driver. As an all-terrain car, it boasts an impressive arsenal including two photon rifles, magnetic rockets able to immobilize metallic targets, and defensive bumper energy shields. When it converts to its vector-thrust hovercopter mode, it's armed with twin front-mounted plasma-pulse machine guns.
Beast Dragon

*A relentlessly rough and rude creature, the Beast Dragon was long ago put under a spell by the Cursed Rose Dragon that changed its appearance to match its personality. To break free of the curse, the Beast Dragon will have to prove that he is worth loving and will to capture the heart of true beauty to once again live free and peacefully among other dragons.*
Bald parrot

The **bald parrot** (*Pyrilia aurantiocephala*) or **orange-headed parrot** is a species of parrot in the family Psittacidae. It was formerly placed in the genus*Pionopsitta*, which is now monotypic. It is endemic to the east-central Amazon of Brazil. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is considered near threatened by BirdLife International (and consequently IUCN) due to the widespread deforestation of the Amazon.

This parrot was initially believed to be a juvenile of the vulturine parrot due to the orange coloration of its bald head as opposed to the black of the vulturine. However, when it was discovered that the individuals were sexually mature, they were described as a new species.[2] In reality, juveniles of both species have feathered, greenish heads quite unlike those of the adults.
Atractaspis aterrima

***Atractaspis aterrima***, commonly known as the **slender burrowing asp** or **mole viper**, is a species of fossorial, venomous snake in the family Atractaspididae.[2][3][4] The specific epithet, *aterrima*, meaning "blackest", is the superlative form of the Latin adjective *ater*, meaning "black".[5]
Barnstorm

**Barnstorm** is a skilled aerial combatant, surprising friends and foes with his acrobatic stunts, and is an ingenious raid-planner. Unfortunately, his way of speaking is archaic, which sometimes can cause people to not realize what he's saying until it's too late. He serves with Flashdrive and Bingo in the Elite Flying Corps.

Unfortunately, Unicron turned him into the evil **Saber** (セイバー *Seibā*).
BeoWolfmon

**BeoWolfmon** is a Warrior Digimon. It possesses power over Light that has transcended legend by inheriting all the might of AncientGarurumon and acquiring unknown abilities. It is a strong-armed warrior that possesses both the wildness of a beast and the intelligence of a human, and can easily swing down its double-bladed greatsword "Beo Saber" (*Trinität*, Deu: Trinity) with one hand. In battle, it coolly sizes up the situation and fights without getting heated up, but it believes in the way of the warrior, of fighting for its comrades and challenging strong opponents. It has the "Roland 2" missile pod on its left hand for use in long-range combat, and specializes in both long-range and short-range combat.
Axelerator

The **Axelerators** are an Autobot subgroup whose members' engines become their gun in robot mode. They are the counterparts to the Decepticon subgroup the Skyscorchers.

They're really heroic.

Members include:

* Rapido the charismatic platoon leader
* Skram the carefree thrill-seeker
* Turbofire the backup
* Windbreaker the scout
Bighorn

Any Predacon who has ever encountered **Bighorn** (ビッグホーン *Bigguhōn*) on the battlefield will tell you that he's a violent, furious, rampaging brute who will positively *demolish* any foe foolish enough to get caught in his path of destruction. Bighorn has a short temper and can be easily goaded into a fight, be it against the Predacons or against any Maximal who mouths off to him. His special attacks, including the ability to summon lightning from the sky and the ability to launch a devastating missile from his mouth, lay waste to all those around him... including his friends. This blind fury in battle often makes Bighorn as much a liability as an asset to the Maximal cause.

And yet, there's *more* to Bighorn than just the unstoppable killing machine. *So much more*. Beneath the slobbering exterior beats the spark of a poet, a naturalist, a *lover*. Though not a fan of downtime, when a little RnR does come his way, Bighorn is likely to spend it sniffing flowers, contemplating verse or penning love letters to the Seacon Scylla (who won't even give him the time of day).
Battle Bear (Beastformer)

Born at Gun Marino Plateau, **Battle Bear** (バトルベア *Batorubea*) is one of the many anthropomorphic bears on the planet Beast who lived in happiness with their families until Galvatron and his Decepticons invaded their world, raising an insurgent army of cold-blooded Beastformers. As the Decepticons conquered the planet, Battle Bear joined White Leo's resistance army, becoming a mountains and forest combatant, and in battle he wields the Great Battle MVP Weapon that can cleave even the most giant of rocks. He hates technology and believes in living in harmony with the environment, and seeks to someday create a nation that is one with nature. He also holds the rank of Emperor of Saitan, under King Big Serow, and the two fight particularly well together. It's not known if Battle Bear had a different name before the war, though some do simply call him **Bear** (ベア *Bea*).
Blind shark

The **blind shark** (*Brachaelurus waddi*) is one of two species of carpet sharks in the family Brachaeluridae, along with the bluegrey carpetshark (*Brachaelurus colcloughi*). Found along the coast of eastern Australia, this nocturnal, bottom-dwelling species is common in rocky areas and seagrass beds from the intertidal zone to a depth of 140 m (460 ft). It often roams in tidal pools where it may be trapped by the receding tide, and can survive for an extended period out of water. The blind shark is not actually blind; its common name came from its habit of closing its eyes when taken out of the water.

Maturing at under 62–66 cm (24–26 in) long, the blind shark has a stocky, grayish to brownish body with white flecks and darker bands that fade with age. Its head is wide, flattened, and blunt, with small eyes on top and a pair of long barbels underneath. It has large pectoral fins, two nearly equal-sized dorsal fins placed far back on the body, and an anal fin placed close to the caudal fin. The blind shark feeds primarily on small invertebrates and bony fishes. It is aplacental viviparous with females bearing litters of 7–8 pups in the summer. This small shark adapts readily to being kept in captivity. It is not valued by either commercial or recreational fishers, and its hardiness means that incidentally caught individuals are likely to be returned to the water alive. In the absence of substantial threats to its population, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as of Least Concern.
Birdramon

**Birdramon** is a Giant Bird Digimon. It has an appearance shrouded in blazing flames. Just like Meramon, it is a Digimon that was generated from the Internet's defensive "Firewall". It flaps its gigantic wings, and flies about the sky. Although its personality is in no way combative, it unleashes counterattacks against attacking enemies to a furious degree.[8]
Avitabatrachus uliana

***Avitabatrachus uliana*** is the single species in the extinct genus ***Avitabatrachus***, a genus of prehistoric frogs that lived in the Middle Cretaceous. Fossils of *A. uliana* were found in north-west Patagonia in Argentina. It was properly described in 2000 and was then concluded to be most closely related to Pipidae frogs and hence was included in Pipimorpha.[1]
Black giant squirrel

The **black giant squirrel** or **Malayan giant squirrel** (*Ratufa bicolor*) is a large tree squirrel in the genus *Ratufa* native to the Indomalayan zootope. It is found in forests from northern Bangladesh, northeast India, eastern Nepal, Bhutan, southern China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and western Indonesia.
Basilisk (fantasy forest story)

*"If you ever come face to face with the Basilisk it is recommended that you run away as fast as you can. The Basilisk is not an animal to be messed with. It has a very short temper, poisonous fangs and abilities based in dark magic. Many of the students at the Sorcerer's School feel that the Basilisk is just a myth, but, in reality, it can be summoned with the correct spell known only to a few of the most powerful magic users."*
Bearmon

**Bearmon** is a Mammal Digimon. It wears its trademark baseball cap backwards. Although it is a little timid at first, it immediately becomes bosom buddies with other Digimon. However, once it begins to battle, with the uncommon physical strength and will-power it possesses—to continue battling no matter what kind of attack it suffers—it becomes a very reliable being. The ability for close combat hidden within its body is very strong, to the point that it bound its fists in leather belts so that its special punches wouldn't hurt itself.[6]
Banded flying snake

The **twin-barred tree snake**[3] (*Chrysopelea pelias*) is a species of snake found in Southeast Asia. It is also called the **banded flying snake**. It can glide, as with all species of its genus *Chrysopelea*, by stretching the body into a flattened strip using its ribs. It is mostly found in moist forests and can cover a horizontal distance of about 100 metres in a glide from the top of a tree. It is an oviparous snake.

*Chrysopelea pelias* has an overlapping range with the paradise tree snake (*Chrysopelea paradisi*) in Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo and Indonesia. However, *Chrysopelea pelias* is not nearly as common as the paradise tree snake.[4]
Berry Jars 'N' Jam

**Berry Jars 'N' Jam** is Lalaloopsy Land's best provider of homemade jam and berry pancakes. She's a hard worker, who's a bit nosy, and makes the highest stacks of buttermilk pancakes in town. Berry is the twin sister of Sunny Side Up. Her name is based off of her love for berries that she makes into the best jars of jam for her friends.
Astalos

the astalos is a flying wyvern that is also *Known as the "Thunder Wyvern," Astalos can charge itself with electricity from the furious movements of its wings, tail and crest. In its charged state, the membrane in its wings take on a beautiful glow that only barely offsets the terrible nature of this monster.*
Behemotops

***Behemotops*** (from the Biblical monster Behemoth, by Linnaeus and others believed to be a hippo)[2] is an extinct genus of herbivorous marine mammal. It lived from the Early Oligocene (Rupelian) through the Late Oligocene (33.9 mya—23 Mya), existing for approximately 10.9 million years. It is the most primitive known desmostylian, believed to be close to the ancestry of all other desmostylians.
Berp

Berp is a muncho mixel who is walking food blender! Although this fast-talker always has somewhere else to be and something else to do, Berp will always find time to eat. Luckily for this greedy Munchos tribe member, those 4 rotating arms are great for juggling lots of food at once and slam-dunking it into his big, opening mouth!

He loves to juggle and acts like a bit of a show-off.
Black bushbird

The **black bushbird** (*Neoctantes niger*) is a species of insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. It is monotypic within the genus ***Neoctantes***.[2] It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.[1]

The black bushbird was described by the Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln in 1859 and given the binomial name *Xenops niger*.[3] The current genus *Neoctantes* was erected by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1869.[4]
Black-capped becard

The **black-capped becard** (*Pachyramphus marginatus*) is a species of bird in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in Cotingidae or Tyrannidae, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where now placed by SACC. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
Bilge (MD)

The Aqua Raider Team are all dirty pirates...and **Bilge** (ビルジ *Biruji*) is the dirtiest one of them all. The Team leader, Bilge has the swagger, the ruthlessness, even the vocal patterns of the bandits of Earth's seas. He delights in the cruelty of his mission, gleefully serving the will of his master Unicron.
Bicentennial Dragon

*Rumored to only appear every great few ages, the bicentennial dragons are among the rarest dragons ever seen by witches and wizards. On a chance encounter at the Garita volcano, the witch Komoria was suprised to find the bicentennial dragons following her back to the Vale. Darting in flight with their dual pairs of wings, these dragons rarely stay on the ground for long. Be sure to breed one before they return to the skies!*
Bigeye thresher

The **bigeye thresher** (*Alopias superciliosus*) is a species of thresher shark, family Alopiidae, found in temperate and tropical oceans worldwide. Like other thresher sharks, nearly half its total length consists of the elongated upper lobe of the tail fin. Its common name comes from its enormous eyes, which are placed in keyhole-shaped sockets that allow them to be rotated upward. This species can also be distinguished by a pair of deep grooves on the top of its head, from which its scientific name is derived.

The large eyes of the bigeye thresher are adapted for hunting in low light conditions. It is one of the few sharks that conduct a diel vertical migration, staying in deep water during the day and moving into surface waters at night to feed. To protect its sensitive brain and eyes from the temperature changes accompanying these movements, the bigeye thresher has a vascular exchange system called the rete mirabile around those organs. This species feeds mainly on fish and squid, which are stunned via whip-like strikes of the long tail. Bigeye threshers are ovoviviparous, usually bearing litters of two pups. The embryos are oophagous and feed on ova produced by the mother while inside the uterus. This shark is caught by commercial fisheries across its range; the meat is not highly regarded but the skin, fins, and liver oil are valued. It has been assessed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Ba-Boom

**Ba-Boom, the Boisterous** is the third boss in the game *Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze*. He is the boss of Bright Savannah, appearing in the level **Triple Trouble**. Before the battle, the Kongs notice a Banana Bunch in the air by a wooden pole. As they try to grab it, Ba-Boom slyly snatches the bunch. He then splits into three, all of whom promptly mock the Kongs, angering them.
Bella the Bunny Fairy

*Bella takes care of Misty, the magic pet bunny. Misty has been known to change color whenever she wants, from brown and white, to pink, or golden yellow, or even brilliant blue! Bella's hobby is creating elaborately decorated Easter eggs. Her fairy magic is made up of green and gold sparkles.*
Bella is a bit of a 'beach bunny'. She often surfs through the sky on a green oak leaf. She's fond of carrots, and her eyesight is amazing.
Black-capped foliage-gleaner

The **black-capped foliage-gleaner** (*Philydor atricapillus*) is a species of bird in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. The species is very closely related to the Alagoas foliage-gleaner and forms a superspecies with it. It is found in eastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and far northeastern Argentina. They inhabit lowland rainforest and secondary forest from sea-level to 1,050 m (3,440 ft), and is not migratory.[2]

The black-capped foliage-gleaners is 16 to 17 cm (6.3–6.7 in) and weighs 17–27 g (0.60–0.95 oz). It has striking plumage for a foliage-gleaner, with a mostly rufous body and a black cap, and black and buff stripes through the eyes. The sexes are alike.[2]

It feeds on arthropods, preferring caterpillars and to a lesser extent beetles, but also takes flies, spiders, grasshoppers, true bugs, centipedes, and cockroaches. It feeds singly, in pairs or in mixed species feeding-flocks, and takes prey from dead leaves from the forest-floor to the canopy. Almost nothing is known about its breeding behaviour, beyond its nest being reported to being in a hole in a dirt bank.[2]

The species is not considered threatened. Its range has decreased due to deforestation, but it is able to persist in small fragments of habitat.[2]
Barred antshrike

The **barred antshrike** (*Thamnophilus doliatus*) is a passerine bird in the antbird family. It is found in the Neotropics from Tamaulipas, Mexico, through Central America, Trinidad and Tobago, and a large part of South America east of the Andes as far south as northern Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. There is one accepted record from southern Texas.[2] It is found in a wide range of wooded habitats (even gardens and parks) in both humid and arid regions. Throughout a large part of its range, it is among the most common antbirds.
Black Turtle (Beastformer)

**Black Turtle** (ブラックタートル *Burakkutātoru*), nickname **Blacky** (ブラッキー *Burakkī*), is one of the many Beastformers who joined the insurgent army under Alligatron raised by Galvatron in order to aid his Decepticons in conquering the formerly-peaceful planet Beast. His role in the Decepticon-allied Beastformer forces is amphibious infantry. When his arms and legs are drawn in, he can withstand even a missile attack. However, being a turtle he is slow on land. Using his MVP Weapon, the Black Spark, he can fire one million volt electric blasts.

Black Turtle is known for his patience and ability to endure hardship for long periods of time with no sign of distress, and woe be to those who cause that patience to run dry: when Black Turtle does lose his composure, he explodes into an uncontrollable state of rage. Because of this, he can be a cruel person and is known to pick on fellow soldier Badshark. Black Turtle holds the rank of Emperor of Halas Island, where he was born, under King Bonga who unfortunately chose the opposite side in the war. They are normally close friends during peacetime, with Bonga being the only one who can calm Black Turtle during his moments of rage.
Beipiaosaurus

***Beipiaosaurus*** /ˌbeɪpjaʊˈsɔːrəs/ is a genus of therizinosauroid theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of China. Before the discovery of *Yutyrannus*, it was among the largest dinosaurs known from direct evidence to be feathered.

The exact classification of therizinosaurs had in the past been hotly debated, since their prosauropod-like teeth and body structure indicate that they were generally herbivorous, unlike typical theropods. *Beipiaosaurus*, being considered to be a primitive therizinosauroid, has features which suggest that all therizinosauroids, including the more derived Therizinosauridae, to be coelurosaurian theropods, not sauropodomorph or ornithischian relatives as once believed.
Black-necked aracari

The **black-necked aracari** (US: /ˌɑːrəˈsɑːri/ *AHR-ə-SAHR-ee*,[2] UK: /ˌɑːrəˈsɑːri/ *ARR-ə-SAHR-ee* or /ˌɑːrəˈkɑːri/ *ARR-ə-KAHR-ee*),[3] or **black-necked araçari**(*Pteroglossus aracari*), is a species of bird in the toucan family. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Basin tree frog

The **basin tree frog** (*Hypsiboas lanciformis*) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, rivers, freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forests.
Bashmaster

**Bashmaster**, referred to as **Bashmaster, the Unbreakable**, is the boss of Juicy Jungle in *Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze*. His level is called **Punch Bowl**. Bashmaster is first seen on a large ice platform, lying down carefree and licking a popsicle. However, after the Kongs sudden arrival makes him accidentally drop it into the water where it is eaten by fish, the angry Bashmaster challenges them into a battle.
Basilisk

In European bestiaries and legends, a **basilisk** (/ˈbæsɪlɪsk/ or /ˈbæzɪlɪsk/,[1] from the Greek βασιλίσκος *basilískos*, "little king"; Latin *regulus*) is a legendary reptile reputed to be King of serpents and said to have the power to cause death with a single glance. According to the *Naturalis Historia* of Pliny the Elder, the basilisk of Cyrene is a small snake, "being not more than twelve fingers in length",[2] that is so venomous, it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze is likewise lethal. Its weakness is the odour of the weasel, which, according to Pliny, was thrown into the basilisk's hole, recognizable because some of the surrounding shrubs and grass had been scorched by its presence. It is possible that the legend of the basilisk and its association with the weasel in Europe was inspired by accounts of certain species of Asiatic snakes (such as the king cobra) and their natural predator, the mongoose.
Aurora Dragon

*On a stargazing expedition to the far side of the world, the witch Zoria looked up to the sky one night and it dawned on her that something was very different. What originally appeared to be a wisp of cloud against the night sky very quickly drew into view as an aurora dragon! Though these dragons are a rare observance, they love to show off their luminescent colors to any wizard, witch, and visitor alike!*
Beetlemon

**Beetlemon** is an Android Digimon. It possesses power over Thunder which bears the might of AncientBeetlemon. Its keen movements, unbecoming of its large build, are a technique to form a high voltage current running throughout its body. It generates a special magnetic field that produces an anti-gravitystate in its vicinity, and is capable of high-speed movement. Its overflowing thunder power comes out as sparks from various parts of its body, and although Beetlemon looks mechanical, its personality is, in contrast, expressive and human. Its language is trollish, but it additionally conveys excess warmth. In battle, its underwater mobility is weak due to the nature of its wrestler-like style.
Barred forest falcon

The **barred forest falcon** (*Micrastur ruficollis*) is a species of bird of prey in the Falconidae family which includes the falcons, caracaras, and their relatives. It occurs throughout most of tropical and subtropical Latin America, except the arid Pacific coast in South America, northern and western Mexico, and the Antilles.
Basilisk (rodeo stampede)

The Basilisk has a teal body, with a frill running down its body, with orange spikes and light teal membranes. Its lower section is coloured orange fading into red. Its head features a red comb, like a rooster's, a wattle just in front of each eye and a lighter orange beak. Submerged slightly in the ground are four legs, each coloured red fading into orange.
Bipartibison

"Known as a peacekeeper, the Bipartibison helps relieve any tension between disputing animals. Often seen as the voice of reason, it has the ability to bring animals together to resolve any conflicts and reach a common goal. The Bipartibison is an essential animal to have around the Forest to help keep the peace."
Black-capped piprites

The **black-capped piprites** (*Piprites pileata*), also known as the **black-capped manakin**, is a species of suboscinepasserine. It has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, although it remains unclear if this is correct. It is therefore considered *incertae sedis* by recent authorities such as SACC.[2]

It is found in Atlantic forest, especially with *Araucaria angustifolia*, growing in highlands of south-eastern Brazil and north-eastern Argentina (Misiones only). Until the recent rediscovery in Argentina, the only confirmed record for that country was a specimen taken in 1959. It is generally rare and local, and therefore considered vulnerable by BirdLife International. It is known from a number of protected areas, including the Itatiaia National Park in Rio de Janeiro, and Campos do Jordão State Park in São Paulo.
Beehind

The Beehind is a hind that looks like a bee. It has brown antennae with lighter brown bulbs on the end, a yellow head, and comparatively small oval-shaped yellow-tinted wings decorated with a floating irregular hexagon pattern. Brown is its main body colour, and the colour of its legs, with a darker variant colouring its hooves. It has a rear end that is large and bulbous, unlike other hinds, coloured with brown and yellow stripes characteristic of a bee and ending in a small point, representing a stinger.
Bermuda night heron

The **Bermuda night heron** (*Nyctanassa carcinocatactes*) is an extinct heron species from Bermuda. It is sometimes assigned to the genus *Nycticorax*. It was first described in 2006 by Storrs L. Olson and David B. Wingate from subfossil material found in the Pleistocene and Holocene deposits in caves and ponds of Bermuda. Its anatomy was rather similar to its living relative, the yellow-crowned night heron (*N. violacea*), but it had a heavier bill, a more massive skull and more robust hind limbs. The specialization of the bill and the hind limbs showed that it was apparently adapted to the feeding on land crabs. There are also early historian reports referring to that species. It possibly became extinct due to the settlement of the Bermuda islands in the 17th century.
Bearded saki

The **bearded sakis**, or **cuxiús**[2] are five species of New World monkeys, classified in the genus ***Chiropotes***. They live in the eastern and central Amazon in South America, ranging through southern Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and northern and central Brazil. The five species are entirely allopatric, their distributions being separated by major rivers.

Bearded sakis differ from the closely related saki monkeys of the genus *Pithecia* by a pronounced beard, a tuft of hair that extends from its jaw, down its throat to the top of its chest, and is strongly pronounced particularly in the males. The tail is long and hairy, and is used for balance and not grasping. Bearded sakis reach from 32 to 51 cm in size and a weigh from 2 to 4 kg.

Like many New World monkeys, bearded sakis are diurnal and arboreal. They inhabit tropical rainforests, usually in the crowns of tree. They move on all four by the branches, spending most of the day searching for food. At the night they sleep clasped to thicker branches, never spending successive nights in the same tree. Bearded sakis live together in groups of approximately 18 to 30 animals. Within the group they communicate with bird-like twitter and high whistles. Sometimes they mingle with other primates such as capuchin and squirrel monkeys.

Fruits form the main part of the diet of the bearded sakis, but they also eat nuts, buds, leaves, insects and small vertebrates.

Once a year (usually in early autumn or late summer) the female bears a single offspring after a 5-month gestation. After about three months it begins to explore its environment independently and on it is briefly cured. Bearded sakis reach full maturity at 4 years of age. Their life expectancy is approximately 15 years.

Bearded sakis are highly sensitive to hunting and habitat destruction. Consequently, three of the four species recognized by IUCN (they do not recognize *C. israelita*) are considered threatened, ranging from endangered for *C. albinasus* and *C. utahickae*, to critically endangered for *C. satanas.*[3]
Archaeopteryx

***Archaeopteryx (/ˌɑːrkiːˈɒptərɪks/)***, meaning "first wing" (sometimes referred to by its German name ''***Urvogel''*** ("original bird" or "first bird")), is a genus of bird-like dinosaurs that is transitional between non-avian feathered dinosaurs and modern birds. The name derives from the ancient Greek ἀρχαῖος (*archaīos*) meaning "ancient", and πτέρυξ (*ptéryx*), meaning "feather" or "wing". Between the late nineteenth century and the early twenty-first century, *Archaeopteryx* had been generally accepted by palaeontologists and popular reference books as the oldest known bird (member of the group Avialae).[2] Older potential avialans have since been identified, including *Anchiornis*, *Xiaotingia*, and *Aurornis*.[3]

*Archaeopteryx* lived in the Late Jurassic around 150 million years ago, in what is now southern Germany during a time when Europe was an archipelago of islands in a shallow warm tropical sea, much closer to the equator than it is now. Similar in size to a Eurasian magpie, with the largest individuals possibly attaining the size of a raven,[4] the largest species of *Archaeopteryx* could grow to about 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) in length. Despite their small size, broad wings, and inferred ability to fly or glide, *Archaeopteryx* had more in common with other small Mesozoicdinosaurs than with modern birds. In particular, they shared the following features with the dromaeosaurids and troodontids: jaws with sharp teeth, three fingers with claws, a long bony tail, hyperextensible second toes ("killing claw"), feathers (which also suggest warm-bloodedness), and various features of the skeleton.[5][6]

These features make *Archaeopteryx* a clear candidate for a transitional fossil between non-avian dinosaurs and birds.[7][8] Thus, *Archaeopteryx* plays an important role, not only in the study of the origin of birds, but in the study of dinosaurs. It was named from a single feather in 1861.[9] That same year, the first complete specimen of *Archaeopteryx* was announced. Over the years, ten more fossils of *Archaeopteryx* have surfaced. Despite variation among these fossils, most experts regard all the remains that have been discovered as belonging to a single species, although this is still debated.

Most of these eleven fossils include impressions of feathers. Because these feathers are of an advanced form (flight feathers), these fossils are evidence that the evolution of feathers began before the Late Jurassic.[10] The type specimen of *Archaeopteryx* was discovered just two years after Charles Darwin published *On the Origin of Species*. *Archaeopteryx* seemed to confirm Darwin's theories and has since become a key piece of evidence for the origin of birds, the transitional fossils debate, and confirmation of evolution.
Black-chinned antbird

The **black-chinned antbird** (*Hypocnemoides melanopogon*) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical swamps.

The black-chinned antbird was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1857 and given the binomial name *Hypocnemis melanopogon*.[2]
Bare-faced curassow

The **bare-faced curassow** (*Crax fasciolata*) is a species of bird in the family Cracidae, the chachalacas, guans, curassows, etc. It is found in eastern-central and southern Brazil, Paraguay, and eastern Bolivia, and extreme northeast Argentina, in the cerrado, pantanal, and the southeastern region of the Amazon basin. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
Beachcomber (Energon)

Always vigilant, **Beachcomber** keeps his optics and audio receptors on full alert while on his usual guard duty for any signs of Decepticon activity... and for any opportunity to crack a bad joke. Fellow Autobots might have to suffer the occasional lousy pun (is there any other kind?), but Decepticons get the puns AND missiles in the face. Night or day, Beachcomber is ready.
Black-banded sea krait

The **black-banded sea krait**, or **Chinese sea snake** (*Laticauda semifasciata*), known in Japan as *erabu umi hebi* (ja:エラブウミヘビ), and Okinawa as the *irabu*, is a member of the *Laticauda* genus of sea snakes. It is found in most of the warm waters of the western Pacific Ocean.

This high snake frequents coral reef areas. It has a short head, thick trunk, and no easily discernible neck. The tail is simply extended skin, spread wide like a fin, and unsupported by any projection. The stomach is comparatively wide. Massing together near the shore, they breed between narrow cracks in the reef and in caves. It is a nocturnal snake, rarely seen during the day. It breathes air, so breaks the surface at least once every six hours.

It is too slow to catch fish in a straight chase, so it hunts for fish hiding in the coral. Alternately, gathering in the hundreds, black-banded sea kraits form hunting alliances with yellow goatfish and bluefin trevally, flushing potential prey from narrow crannies in a reef the same way some moray eels do.[2][3] The bite is highly venomous and paralyzes the prey. Females lay their eggs on land.

Generally, the species is found in Fiji, southern Japan and Singapore. Their venom is ten times stronger than that of a cobra, making them extremely dangerous. Fortunately, this snake does not bite humans unless it feels threatened.

The erabu snake is a winter staple in southern Japan, where it is believed to replenish a female's womanhood. Irabu soup *irabu-jiru* (ja:イラブー汁)[4] is said to taste like miso and a bit like tuna. This soup was a part of the royal court cuisine of Ryukyu Kingdom; it is thought to have analeptic properties.
Big Bad Wolf (rodeo stampede)

The Big Bad Wolf's primary colour is brown. The Big Bad Wolf has a similar colour pattern to the Gray Wolf, with a darker shade of brown in the centre of its back, although its legs are reversed, with its upper leg being light and its feet being dark. Its other distinguishing feature is its horns, which have two prongs each.
Bentonyx

***Bentonyx*** (meaning "Michael J. Bentons' claw") is an extinct genus of rhynchosaur from the middle Triassic epoch of Devon in England.[1] Its fossil, a well preserved skull, BRSUG 27200, was discovered in Otter Sandstone Formation (late Anisian age) and was first assigned to *Rhynchosaurus spenceri*, that is known from 25 specimens. This species was reassigned to its own genus, *Fodonyx*, that described by David W. E. Hone and Michael J. Benton in 2008.[2] More recently, this skull was reassigned to this genus by Max C. Langer, Felipe C. Montefeltro, David E. Hone, Robin Whatley and Cesar L. Schultz in 2010 and the type species is *Bentonyx sidensis*.[1]
Bismuth Dragon

*The Wizard Dayleeon sought the Fountain of Youth not only to cure the infirmities of old age, but also to banish the constant stomach pains that plagued him. It was eventually discovered that the Fountain's properties only applied to dragons, but Dayleeon found something much more valuable during his adventure: the bismuth dragon. This crystalline dragon's geometric adornments project a soothing aura that can cure the most upset of tummies. This dragon cannot breed at this time.*
Beastmon

**Beastmon** is an Animal Digimon. It loves to be showy and has a sly personality, and its specialty is using its charmingly sparkling eyes and the jewels worn all over its body to bewitch the opponent, allowing it to manipulate them as it desires. Generally, if one becomes the victim of Beastmon's glamour, they are completely eviscerated. Although it excels in nimbleness with its flexible movements, it is also powerful despite its appearance, and the claws on its hands are sharp enough to cut even a rock to pieces. It is said to be at loggerheads with Nefertimon, who is an avatar of light.[4]
Bayonet

A **bayonet** (from French *baïonnette*) is a bladed weapon similar to a knife or short sword, or spike-shaped weapon designed to fit in, on, over or underneath the muzzle of a rifle, musket or similar firearm, augmenting the firearm to allow use as a pike.[1] Starting in the 17th century, it was a weapon of primary importance for infantry attacks, even up to World War II, but more a weapon of last resort since then. In this regard, it is an ancillary close-quarter combat weapon. When detached from the gun barrel, knife-like bayonets have long been utilized by soldiers in the field as a general-purpose survival knife. Some modern bayonets, such as the one used on the British SA80 assault rifle and the one used on the AK47, are designed to be wire cutters when combined with their scabbards.
Battle of al-Babein

The **Battle of al-Babein** took place on March 18, 1167, during the third Crusader invasion of Egypt. King Amalric I of Jerusalem, and a Zengid army under Shirkuh, both hoped to take the control of Egypt over from the Fatimid Caliphate. Saladin served as Shirkuh’s highest-ranking officer in the battle. The result was a tactical draw between the forces.
Bicolored conebill

The **bicolored conebill** (*Conirostrum bicolor*) is a small passerine bird. This member of the tanager family is a resident breeder in South America from Colombia, Venezuela and Trinidad south and east to the Guianas, northeast Peru and Brazil.

Its habitat is coastal mangrove swamps and neighbouring woodlands. The small feather-lined cup nest is built in a mangrove tree, and the normal clutch is two brown-blotched buff eggs. Nests are often parasitised by shiny cowbirds.

The bicolored conebill is 11.4 cm long and weighs 11 g. The adult is grey-blue above and buff-tinged grey below, with red eyes, pink legs and a sharp, pointed bill. The primary flight feathers are bluish with brown edgings. The sexes are similar, although the female may be a little duller, but immature birds are greenish above and have pale yellow underparts. Birds sometimes breed in immature plumage.

These warbler-like birds eat mainly insects and occasionally seeds. The bicolored conebill's call is a thin *tseep*.
Black jacobin

The **black jacobin** (*Florisuga fusca*), previously placed in the monotypic ***Melanotrochilus***, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in or near the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil, Uruguay, eastern Paraguay, and far north-eastern Argentina. It is generally common, and therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and consequently the IUCN. Adults of both sexes are overall black with green-tinged back and wing-coverts, and white lower flanks and outer rectrices. The white in the tail is often flashed conspicuously in flight. The commonly seen immatures, sometimes incorrectly referred to as "females", have a distinctive rufous patch in the malar region.
Blepharopsis mendica

***Blepharopsis mendica*** is a species of praying mantis found in North Africa, parts of the Mediterranean, Middle East and southern Asia, and on the Canary Islands. **devil's flower mantis**, **Egyptian flower mantis**, **thistle mantis**, and **Arab mantis** are among its common names.

In deimatic display, the adult rotates its head and thorax to one side, displaying the bright colours on the insides of its forelegs and the undersides of its hindwings, and holds its wings slightly spread behind the body, making it seem large and threatening.
