Animal Information
Kangaroo (Red Kangaroo, Grey Kangaroo (common species))
"Kangaroos use their strong hind legs to hop and their tail for balance."
Crocodile (Saltwater Crocodile, Nile Crocodile (common species))
"Crocodiles are living fossils; their form has changed little over millions of years."
Seahorse (None)
"Seahorses are among the few animals where the male is responsible for incubating eggs; females lay eggs in the male's brood pouch."
Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus)
"The Andean Condor is one of the largest land flying birds by wingspan, feeds on carrion, and is a symbol of several South American countries."
Geoduck (Panopea generosa)
"Geoducks are the largest known burrowing bivalves, with enormous siphons, and are a prized seafood."
Hamster (Syrian Hamster (Golden Hamster), Dwarf Hamster)
"Hamsters have cheek pouches for temporarily storing food and transporting it to their nests."
Clam (Bivalve, Venus Clam)
"Clams are filter feeders, drawing in water through siphons to filter out plankton and organic debris."
Nautilus (Living Fossil)
"Nautiluses are ancient cephalopods with spiral external shells containing gas chambers to control buoyancy; known as 'living fossils'."
Hedgehog (Common Hedgehog)
"When threatened, hedgehogs curl into a ball, protecting themselves with their sharp spines."
Carp (Koi (ornamental type))
"Carp are highly adaptable and long-lived; Koi are prized for their vibrant colors."
Silkworm (Bombyx mori (larva))
"Silkworm larvae spin cocoons from silk, which is an important textile raw material; adult moths have lost the ability to fly."
European Roller (Coracias garrulus)
"European Rollers have brightly colored plumage, predominantly blue and brown, and perform graceful aerial acrobatics, often tumbling in flight."
Catfish (Whiskered fish, Siluriformes)
"Catfish usually have several pairs of barbels around their mouths, resembling cat whiskers, used for sensing the environment and finding food."
Great Bustard (Otis tarda)
"Great Bustards are among the heaviest flying birds in the world; males have spectacular courtship displays during breeding season."
Hercules Beetle (Dynastes hercules)
"Male Hercules beetles have enormous horns on their thoraxes, are one of the longest beetle species, and are very strong."
Goshawk (Northern Goshawk)
"Goshawks are medium to large raptors, fast and agile fliers, often hunting birds and small mammals in forests."
Bee-eater (Meropidae (family name))
"Bee-eaters have brilliantly colored plumage, slender, slightly curved beaks, and primarily prey on bees, wasps, and other flying insects."
Gecko (Gekkonidae, House Lizard)
"Geckos have billions of tiny hairs (setae) on their toes, allowing them to climb vertical and even inverted smooth surfaces."
Kudu (Greater Kudu)
"Male kudus have long, spiral-shaped horns, which are very spectacular; they are large antelopes."
Rhinoceros Beetle (Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle)
"Male rhinoceros beetles have prominent horns on their heads, used for fighting over territory and females; they are common pet insects."
