Red-legged Seriema

The **red-legged seriema** (*Cariama cristata*), also known as the crested cariama, and crested seriema, is a mostly predatory terrestrial bird in the seriema family (Cariamidae), included in the Gruiformes in the old paraphyletic circumscription, but increasingly placed in a distinct order Cariamiformes (along with three extinct families). The red-legged seriema inhabits grasslands from Brazil south of the Amazon to Uruguay and northern Argentina. It is estimated that its range covers an area of 5.9 million km2, although it is not found everywhere in this region. The species is absent from the Mata Atlântica and planalto uplands along the coast of Brazil. Like the black-legged seriema, farmers often use them as guard animals to protect poultry from predators and sometimes human intruders.
Ornate Hawk-eagle

The ornate hawk-eagle is a fairly large bird of prey from the tropical Americas. Formerly, some authorities referred to this species as the crested hawk-eagle, a name that may cause some confusion as it is more commonly used for an Asian eagle species. Like all eagles, it is in the family Accipitridae.
Pygmy Hog

The **pygmy hog** (*Porcula salvania*) is a suid native to alluvial grasslands in the foothills of the Himalayas at elevations of up to 300 m. Today, the only known population lives in southern Bhutan and in Assam, India. As the population is estimated at less than 250 mature individuals, it is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
Rock Hyrax

The **rock hyrax** (*Procavia capensis*), also called **Cape hyrax**, **rock rabbit**, and (in the Bible) **coney**, is a medium-sized terrestrial mammal native to Africa and the Middle East. Commonly referred to in South Africa as the dassie (/dasiː/), it is one of the five living species of the order Hyracoidea, and the only one in the genus Procavia. Rock hyraxes weigh between 4 kilograms (9 lb) and 5 kilograms (11 lb), and have short ears and tail.
Muscovy Duck

The **Muscovy duck** (*Cairina moschata*) is a large duck native to Mexico and Central and South America. Small wild and feral breeding populations have established themselves in the United States, particularly in Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas as well as in many other parts of North America, including southern Canada. Feral Muscovy ducks are found in New Zealand, Australia, and in parts of Europe.
Nandi Bear

The **Nandi bear** is an unconfirmed animal, reported to live in East Africa. It takes its name from the Nandi people who live in western Kenya, in the area the Nandi Bear is reported from. It is also known as Chemosit, Kerit, Koddoelo, Ngoloko, or Duba. The Samburu "Nkampit" appears also to be a version of this creature.
Nyala

The lowland nyala or simply nyala, is a spiral-horned antelope native to southern Africa. It is a species of the family Bovidae and genus Nyala, also considered to be in the genus Tragelaphus. It was first described in 1849 by George French Angas. The body length is 135–195 cm, and it weighs 55–140 kg.
Raccoon Butterflyfish

he **raccoon butterflyfish** (*Chaetodon lunula*), also known as the **crescent-masked butterflyfish**, **lunule butterflyfish**, **halfmoon butterflyfish**, **moon butterflyfish**, **raccoon butterfly**, **raccoon**, **raccoon coralfish**, and **redstriped butterflyfish**, is a species of butterflyfish (family Chaetodontidae).
Red-bellied Macaw

The red-bellied macaw, also known as Guacamaya Manilata, is a medium-sized, mostly green South American parrot, a member of a group of large Neotropical parrots known as macaws. It is the largest of what are commonly called "mini-macaws". The belly has a large maroon patch which gives the species its name.
Savannah Monitor

The **savannah monitor** (*Varanus exanthematicus*) is a medium-sized species of monitor lizard native to Africa. The species is known as **Bosc's monitor** in Europe, since French scientist Louis Bosc first described the species. It belongs to the subgenus Polydaedalus, along with the Nile, the ornate and other monitors.
Ribbon-tailed Astrapia

The ribbon-tailed astrapia, also known as Shaw Mayer's astrapia, is a species of bird-of-paradise. The ribbon-tailed astrapia is distributed and endemic to subalpine forests in western part of the central highlands of Papua New Guinea. Like many other ornamental birds-of-paradise, the male is polygamous.
Blue Jay

The **blue jay** (*Cyanocitta cristata*) is a passerine bird in the family Corvidae, native to North America. It resides through most of eastern and central United States, although western populations may be migratory. Resident populations are also found in Newfoundland, Canada, while breeding populations can be found across southern Canada.
Scimitar Oryx

The **scimitar oryx** or **scimitar-horned oryx** (*Oryx dammah*), also known as the **Sahara oryx**, is a species of *Oryx* that was once widespread across North Africa. The species went extinct in the wild in 2000 but a group was released into an acclimation enclosure within the Ouadi Rimé-Ouadi Achim Faunal Reserve in 2016, then reintroduced back into the wild. 21 additional animals were placed in the acclimation enclosure in 2017.
Mountain Lion

The **mountain lion** (*Puma concolor*) is a large felid of the subfamily Felinae. It is native to the Americas. Its range spans from the Canadian Yukon to the southern Andes in South America, and is the widest of any large wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere. It is an adaptable, generalist species, occurring in most American habitat types. Due to its wide range, it has many names including **puma**, **cougar**, **red tiger**, and **catamount**.
Scarlet Macaw

The **scarlet macaw** (*Ara macao*) is a large red, yellow, and blue Central and South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots called macaws. It is native to humid evergreen forests of tropical Central and South America. Range extends from south-eastern Mexico to the Peruvian Amazon, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil in lowlands of 500 m (1,640 ft) (at least formerly) up to 1,000 m (3,281 ft). In some areas, it has suffered local extinction because of habitat destruction or capture for the parrot trade, but in other areas it remains fairly common. Formerly it ranged north to southern Tamaulipas. It can still be found on the island of Coiba. It is the national bird of Honduras. Like its relative the blue-and-yellow macaw, scarlet macaws are popular birds in aviculture as a result of their striking plumage.

Barasingha

The **barasingha** (Rucervus duvaucelii) syn. Cervus duvaucelii), also called **swamp deer**, is a deer species distributed in the Indian subcontinent. Populations in northern and central India are fragmented, and two isolated populations occur in southwestern Nepal. It is extinct in Pakistan and in Bangladesh. The specific name commemorates the French naturalist Alfred Duvaucel. The swamp deer differs from all the Indian deer species in that the antlers carry more than three tines. Because of this distinctive character it is designated barasingha, meaning "twelve-tined." Mature stags have 10 to 14 tines, and some have been known to have up to 20. In Assamese, barasingha is called dolhorina; dol meaning swamp. In central India, it is called goinjak (stags) or gaoni (hinds).
Ring-tailed Lemur

The **ring-tailed lemur** (*Lemur catta*) is a large strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the ***Lemur*** genus. Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of Madagascar. Known locally in Malagasy as *maky* (spelled maki in French) or hira, it inhabits gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island. It is omnivorous and the most terrestrial of extant lemurs. The animal is diurnal, being active exclusively in daylight hours.
Oriental Small-clawed Otter

The **Asian small-clawed otter** (*Amblonyx cinereus*), also known as the **oriental small-clawed otter** or simply **small-clawed otter**, is a semiaquatic mammal native to South and Southeast Asia. It is a member of the otter subfamily (Lutrinae) of the weasel family (Mustelidae), and is the smallest otter species in the world.
North Sulawesi Babirusa

The **North Sulawesi babirusa** (*Babyrousa celebensis*) is a pig-like animal native to Sulawesi and some nearby islands (Lembeh, Buton and Muna) in Indonesia. It has two pairs of large tusks composed of enlarged canine teeth. The upper canines penetrate the top of the snout, curving back toward the forehead. The North Sulawesi babirusa is threatened from hunting and deforestation.
Shingleback Skink

*Tiliqua rugosa* is a short-tailed, slow-moving species of blue-tongued skink found in Australia. Three of the four recognised subspecies are found only in Western Australia, where they are known collectively by the common name **shingleback**.
The name **bobtail** is also used, especially for T. rugosa asper, the only subspecies native to eastern Australia.
Sailfin Flying Fish

The **sailfin flying fish** (*Parexocoetus brachypterus*) is a member of the flying fish family (Exocoetidae). As is typical of other members of its family, this species has the ability to jump out of the water and glide on hypertrophied fins in order to evade predators. It is considered a “two-winged” flying fish, meaning that it only has enlarged pectoral fins, as opposed to “four-winged” flying fish, which have both enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins.
Mongolian Gazelle

The **Mongolian gazelle** (*Procapra gutturosa*), or **dzeren** (Russian: Дзерэн), is a medium-sized antelope native to the semiarid Central Asian steppes of Mongolia, as well as some parts of Siberia and China. The name dzeren is Russian misinterpretation of the Mongolian language name of zeer' (Mongolian: Зээр).
Northern Pike

The **northern pike** (*Esox lucius*), known simply as a pike in Britain, Ireland, most of Canada, and most parts of the United States (once called luce when fully grown; also called jackfish or simply "northern" in the U.S. Upper Midwest and in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan), is a species of carnivorous fish of the genus Esox (the pikes). They are typical of brackish and fresh waters of the Northern Hemisphere (i.e. holarctic in distribution).
Reef Manta Ray

The **reef manta ray** (*Mobula alfredi*) is a species of ray in the family Mobulidae, one of the largest rays in the world. Among generally recognized species, it is the second-largest species of ray, only surpassed by the giant oceanic manta ray (a currently unrecognized species from the Caribbean region also appears to be larger than the reef manta ray).
Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoise

The Indo-Pacific finless porpoise, or finless porpoise, is one of seven porpoise species. Most of the population has been found around the Korean peninsula in the Yellow and East China Seas, although a freshwater population is found around Jiuduansha near Shanghai at the mouth of China's Yangtze River.
Red Deer

The **red deer** (*Cervus elaphus*) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
Monito Del Monte

The **monito del monte** (Spanish for "little monkey of the bush") or **colocolo opossum**, *Dromiciops gliroides*, also called ***chumaihuén*** in Mapudungun, is a diminutive marsupial native only to southwestern South America (Argentina and Chile). It is the only extant species in the ancient order Microbiotheria, and the sole New World representative of the superorder Australidelphia (all other New World marsupials are members of the paraphyletic "Ameridelphia").
Norway Lemming

The **Norway lemming**, also **Norwegian lemming** (*Lemmus lemmus*) is a common species of lemming found in northern Fennoscandia. It is the only vertebrate species endemic to the region. The Norway lemming dwells in tundra and fells, and prefers to live near water. Adults feed primarily on sedges, grasses and moss.
Reef Stonefish

*Synanceia verrucosa* is a species of venomous fish in the family Synanceiidae, commonly known as the Reef Stonefish. The Reef Stonefish is the most widespread species of stonefish, mostly found in shallow waters of the Red Sea and the Indo-Pacific It is the deadliest fish in the sea, with incredibly effective venom.
Pygmy Rabbit

The **pygmy rabbit** (*Brachylagus idahoensis*) is a North American rabbit, and is one of only two rabbit species in America to dig its own burrow. The pygmy rabbit differs significantly from species within either the *Lepus* (hare) or *Sylvilagus* (cottontail) genera and is generally considered to be within the monotypic genus *Brachylagus*.
Remora

The **remoras** /ˈrɛmərəz/, sometimes called **suckerfish**, are a family (Echeneidae) of ray-finned fish in the order Carangiformes. Depending on species, they grow to 30–110 cm (12–43 in) long. Their distinctive first dorsal fins take the form of a modified oval, sucker-like organ with slat-like structures that open and close to create suction and take a firm hold against the skin of larger marine animals. The disk is made up of stout, flexible membranes that can be raised and lowered to generate suction. By sliding backward, the remora can increase the suction, or it can release itself by swimming forward. Remoras sometimes attach to small boats, and have been observed attaching to divers as well. They swim well on their own, with a sinuous, or curved, motion.
Papyrus

*Cyperus papyrus* (**papyrus**, **papyrus sedge**, **paper reed**, **Indian matting plant**, **Nile grass**) is a species of aquatic flowering plant belonging to the sedge family Cyperaceae. It is a tender herbaceous perennial, native to Africa, and forms tall stands of reed-like swamp vegetation in shallow water.
Northern Cardinal

The **northern cardinal** (*Cardinalis cardinalis*) is a bird in the genus *Cardinalis*; it is also known colloquially as the redbird, common cardinal or just cardinal (which was its name prior to 1985). It can be found in southeastern Canada, through the eastern United States from Maine to Minnesota to Texas, and south through Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala.
Plains Zebra

The **plains zebra** (*Equus quagga*), also known as the **common zebra**, is the most common and geographically widespread species of zebra. Its range is fragmented, but spans much of southern and eastern Africa south of the Sahara. Six subspecies have been recognised including the extinct quagga which was thought to be a separate species.

## Behavior

Plains Zebra Social Structure
Herds will mingle with wildebeests, ostriches and antelope while they graze and even come to depend on them as additional protection against predators. Zebra are always busy and alert and very noisy. Plains Zebra make a lot of sounds.

## Did You know?

* Plains Zebras are the second largest species of zebra, after the Grévy's zebra.
* A group of zebras is known in many diffrent ways, such as herds, zeals, stampeeds, dazzles, or dashes.
* Plains zebras stick together in herds like wildebeests and antelopes, to avoid preadators such as lions, cheetahs, crocodiles, hyenas, leopards and wild dogs.
* Zebras make a loud alarming sound that sounds like laughing to alert other zebras.
Red-eyed Tree Frog

*Agalychnis callidryas*, known as the **red-eyed treefrog**, is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, to Colombia. It is sometimes kept in captivity. The scientific name of the red-eyed treefrog, A. callidryas, comes from Greek words kalos and dryas.
Shrubland

**Shrubland**, **scrubland**, **scrub**, **brush**, or **bush** is a plant community characterized by vegetation dominated by shrubs, often also including grasses, herbs, and geophytes. Shrubland may either occur naturally or be the result of human activity.

Red Kite

The red kite is a medium-large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as eagles, buzzards, and harriers. The species currently breeds in the Western Palearctic region of Europe and northwest Africa, though it formerly also occurred in northern Iran.
Red Junglefowl

The **red junglefowl** (*Gallus gallus*) is a tropical bird in the family Phasianidae. They are the primary progenitor of the domestic chicken (*Gallus gallus domesticus*).

## Did You Know?

* The red junglefowls were first domesticated at least 5,000 years ago in India. Since then, their domestic form has spread around the world and is kept globally as a source of meat and eggs.
Pygmy Mouse Lemur

The **pygmy mouse lemur**, also known as **Peters' mouse lemur** or **dormouse lemur**, is a primate weighing only 43–55 g; it is the second smallest of the mouse lemurs. Its dorsal side is a rufous-brown colour, and creamy-white ventrally. It lives in dry deciduous forests. The pygmy mouse lemur measures around 12–13 cm.
Russian Desman

The **Russian desman** (*Desmana moschata*) (Russian: *выхухоль vykhukhol*) is a small semiaquatic mammal that inhabits the Volga, Don and Ural River basins in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. It constructs burrows into the banks of ponds and slow-moving streams, but prefers small, overgrown ponds with abundance of insects, crayfish and amphibians.
Polar Bear

The **polar bear** (*Ursus maritimus*) is a hypercarnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear (*Ursus arctos middendorffi*). A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg (772–1,543 lb), while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Polar bears are the largest land carnivores currently in existence, rivaled only by the Kodiak bear. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals, which make up most of its diet. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the sea ice. Their scientific name means "maritime bear" and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as marine mammals.
Red River Hog

Like other wild pigs, **the red river hog** (*Potamochoerus porcus*) has a broad, omnivorous diet, and spends most of its adult life in search of food. Also called the African bush pig, this species is usually active at night, returning to a burrow excavated amongst dense vegetation during the day, although in forests and shaded areas individuals may also forage during the morning and evening. Food is located using the sensitive, disc-like snout, which identifies edible material by both touch and smell, and also serves as a plough for rooting up vegetation. Roots, berries and fruits are the most common sources of food, although small mammals, reptiles, young birds eggs and carrion may all be eaten when available.
Moorish Idol

The **Moorish idol** (*Zanclus cornutus*) is a marine fish species, the sole extant representative of the family Zanclidae (from the Greek ζαγκίος, *zagkios*, "oblique") in order Perciformes. A common inhabitant of tropical to subtropical reefs and lagoons, the Moorish idol is notable for its wide distribution throughout the Indo-Pacific.
Muskox

The **muskox** (*Ovibos moschatus*, in Latin "musky sheep-ox"), also spelled **musk ox** and **musk-ox** (in Inuktitut: ᐅᒥᖕᒪᒃ, umingmak; in Woods Cree: ᒫᖨᒨᐢ, mâthi-môs, ᒫᖨᒧᐢᑐᐢ, mâthi-mostos), is an Arctic hoofed mammal of the family Bovidae, noted for its thick coat and for the strong odor emitted during the seasonal rut by males, from which its name derives. This musky odor is used to attract females during mating season.
Rock Ptarmigan

The **rock ptarmigan** (*Lagopus muta*) is a medium-sized gamebird in the grouse family. It is known simply as the **ptarmigan** in the UK and in Canada, where it is the official bird for the territory of Nunavut, Canada, and the official game bird for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Reindeer

File:Placeholder

 File:Placeholder
The **reindeer** (*Rangifer tarandus*), also known as the **caribou** in North America, is a species of deer with circumpolar distribution, native to Arctic, sub-Arctic, tundra, boreal, and mountainous regions of northern Europe, Siberia, and North America. This includes both sedentary and migratory populations. *Rangifer* herd size varies greatly in different geographic regions. The Taimyr herd of migrating Siberian tundra reindeer (*R. t. sibiricus*) in Russia is the largest wild reindeer herd in the world, varying between 400,000 and 1,000,000. What was once the second largest herd is the migratory boreal woodland caribou (*R. t. caribou*) George River herd in Canada, with former variations between 28,000 and 385,000. As of January 2018, there are fewer than 9,000 animals estimated to be left in the George River herd, as reported by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The New York Times reported in April 2018 of the disappearance of the only herd of southern mountain caribou in the lower 48 states, with an expert calling it "functionally extinct" after the herd's size dwindled to a mere three animals.
Scutosaurus

***Scutosaurus*** ("Shield lizard") was a genus of parareptiles. It was an armor-covered pareiasaur that lived around 265–254 million years ago in Russia, in the later Permian period. Its genus name refers to large plates of armor scattered across its body. It was a large anapsid reptile that, unlike most reptiles, held its legs underneath its body to support its great weight. Fossils have been found in the Sokolki Assemblage Zone of the Malokinelskaya Formation in European Russia, close to the Ural Mountains.
Red-tailed Black Cockatoo

The **red-tailed black cockatoo** (*Calyptorhynchus banksii*) also known as **Banksian-** or **Banks' black cockatoo**, is a large black cockatoo native to Australia. Adult males have a characteristic pair of bright red panels on the tail that gives the species its name. It is more common in the drier parts of the continent.
Moose

The **moose** (North America) or **elk** (Eurasia), *Alces alces*, is a member of the New World deer subfamily and is the largest and heaviest extant species in the deer family. Moose are distinguished by the broad, palmate ("open-hand shaped") antlers of the males; other members of the deer family have antlers with a dendritic ("twig-like") configuration. It typically inhabits boreal forests and temperate broadleaf and mixed forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates. Hunting and other human activities have caused a reduction in the size of the moose's range over time. It has been reintroduced to some of its former habitats. Currently, most moose are found in Canada, Alaska, New England (with Maine having the most of the lower 48 states), Fennoscandia, Baltic states, and Russia. Their diet consists of both terrestrial and aquatic vegetation. The most common moose predators are the gray wolf along with bears and humans. Unlike most other deer species, moose do not form herds and are solitary animals, aside from calves who remain with their mother until the cow begins estrus (typically at 18 months after birth of the calf), at which point the cow chases away young bulls. Although generally slow-moving and sedentary, moose can become aggressive and move quickly if angered or startled. Their mating season in the autumn features energetic fights between males competing for a female.
Panamanian Golden Frog

The **Panamanian golden frog** (*Atelopus zeteki*), also known as **Cerro Campana stubfoot toad** and other names, is a species of toad endemic to Panama. Panamanian golden frogs inhabit the streams along the mountainous slopes of the Cordilleran cloud forests of west-central Panama. While the IUCN lists it as critically endangered, it may in fact have been extinct in the wild since 2007. Individuals have been collected for breeding in captivity in a bid to preserve the species. The alternative common name, Zetek's golden frog, and the epithet zeteki both commemorate the entomologist James Zetek.

## Did You Know?

* Despite its common name, the Panamanian golden frog is a true toad, a member of the family Bufonidae.
Red-footed Tortoise

The **red-footed tortoise** (*Chelonoidis carbonarius*) is a species of tortoise from northern South America. These medium-sized tortoises generally average 30 cm (12 in) as adults, but can reach over 40 cm (16 in). They have dark-colored, loaf-shaped carapaces (back shell) with a lighter patch in the middle of each scute (scales on the shell), and dark limbs with brightly colored scales that range from pale yellow to dark red. Recognized differences are seen between red-footed tortoises from different regions. They are closely related to the yellow-footed tortoise (C. denticulata) from the Amazon Basin. They are popularly kept as pets, and over-collection has caused them to be vulnerable to extinction.
Mountain Zebra

This evocative icon of Africa is an immediately recognisable member of the horse family, characterised by its striking pattern of black and white stripes, which continue through into its short, erect mane. The **mountain zebra** (*Equus zebra*) is discernable from other zebra species by the thin and relatively close-together vertical black lines on its neck and torso, which are narrower and more numerous than those of plains zebra (*Equus quagga*), and by the wide, horizontal bands on its haunches, which are broader than both those of Grévy’s zebra (*Equus grevyi*) and plains zebra. Unlike plains zebra, the mountain zebra also lacks ‘shadow stripes’, and the stripes do not meet under the belly, which is instead white with a central black stripe. The most diagnostic features of this species, however, are the ‘grid iron’ pattern of narrow stripes across the rump and the square flap of skin, or dewlap, which exists on this zebra’s throat. Aptly named, the mountain zebra is a good climber on steep, rugged terrain and has evolved exceptionally hard and pointed hooves compared to other equines.

## Behavior

*Equus zebra* is a social species with populations consisting of breeding herds and bachelor groups. Mountain zebras are non-territorial but breeding herds occupy home ranges with extensive overlap. ... In newly established herds, the stallion must actively prevent mares and foals from leaving.
Red-bellied Piranha

The **red-bellied piranha**, also known as the **red piranha** (*Pygocentrus nattereri*), is a species of piranha native to South America, found in the Amazon, Paraguay, Paraná and Essequibo basins, as well as coastal rivers of northeastern Brazil. This fish is locally abundant in its freshwater habitat.
Mule

A **mule** is the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). Horses and donkeys are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes. Of the two first generation hybrids between these two species, a mule is easier to obtain than a hinny, which is the offspring of a female donkey (jenny) and a male horse (stallion).
Northern Bald Ibis

The **northern bald ibis**, **hermit ibis**, or **waldrapp** (*Geronticus eremita*) is a migratory bird found in barren, semi-desert or rocky habitats, often close to running water. This 70–80 cm glossy black ibis, which, unlike many members of the ibis family, is non-wading, has an unfeathered red face and head, and a long, curved red bill.
Regal Blue Tang

**Regal blue tang** (*Paracanthurus hepatus*) is a species of Indo-Pacific surgeonfish. A popular fish in marine aquaria, it is the only member of the genus Paracanthurus. A number of common names are attributed to the species, including regal tang, palette surgeonfish, blue tang (leading to confusion with the Atlantic species *Acanthurus coeruleus*), royal blue tang, hippo tang, flagtail surgeonfish, Pacific regal blue tang, and blue surgeonfish.

## Behavior

They are not migratory fish. Once adults, Blue Tang Surgeonfish have three distinct social modes: territorial, wandering, and schooling. They are active during the day while feeding, but often dart off in crevices among the reef at night to avoid predators.

The purple gallinule is a rail species, placing it into the family Rallidae. It is also known locally as the yellow-legged gallinule.
Sand Tiger Shark

The **sand tiger shark** (*Carcharias taurus*), **grey nurse shark**, **spotted ragged-tooth shark** or **blue-nurse sand tiger**, is a species of shark that inhabits subtropical and temperate waters worldwide. It inhabits the continental shelf, from sandy shorelines (hence the name sand tiger shark) and submerged reefs to a depth of around 191 m (627 ft).
Red Panda

The **red panda** (*Ailurus fulgens*) is a mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because the wild population is estimated at fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and continues to decline due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression. Despite its name, it is not closely related to the giant panda.
Olive Baboon

The **olive baboon** (*Papio anubis*), also called the **Anubis baboon**, is a member of the family Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys). The species is the most wide-ranging of all baboons, being found in 25 countries throughout Africa, extending from Mali eastward to Ethiopia and Tanzania. Isolated populations are also present in some mountainous regions of the Sahara. It inhabits savannahs, steppes, and forests. The common name is derived from its coat colour, which is a shade of green-grey at a distance. A variety of communications, vocal and non-vocal, facilitate a complex social structure.

## Behavior

Olive baboons live in groups or "troops" as they are often called, ranging in size from 15 to 150 individuals (Rowel 1966; Dunbar & Dunbar 1974; Ray & Sapolsky 1992). Within the troop, there are several adult males, numerous adult females and their offspring of various ages. Females almost always remain in their natal group for their entire lives whereas males disperse in order to mate (Packer 1979a; Smuts 1985; Barton & Whiten 1993; Barton et al. 1996). Because females do not emigrate but rather stay and breed with immigrant males, some females within a group are closely related. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, and nieces associate with each other as a subgroup of the larger troop. A stable linear dominance hierarchy exists within and between these matrilineal subgroups (Smuts 1985; Barton &Whiten 1993).
Shoebill

The **shoebill** (*Balaeniceps rex*) also known as **whalehead**, **whale-headed stork**, or **shoe-billed stork**, is a very large stork-like bird. It derives its name from its enormous shoe-shaped bill.

It is generally found in evergreen and river-edge forests and is a gum-feeding specialist, or a gummivore.
Sargassum Fish

The sargassum fish, anglerfish, or frog fish is a frogfish of the family Antennariidae, the only species in its genus. It lives among Sargassum seaweed which floats in subtropical oceans. The scientific name comes from the Latin histrio meaning a stage player or actor, and refers to the fish's feeding behaviour.
Nile Crocodile

The **Nile crocodile** (*Crocodylus niloticus*) is a large crocodilian native to freshwater habitats in Africa, where it is present in 26 countries. Due to its widespread occurrence and stable population trend, it has been listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 1996. It is widely distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa, occurring mostly in the central, eastern, and southern regions of the continent, and lives in different types of aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers, and marshlands. Although capable of living in saline environments, this species is rarely found in saltwater, but occasionally inhabits deltas and brackish lakes. The range of this species once stretched northward throughout the Nile, as far north as the Nile delta. On average, the adult male Nile crocodile is between 3.5 and 5 m (11.5 and 16.4 ft) in length and weighs 225 to 750 kg (500 to 1,650 lb)

* Royal Grammas are destinctive by their purple heads and yellow tails.
* The Royal Gramma gots name from Royal Purple.
Steller's Sea Cow

**Steller's sea cow** (*Hydrodamalis gigas*) is an extinct sirenian described by Georg Wilhelm Steller in 1741. At that time, it was found only around the Commander Islands in the Bering Sea between Alaska and Russia; its range was more extensive during the Pleistocene epoch, and it is possible that the animal and humans previously interacted.
Reindeer Lichen

*Cladonia rangiferina*, also known as **reindeer lichen** (cf. Sw. *renlav*) or **grey reindeer lichen**, is a light-colored, fruticose lichen belonging to the family Cladoniaceae.

This herbivorous, somewhat rabbit-like animal is found in open and semiopen habitats in Argentina, including large parts of Patagonia.
Common Wombat

Also known the coarse-haired wombat, the **common wombat** (*Vombatas ursinus*) is the largest burrowing mammal and the second largest marsupial averaging 90-115 cm (35-45 in.) in length. Its solitary, nocturnal nature makes the wombat a rare sight for people in the wild.The common wombat’s hairless nose, smaller ears, rounder head, and longer fur distinguishes it from hairy-nosed species of wombats. Resembling a small bear, the common wombat has coarse, bristle-like fur that ranges in color from sandy hues to darker browns and blacks.

## Behavior

Wombats are mostly nocturnal in summer, but may come out during the day in winter when temperatures are lower. They may share the use of their burrows with other wombats but usually only one is resident at a time.
Patagonian Weasel

The Patagonian weasel is a small mustelid that is the only member of the genus Lyncodon. Its geographic range is the Pampas of western Argentina and sections of Chile. An early mention of the animal is in the Journal of Syms Covington, who sailed with Charles Darwin on his epic voyage aboard HMS Beagle.

Pronghorn

The **pronghorn** (*Antilocapra americana*) is a species of artiodactyl (even-toed, hoofed) mammal indigenous to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is often known colloquially in North America as the **American antelope**, **prong buck**, **pronghorn antelope**, **prairie antelope**, or simply **antelope** because it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to parallel evolution. It is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae.
Passenger Pigeon

The **passenger pigeon** or **wild pigeon** is an extinct species of pigeon that was endemic to North America. Its common name is derived from the French word passager, meaning "passing by", due to the migratory habits of the species. The scientific name also refers to its migratory characteristics.

The **Sunda pangolin** (*Manis javanica*), also known as the **Malayan** or **Javan pangolin**, is a species of pangolin. It is found throughout Southeast Asia, including Brunei, Cambodia, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam. It prefers forested habitats and plantations.
Nurse Shark

The nurse shark is an elasmobranch fish within the family Ginglymostomatidae. The conservation status of the nurse shark is globally assessed as being data deficient in- the IUCN List of Threatened Species owing to the lack of information across its range in the eastern Pacific Ocean and eastern Atlantic Ocean.
Portuguese Man O' War

The **Portuguese man o' war** (*Physalia physalis*), also known as the **man-of-war**, is a marine hydrozoan found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.

The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in) and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg (11 to 57 lb).
Giraffe

The **giraffe** (*Giraffa camelopardalis*) is an African artiodactyl mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. It is traditionally considered to be one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies. However, the existence of up to eight extant giraffe species has been described, based upon research into the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements of Giraffa. Seven other species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils.

## Behavior

The giraffe is not a territorial creature. They live in herds that are open with no obvious leader. The social behavior of giraffes is very informal and the individuals in the herds are often changing. Their need to spend a large portion of their day foraging for food makes them more independent than most herd animals.
Nile Monitor

The **Nile monitor** (*Varanus niloticus*) is not only Africa’s largest lizard but also one of the continent’s most voracious predators. Stout-bodied and powerful, this formidable reptile has an elongated snake-like head, sharp claws, and a long, compressed tail which it uses to great effect when under threat. The tough, beady skin of the adult is greyish-brown with regular yellow spots arranged in distinctive bands down the head, body and tail. The colour patterning of juveniles is more vibrant, with dark black skin covered in bright yellow spots and blotches
Montezuma Oropendola

The Montezuma oropendola is a New World tropical icterid bird. It is a resident breeder in the Caribbean coastal lowlands from southeastern Mexico to central Panama, but is absent from El Salvador and southern Guatemala.
