a giant... Armadillo?

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 ).

dog or otter?

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.

Whale or shark?

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!

red head woodpecker

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!

Mouse our kangaroo?

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 ).

Lumpfish mania!

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.

The fisher cat

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.
