Animal Information
Oyster (True Oyster)
"Oysters can purify water by filtering seawater; some species can produce pearls."
Tern (Sea Swallow (some colloquial confusion))
"Terns are more slender than gulls, with narrow wings and forked tails, often diving into water to catch fish."
Stoat (Ermine (in winter pelage), Short-tailed Weasel (some species))
"Stoats turn pure white in winter (tail tip remains black) to adapt to snow, known as ermine fur, once a symbol of royalty."
Manta Ray (Devilfish, Blanket Ray)
"Manta rays are the largest rays, feed on plankton, and sometimes leap out of the water."
Duck (Domestic duck, Wild duck)
"Duck feathers are highly waterproof, thanks to oil secreted by a gland near their tail."
Starfish (Sea Star)
"Starfish have powerful regenerative abilities; lost arms and even parts of the central disc can regrow."
Bushbaby (Galago)
"Bushbabies are nocturnal, have large eyes, strong hind legs for leaping, and their calls resemble a baby's cry."
Bandicoot (Peramelemorphia (order name))
"Bandicoots are small, burrowing marsupials with pointed snouts and partially fused toes on their hind feet, feeding on insects and plants."
Sea Squirt (Tunicate, Ascidian)
"Sea squirt larvae exhibit chordate characteristics; adults are sessile filter feeders, resembling sacs, and are diverse in species."
Hen Harrier (Northern Harrier (North America))
"Male hen harriers are greyish-white, females are brownish, they often fly low while hunting, and have a white rump patch."
Vulture (Old World Vulture)
"Vultures primarily feed on animal carcasses; their heads and necks are often bare of feathers for easier cleaning of carrion."
Clownfish (Anemonefish)
"Clownfish form a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, are immune to their stings, and can evade predators."
Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata)
"Zebra Finches are social birds; males court females with complex songs and are subjects of bird learning research."
Kudu (Greater Kudu)
"Male kudus have long, spiral-shaped horns, which are very spectacular; they are large antelopes."
Emperor Penguin (Royal Penguin)
"Emperor penguins are the only penguins that breed during the Antarctic winter; males incubate the eggs, fasting for months."
Scorpion (Scorpiones (order name))
"Scorpions are nocturnal predators; the stinger on their tail is used for predation and self-defense; some species glow under UV light."
Brown Bear (Grizzly Bear (North American subspecies))
"Brown bears hibernate in winter, during which their heart rate and body temperature drop significantly to conserve energy."
Bonobo (Pygmy Chimpanzee, Pan paniscus)
"Bonobos are slightly smaller than chimpanzees, with more peaceful social behavior, often resolving conflicts through sexual activity."
Flamingo (Phoenicopterus)
"The pink color of flamingo feathers comes from carotenoids in their food, such as small shrimp and algae."
Cassowary (Casuarius)
"Cassowaries are large, flightless birds with a casque on their heads, strong legs, and sharp claws; they can be aggressive."
