Animal Information
Zebra (Plains Zebra (most common))
"Each zebra's stripe pattern is unique, like human fingerprints."
Viper (Adder (related), Russell's Viper (common))
"Vipers are venomous snakes, usually with triangular heads and tubular fangs; many species are viviparous (live-bearing)."
Swallow (Barn Swallow (common))
"Swallows are known for their graceful flight and habit of building mud nests on human structures."
Snail (Terrestrial gastropod)
"Snails crawl using their muscular foot and secrete mucus to aid movement and prevent desiccation."
Moray Eel (Muraenidae (family name))
"Moray eels have large mouths and sharp teeth, smooth, scaleless skin, and often hide in caves to ambush prey."
Walrus (None)
"Walruses are known for their long tusks (canine teeth) and facial whiskers (vibrissae); tusks can be used for various purposes."
Brown Rat (Norway Rat, Sewer Rat)
"Brown rats are strong swimmers, can spread through sewer systems, and are significant hygiene pests."
Woodpecker (None)
"Woodpeckers use their strong beaks to peck at trees for insects; their heads have special structures to absorb shock."
Sei Whale (Northern Sei Whale, Southern Sei Whale)
"Sei whales are among the fastest swimming baleen whales, with tall, sickle-shaped dorsal fins, and feed on small crustaceans and fish."
Canary (Serinus canaria domestica)
"Canaries are prized for their melodious songs and bright plumage (artificially bred)."
Wasp (Hornet, Paper Wasp)
"Unlike bees, most wasps can sting repeatedly; some species are social, while others are solitary."
Gharial (Fish-eating Crocodile, Indian Gharial, Gavialis gangeticus)
"Gharials have extremely long, slender snouts with sharp teeth, specialized for catching fish, and are critically endangered crocodilians."
Puffin (Atlantic Puffin (common))
"Puffins have brightly colored beaks during the breeding season, resembling clowns; they are skilled at diving for fish and are often called 'sea parrots' or 'clowns of the sea'."
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."
Grouper (General term for fish in Serranidae family)
"Groupers are important food fish, with many species, many of which exhibit sex reversal."
Tarantula (Bird-eating spider (some species))
"Despite their intimidating appearance, the venom of most tarantulas is not fatal to humans, more akin to a bee sting."
Arctic Fox (Snow Fox, White Fox)
"The Arctic fox's fur changes to pure white in winter to adapt to snowy environments, and to brown or gray in summer."
Blackbuck (Indian Antelope)
"Male blackbucks have dark brown to black coats and long, spiral horns, are fast runners, and are considered sacred in Hinduism."
Squid (Calamari, Loligo)
"Squid have ten arms, slender, tubular bodies, swim rapidly, and many species can squirt ink and change color."
Alligator (American Alligator)
"One difference between alligators and crocodiles is that an alligator's lower teeth are not visible when its mouth is closed."
