Animal Information
Mosquito (Culicidae (family name))
"Only female mosquitoes bite; the protein in blood is necessary for their egg production."
Spectacled Caiman (Caiman crocodilus)
"Spectacled caimans have a bony ridge between their eyes resembling eyeglass frames, are relatively small crocodilians, and are highly adaptable."
Perch (European Perch, Five-striped Perch)
"Perch have spiny dorsal fins and dark vertical stripes on their sides; they are common game and food fish."
Cobra (Indian Cobra (common))
"When threatened, cobras spread the ribs in their neck, forming their characteristic 'hood'."
Fennec Fox (Desert Fox)
"Fennec foxes have disproportionately large ears for heat dissipation and locating prey; they are the smallest canid species."
Porcupine (Quill Pig)
"Porcupines are covered in sharp quills for defense; when threatened, they raise their quills, which can detach and embed in enemies."
Markhor (Screw-horned Goat, Capra falconeri (sometimes confused with Marco Polo Sheep))
"Male markhors have unique, spirally twisted horns; they are the national animal of Pakistan."
Pufferfish (Blowfish, Globefish)
"Pufferfish inflate their bodies by swallowing water or air when threatened; many species have highly toxic internal organs and skin."
Camel (Dromedary Camel, Bactrian Camel)
"Camels can survive for long periods without water in deserts; their humps store fat, not water."
Sturgeon (Chinese Sturgeon, Beluga Sturgeon (some species))
"Sturgeons are ancient fish with bony plates (scutes) on their bodies; their eggs are made into valuable caviar; many species are endangered."
Brown Rat (Norway Rat, Sewer Rat)
"Brown rats are strong swimmers, can spread through sewer systems, and are significant hygiene pests."
European Roller (Coracias garrulus)
"European Rollers have brightly colored plumage, predominantly blue and brown, and perform graceful aerial acrobatics, often tumbling in flight."
Giant Panda (Cat Bear, Bamboo Bear)
"Giant pandas spend 12-16 hours a day eating bamboo, consuming 12-38 kilograms daily."
Swallow (Barn Swallow (common))
"Swallows are known for their graceful flight and habit of building mud nests on human structures."
Gila Monster (American Venomous Lizard, Heloderma suspectum)
"The Gila monster is one of only two venomous lizards in North America, slow-moving, with beaded scales and warning coloration."
Swift (Common Swift)
"Swifts are master fliers, spending most of their lives in the air, even sleeping and mating on the wing."
Goshawk (Northern Goshawk)
"Goshawks are medium to large raptors, fast and agile fliers, often hunting birds and small mammals in forests."
Shrew (Soricidae (family name))
"Shrews are among the smallest mammals, have extremely high metabolisms, need to eat constantly, and some species are venomous."
Serval (African Serval)
"Servals have long legs and large ears, are skilled jumpers for hunting small animals and birds, and are elegant hunters of the African savanna."
Bald Eagle (American Eagle, Bald Eagle (colloquial for '秃鹰'))
"The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States and has incredible eyesight, allowing it to spot prey from high altitudes."
