A pygmy what?

A pygmy hippo thats what! This little animal's skin loses a lot of water so it spends most of it's life in the water (no wonder hippopotamus stands for river horse in greek). Most of these creatures are on the brink of extinction and we only know of about 21 of these animals in the world.

Need a tissue, monkey?

I know you think the proboscis monkey's nose looks weird, and I can't explain why it is so LARGE!
Actually no one knows why it is so bizarre. Some say it is used as a snorkel, others say it regulates body temperature, but it is most likely to lure females (Another non-attractive way to find a mate!).

Truth or false?

This is a onza you see in this picture. Do you notice something strange about it? What about it's tail and ears? That's right! It seems like half-dog, half-cat. Many people say it is fake. In 1938 and 1986 people find carcasses of the legendary Onza. My mom might have seen one, you know! Last year while my family was looking for property to buy, Mom said she saw dog like cat!

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.
