Sometimes called an anglerfish, it uses a fleshy lure to

mimic the behaviour of a marine worm and catch its prey.

Susceptible to both sunburn and hypothermia, this breed

of cat is known for its hairlessness and extroversion.

 

 

SLENDER LORIS

Its huge eyes allow this Sri Lankan jungle dweller to hunt

for insects at night. It is also being hunted, however, by

poachers and natives who believe it has magical properties.

 

 

LONG-EARED JERBOA

Resembling mice, not much is known about these small

jumping rodents. Their habitat consists mostly of northern

China and Mongolia and they usually come out only at night.

 

 

SAIGA

A very unique looking antelope the Saiga is known for its

distinctive nose. It is also a very prolific reproducer in

spite of increasing human encroachment on its habitat.

 

 

SHOEBILL

Related to storks and also known as a whalehead, it should be

obvious where this east African bird gets its name from. It is one

of the largest birds in the world and can grow to be over 1 metre tall.

 

 

HISPANIOLAN SOLENODON

This is one of the few species of mammal capable of producing toxic

saliva but because it was the dominant predator on the island of

Hispaniola prior to colonization it has not developed any effective

defences to ward off predators like dogs and cats that were

introduced by human settlers.

 

 

AYE-AYE

Found in Madagascar the aye-aye is the world’s largest nocturnal

primate. Often noted for its unique foraging techniques, it taps on

trees until it finds larvae, gnaws a hole in the wood, and inserts

its middle finger to pull them out.
