Animal Information
Fly (Housefly (common species))
"Flies have taste receptors on their feet; they 'taste' food by walking on it."
Leopard (Panther, Spotted Leopard)
"Leopards are excellent climbers and often drag their prey up trees to avoid other carnivores."
Guanaco (Wild Llama)
"Guanacos are wild camelids, considered the wild ancestor of the llama, and are fast runners."
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."
Partridge (Chukar Partridge, Red-legged Partridge (types))
"Partridges are medium-sized ground birds, usually greyish-brown with patterned plumage, loud calls, and are important game birds."
Moose (Elk (Europe))
"Moose are the largest deer species; males have huge, palmate antlers and a dewlap (bell) under their throat."
Polar Bear (White Bear)
"Polar bears are the largest land carnivores, primarily feeding on seals, and are adapted to extremely cold environments."
Duck (Domestic duck, Wild duck)
"Duck feathers are highly waterproof, thanks to oil secreted by a gland near their tail."
Anaconda (Green Anaconda (heaviest snake))
"Anacondas are among the world's heaviest and largest snakes, excellent swimmers, non-venomous but powerful constrictors."
Vaquita (Gulf of California Porpoise)
"The Vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal, small in size, with dark rings around its eyes, and extremely rare to see."
Chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera)
"Chinchillas have the densest fur of any known mammal and clean their fur by taking dust baths."
Scallop (Pectinidae (family name))
"Scallops can swim short distances by rapidly clapping their shells to propel themselves with water jets; their shells have radial ribs."
Dolphin (Bottlenose Dolphin (common species))
"Dolphins are highly intelligent animals, capable of using tools and communicating through complex sounds."
Jellyfish (Medusa (some species))
"Jellyfish lack brains, hearts, and bones; their bodies are mostly water, and they prey using stinging cells (cnidocytes)."
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."
Pig (Domestic Pig)
"Pigs are considered quite intelligent animals, with an IQ sometimes thought to be higher than dogs."
Vole (Field Mouse (not House Mouse))
"Voles are small herbivorous rodents, numerous in species, and are important food for many raptors and carnivores."
Blackbuck (Indian Antelope)
"Male blackbucks have dark brown to black coats and long, spiral horns, are fast runners, and are considered sacred in Hinduism."
Firefly (Lightning Bug, Glowworm)
"Fireflies use bioluminescence for courtship and communication; larvae (some species) also glow and prey on snails."
Tuatara (Sphenodon (New Zealand), Living Fossil)
"Tuataras are ancient reptiles, known as 'living fossils', and have a third eye (parietal eye) on top of their heads."
