The spotfin lionfish
The spotfin lionfish or broadbarred firefish (Pterois antennata) is a fish found in the tropical Indian and Western Pacific Oceans; it grows to a maximum of 20 cm (8 in) and, like other lionfish, has venomous spiny dorsal fins. Its typical habitat is in lagoons and reefs, where it hides during the day and hunts shrimp and crab at night.
Giraffe
Standing six meters tall, a giraffe's long neck can measure up to two meters. This animal, like the majority of mammals, only has seven neck vertebraes, the same as a human! It has a tongue that can stretch to over 50 cm with a purplish-black tip. Very agile, it can slide between the acacia's thorns to reach the tender leaves.
Grant’s zebra
The zebra is undeniably characterised by its stripes! Far from being a simple decoration, they serve as camouflage, confuse predators, regulate its internal temperature and repel biting insects.
The guanaco
The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a camelid native to South America. Its name comes from the South American Quechua word huanaco (modern spelling wanaku). Young guanacos are called chulengos. Guanacos inhabit both the Pampas plains and mountainous regions of South America. They are found in the altiplano of Peru, Bolivia and Chile, and in Patagonia, with a small population in Paraguay.
Seahorse
Seahorse (also written sea-horse and sea horse) is the name given to 54 species of small marine fishes in the genus Hippocampus. "Hippocampus" comes from the Ancient Greek word hippos meaning "horse" and kampos meaning "sea monster". Having a head and neck suggestive of a horse, seahorses also feature segmented bony armour, an upright posture and a curled prehensile tail.
Paddlefish
Paddlefish is a basal Chondrostean ray-finned fish. They have been referred to as "primitive fish" because they have evolved with few morphological changes since the earliest fossil records of the Late Cretaceous, seventy to seventy-five million years ago. Polyodontids are exclusively North American and Chinese.
Sardine
"Sardine" and "pilchard" are common namesused to refer to various small, oily fish in the herring family Clupeidae. The term "sardine" was first used in English during the early 15th century and may come from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once abundant

Llama
Although a member of the camelid family, it does not have a hump like its cousins the camel and the dromedary. Its long thin legs are adapted to travel on rocky terrain. It has a thick insulating wool coat that helps keep it warm. By rolling on the ground, it loosens the wool's fibers that will help maintain the insulating characteristics of its coat.
Ostrich
The Largest Bird! An ostrich can weigh up to 150 kg (330 lbs)! But its weight is not the only thing that prevents this large bird from flying; its feathers, its muscles and its skeleton do not have the necessary adaptations for flight.
African elephant
Largest Terrestrial Mammal! Weighing up to six tons and standing four meters tall at the shoulder, it is the largest terrestrial mammal. The world record goes to a huge 10-ton male, now exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington.
Jellyfish
Jellyfish is the informal common name given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum Cnidaria. Jellyfish are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles, although a few are not mobile, being anchored to the seabed by stalks. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion and highly efficient locomotion.
