What do these birds have in common? They are all birds of paradise! There are three dozen species of these birds.You see the 1st bird above? It is performing a mating dance, showing of its power and skill (is THAT supposed to be attractive?!).That is all I know about it.
The animal kid is back with the volcano rabbit! It is small (not surprising since it is the smallest rabbit in the world) but intresting! The young may eat solid food in three weeks. It also has no tail (weird!) . It lives in south america.
Well this bird is called the Eco parrot. This "eco friendly" parrot has unfortunatly decreased by 90% on the only known island where they live but luckily all the rest of these creatures have been captured and bred and there population is still rising today.
This is the gold mantled tree kangaroo. I know it dosn't look like a kangaroo or gold color but I came up with the title by its name. So it is actually a member of the monkey-racoon family. ( If your angry this is all I know about it it is one of the least reasearched animals in the world! )
All right when I say goblin shark you think I mean something out of a science fiction movie, right? Its actually a rare shark only found in australia, pacific ocean, atlantic ocean and gulf of mexico. Whats weird is it is not endangered. They eat deep sea fish, squid and crabs.
If your out camping in madagascar at night and see two orange eyes you have a super ultra rare aye-aye on your hands! If you hate its looks you may not like to hear it escaped extinction ( less than 30 years ago it almost got regarded extinct until a farmer found under 50 aye-ayes in the wild.
He always stays in all these HUGE burrows... oh I forgot to tell you his name... the GIANT ARMADILLO! Now for what I was saying about it living burrows... it lives in burrow for two reasons... 1. To eat and store its favorite food, grubs. 2. Becuase its endothermic ( meaning it has to hibernate ).
O.k o.k you read the title. You may mistake this guy for a dog! These guy's live in brazil and can turn to top of food chain to be the hunted.
If you think it only eats krill you are WRONG! It eats squid, vertabrates, christmas island red crab larvea, macro-algea, krill and plankton. Oh right I forgot to tell you its name... the Whale Shark of course!
Extinct or not this guy is alive today! Well this animal hoards nuts and seeds just like a squirrel would. It could eat thousands of carpenter bees in one hour!
This guy is the desert jerboa! Its a nocturnal creature which only eats seeds ( no drinks included ). It also shelters in burrows at day ( at first I did not know it lived in burrows ).
The lumpfish is a poor swimmer and lives in a wall like part of the ocean. It has a suction cup on its stomach ( WEIRD ). Well ... I suppose that explains why its a poor swimmer and why they rarely come to the surface.
This cat DOES like water! Let me tell you about the fishing cat! He has webbed feet and his favorite food is catfish ( get it? ). All of these guys have water proof fur so they wont feel to cold while swimming in the winter time.
This guy earned the '' bush frog '' part of its name. The samkos bush frog is the name all right! I put him on my website for his ... well ... unfamiliar ways. You see he has green blood and turquoise bones. That explains two things. that he has been hidingall these years and how carnivores tend to leave him alone.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! A giant salamander is about to eat me!
O.K. O.K. not really but a giant salamander is big enough to! It is as big as a bike!
It can live as long as 3o years our more!
