Animal Information
Sea Anemone (None)
"Sea anemones are sessile or slowly moving cnidarians; their tentacles have stinging cells (cnidocytes) for predation and defense."
Anchovy (Engraulidae (some species))
"Anchovies are small, schooling fish, often processed into dried fish, fish sauce, or canned food, and are important forage fish."
Peregrine Falcon (Saker Falcon (sometimes confused))
"The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal in the world during its hunting dive (stoop), reaching speeds over 320 km/h."
Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura)
"The Mourning Dove is named for its soft, sad-sounding 'coo' call and is one of the most common birds in North America."
Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)
"The Grey Heron is a large wading bird with a long neck, preying on fish, amphibians, and small mammals."
Okapi (Forest Giraffe, Zebra Giraffe)
"The Okapi is the only living relative of the giraffe, with zebra-like stripes on its legs, elusive, and known as the 'forest giraffe'."
Clownfish (Anemonefish)
"Clownfish form a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, are immune to their stings, and can evade predators."
Pangolin (Scaly Anteater)
"Pangolins are covered in keratinous scales, the only mammals with scales, and curl into a ball when threatened."
Slow Loris (Nycticebus)
"Slow lorises move slowly, are nocturnal, and have a toxic secretion from glands on their arms that, when mixed with saliva, is used for defense."
Binturong (Bearcat (Southeast Asian colloquial name, not Giant Panda))
"Binturongs are nocturnal, arboreal animals with prehensile tails and emit a peculiar scent similar to popcorn."
Red-eyed Tree Frog (None)
"Red-eyed tree frogs have large, bright red eyes and colorful bodies, are nocturnal, and skilled climbers."
Horseshoe Crab (King Crab (misnomer), Limulidae (family name))
"Horseshoe crabs are ancient marine arthropods, their form almost unchanged for hundreds of millions of years; their blue blood is used for medical testing."
Vole (Field Mouse (not House Mouse))
"Voles are small herbivorous rodents, numerous in species, and are important food for many raptors and carnivores."
African Buffalo (Cape Buffalo)
"The African Buffalo is one of Africa's 'Big Five' game animals, known for its fierce temperament, large herds, and wide, connected horn bases."
Hercules Beetle (Dynastes hercules)
"Male Hercules beetles have enormous horns on their thoraxes, are one of the longest beetle species, and are very strong."
Millipede (Diplopoda)
"Most millipedes feed on decaying plant matter; each body segment has two pairs of legs, and they move slowly."
Mink (American Mink)
"Mink are semi-aquatic animals, skilled swimmers and divers; their fur is valuable, making them important fur-bearing animals."
Walrus (None)
"Walruses are known for their long tusks (canine teeth) and facial whiskers (vibrissae); tusks can be used for various purposes."
Krill (Antarctic Krill (most famous))
"Krill are small, shrimp-like planktonic crustaceans, key forage organisms in marine ecosystems; many species are bioluminescent."
Aardvark (Antbear, Orycteropus afer)
"Aardvarks are nocturnal, burrowing animals, primarily feeding on ants and termites, with unique tube-like teeth."
