Animal Information
Pilot Whale (Globicephala, Blackfish)
"Pilot whales have bulbous heads, are highly social, often forming tight-knit groups, and are known for mass stranding behavior."
Crocodile (Saltwater Crocodile, Nile Crocodile (common species))
"Crocodiles are living fossils; their form has changed little over millions of years."
Blackbuck (Indian Antelope)
"Male blackbucks have dark brown to black coats and long, spiral horns, are fast runners, and are considered sacred in Hinduism."
Takin (Gnu Goat, Golden Takin (subspecies))
"Takins are stocky, ox-like animals with short, backward-curving horns, adapted to high mountain life, and are a Class I protected animal in China."
Hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis)
"Hellbenders are one of North America's largest amphibians, fully aquatic, with wrinkled skin to increase surface area for respiration."
Giraffe (Qilin (ancient name))
"Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals; newborn giraffes are about 1.8 meters tall."
Squid (Calamari, Loligo)
"Squid have ten arms, slender, tubular bodies, swim rapidly, and many species can squirt ink and change color."
Hyena (Spotted Hyena (most common))
"Hyenas have powerful jaws and are both scavengers and efficient predators; spotted hyena societies are matriarchal."
Addax (Screwhorn Antelope)
"Addax have long, spirally twisted horns, are extremely adapted to desert life, and are critically endangered."
Skunk (Striped Skunk (common))
"When threatened, skunks spray a strong-smelling liquid from their anal glands for defense."
Dolphin (Bottlenose Dolphin (common species))
"Dolphins are highly intelligent animals, capable of using tools and communicating through complex sounds."
Kiwi (Apteryx)
"The Kiwi is New Zealand's national bird, flightless, with a long beak and whiskers, and nostrils at the tip of its beak."
Pig (Domestic Pig)
"Pigs are considered quite intelligent animals, with an IQ sometimes thought to be higher than dogs."
Coral (Reef-building coral)
"Coral reefs are formed by the calcium carbonate skeletons secreted by thousands of tiny coral polyps."
Lamprey (Nine-eyed Eel, Sea Lamprey)
"Lampreys are ancient jawless fish with a sucker-like mouth full of keratinous teeth; some species are parasitic and blood-sucking."
Great Bustard (Otis tarda)
"Great Bustards are among the heaviest flying birds in the world; males have spectacular courtship displays during breeding season."
Moth (Noctuid Moth, Sphinx Moth (common types))
"Moths are typically nocturnal, many are attracted to light (phototaxis), and they are more diverse in species and form than butterflies."
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."
Python (Boa (some species, though different family often), Constrictor)
"Pythons are non-venomous snakes that kill prey by constriction (suffocation) and can swallow prey much larger than their heads."
Pangolin (Scaly Anteater)
"Pangolins are covered in keratinous scales, the only mammals with scales, and curl into a ball when threatened."
