Eland

An eland

The **eland** (Taurotragus derbianus) is an animal in Odd Squad Animal Movie. It is a vulnerable and herbivorous species of ungulate native to grasslands in Africa.

## Biology

### Classification

The eland is a species of ungulate belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Artiodactyla, family Bovidae, subfamily Bovinae, genus Taurotragus, and species T. derbianus. The eland is recognized for its imposing size, distinctive spiral horns, and majestic presence, making it a notable species in the African savannas.

### Scientific name

The scientific name Taurotragus derbianus has roots in Greek and Latin. "Taurotragus" combines "tauros" (bull) and "tragos" (he-goat), reflecting the bovid characteristics of it. "Derbianus" honors Sir Edward Derby, a British governor of Sierra Leone during the 19th century. Thus, the scientific name pays homage to both its physical traits and historical associations.

### Range

The eland is native to the grasslands of Africa, with its range extending across several countries on the continent. Historically, its habitat covered regions from Senegal in West Africa to South Sudan in the east. However, due to habitat fragmentation and human activities, the eland's current distribution is more limited.

### Habitat

Elands thrive in diverse habitats, including savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands. They are well-adapted to a variety of ecosystems and are known for their ability to cover long distances in search of water and suitable grazing grounds. They are often found in areas where there is a mix of open spaces and sufficient vegetation.

### Diet

As herbivores, elands primarily graze on grasses, supplemented with leaves and branches from shrubs and trees. Their diet is adapted to the seasonal availability of vegetation in their habitats. The ability to consume a variety of plant materials allows elands to adapt to changing environmental conditions and sustain their populations.

### Status

The eland is currently classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. This status indicates a high risk of endangerment in the wild due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching, and competition with livestock for resources. Conservation efforts are focused on preserving their remaining habitats, addressing human-wildlife conflict, and implementing measures to curb illegal hunting.

Their ability to adapt to different wetland environments showcases their versatility and resilience.

### Diet

As piscivores, ibises primarily feed on small fish, crustaceans, and aquatic invertebrates. Their long, slender bills and specialized feeding techniques allow them to efficiently capture prey in shallow waters. The vibrant coloration of their plumage is attributed to the pigments present in the crustaceans they consume, particularly those rich in carotenoids.

### Status

The ibis is currently classified as a species of Least Concern (LC) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Despite being exposed to potential threats such as habitat loss and human disturbance, their widespread distribution and stable populations contribute to their current conservation status. Monitoring and conservation efforts focus on protecting their coastal habitats and ensuring sustainable wetland management.

The **dolphin** (Tursiops truncatus) is an animal in Odd Squad Animal Movie. It is a least-concern and piscivorous species of cetacean native to oceans worldwide except the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans.

## Biology

### Classification

The dolphin is a piscivorous species of cetacean, belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Artiodactyla, infraorder Cetacea, family Delphinidae, genus Tursiops, and species T. truncatus. Known for their remarkable intelligence and social behaviors, dolphins are charismatic marine mammals that capture the fascination of people worldwide.

### Scientific name

The scientific name "Tursiops truncatus" combines "Tursiops," derived from the Greek words "tursio" meaning "dolphin" and "ops" meaning "face," with "truncatus" referring to the distinctively short and rounded rostrum or snout of the species. This nomenclature highlights a defining feature of the bottlenose dolphin.

### Range

Dolphins are native to oceans worldwide, with their range extending across temperate and tropical waters. They can be found in various countries and continents, inhabiting coastal and offshore environments. However, they are notably absent from the extreme polar regions, namely the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans.

### Habitat

Dolphins inhabit a range of marine environments, including coastal bays, estuaries, and open ocean waters. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in diverse habitats, from shallow coastal areas to deeper offshore regions. Coastal populations often engage in complex behaviors, such as surfing in waves and interacting with human activities, showcasing their playful nature.

### Diet

As piscivores, dolphins primarily feed on a diet of fish, squid, and occasionally crustaceans. They are skilled hunters, using echolocation to locate prey and working together in coordinated efforts to corral and capture schools of fish. The dolphins' intelligence and adaptability contribute to their ability to exploit various food sources within their ecosystems.

### Status

The dolphin is currently classified as a species of Least Concern (LC) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. While the global population appears stable, regional populations may face threats such as habitat degradation, pollution, and entanglement in fishing gear. Conservation efforts focus on addressing these localized threats, implementing protective measures, and promoting responsible marine management practices.

Bilby

A bilby

The **bilby** (Macrotis lagotis) is an animal in Odd Squad Animal Movie. It is a vulnerable and omnivorous species of marsupial native to drylands in Australia.

## Biology

### Classification

The bilby is a species of marsupial. It belongs to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, infraclass Marsupialia, order Peramelemorphia, family Thylacomyidae, genus Macrotis, and species M. lagotis. The bilby is characterized by its distinctive long ears, silky fur, and a prehensile tail. It is one of Australia's unique and iconic mammals.

### Scientific name

The scientific name Macrotis lagotis combines the genus name Macrotis, denoting large ears, and the specific epithet lagotis, which is derived from Greek and means "hare-ear." This nomenclature highlights both its taxonomic classification and the notable feature of its oversized ears.

### Range

The bilby is native to drylands in Australia. Historically, its range covered a significant portion of the country, including arid and semi-arid regions. However, due to habitat loss and introduced predators, the bilby's distribution has become more fragmented, with remaining populations found in specific regions of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland.

### Habitat

The preferred habitat of the bilby includes arid and semi-arid environments, characterized by sandy soils and low vegetation. Bilbies construct extensive burrow systems, providing shelter from extreme temperatures and protection from predators. They are well-adapted to the challenges of their arid habitats.

### Diet

As omnivores, bilbies have a diverse diet that includes insects, seeds, bulbs, and small vertebrates. They use their strong forelimbs and claws to dig for food, and their long snouts are well-suited for foraging in the soil. The bilby's role as a seed disperser contributes to the ecological balance of its habitat.

### Status

The bilby is currently classified as a vulnerable species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The vulnerable status indicates that bilbies face a high risk of extinction in the wild. The main threats include habitat loss due to agriculture, grazing, and infrastructure development, as well as predation by introduced species such as foxes and cats. Conservation efforts involve habitat restoration, predator control, and captive breeding programs to ensure the survival of them.

Flamingo

A flamingo

The **flamingo** (Phoenicopterus ruber) is an animal in Odd Squad Animal Movie. It is a least-concern and omnivorous species of wading bird native to wetlands in Central and South America.

## Biology

### Classification

The flamingo stands as an iconic and least-concern species of wading bird, belonging to the domain Eukaryota, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Aves, order Phoenicopteriformes, family Phoenicopteridae, genus Phoenicopterus, and species P. ruber.
