An oriental cat.
An elegant and graceful representative of the feline, which has a long body, large ears and bright diamond eyes. They are very active and inquisitive, constantly exploring the world around them.
This breed is known for its expressive vocal capabilities and propensity to communicate with people. They are very loyal to their masters and tend to follow them around.
They don't like being alone for a long time, so they need to provide enough attention and care.
The bongo antelope Tragelaphus eurycerus belongs to the genus of forest antelopes and inhabits Central Africa from Sierra Leone to Kenya and Uganda.
Its habitat is forests with dense undergrowth. These antelopes climb mountains up to 3000 m above sea level. There are seasonal migrations: in the dry season - to mountain forests, in the rainy season - to rivers.
Bongos reach a weight of 200 kg, a height at the withers of 100-130 cm. The horns have a slightly pronounced spiral and are more than a meter in length. The color is bright, chestnut-red, with white stripes on the sides, white markings on the legs and a semi-lunar spot on the chest. There is a stiff short mane along the ridge. They feed on bongos, tree leaves and grass
The angler cat, the speckled cat, or the wyvern cat.
It lives in subtropical and tropical regions of Southeast Asia.
The special structure of the nose helps him to hold his breath, and small ears, tightly pressed to the head, are reliably protected from water ingress.
In addition, the webbing on the paws helps the cat swim, because of which the claws are only half retracted.
During the day, an adult cat ( weighing 10-14 kg ) eats about 2 kg of fish. Its diet also includes frogs, crabs, snails, birds, mice and even snakes.
The Earth wolf.
The smallest representative of the hyena family.
It lives in Southern and Eastern Africa.
This animal spat on the preferences of its relatives.
He lives in monogamous families in burrows and eats termites with both cheeks.
Yes, yes, 90% of their diet is termites, sometimes other insects, bird eggs and small mammals.
Indian giant squirrel.
It lives in the forests of South and Southeast Asia, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
These squirrels are brightly colored and have an impressive tail that can be almost twice as long as their body.
Their size is impressive - the body length can reach 60 cm, and such a protein can weigh up to 1.5 kg.
Indian giant squirrels lead an arboreal lifestyle, spending most of their time in trees. They feed on fruits, nuts and shoots.
The cat bear 🐼
Red pandas are slightly larger than an ordinary cat. The largest males barely reach 15 kg. Red pandas have a unique body structure that allows them to be perfect acrobats.
A velvety-soft ball of brown fur with two golden saucers for eyes, tarsier is also one of the strangest animals.

If you are an arboreal mammal and live in Australia, you are absolutely not immune from the snake-like strangling embrace of a bush python.
These versatile hunters use their powerful and muscular bodies to climb trees. To do this, they use a technique known as "accordion movement," in which the snake alternately stretches and contracts parts of its body to push itself up. By attaching a part of its body to a branch or the trunk itself, the snake pulls the front part of its body up.
A wild brown bear snaps its fangs. Such stunning sounds are a protective manifestation of a frightened or surprised bear. A warning that you are too close!

Wallaby.
Small kangaroos found in Australia and New Guinea.
This animal weighs no more than 10 kg. But it can cover huge distances, reaching speeds of up to 56 km/ h.
The mottled-billed selenidera Selenidera maculirostris belongs, as you might guess, to the family of toucans.
These beauties live in the forests of the southeastern part of Brazil (Atlantic Forest), as well as in Argentina and Paraguay.
Body length 35 cm, weight 140-200 g. The backs of both the male and the female are olive green.
They are most often found in pairs sitting on the branches of tropical trees in the middle or upper tier of the forest. They feed on fruits and insects
An adult bison almost never weighs less than a ton. Despite their impressive size, they are able to reach speeds of up to 65 km/h and jump up to 1.8 meters in height.

The short-tailed indri (babakoto) Indri indri is the largest living lemur and lives in northeastern Madagascar.
The height of the indri is 65-90 cm - but the tail, unlike all other lemurs, is very short, 4-5 cm. Weight 6.5-9.5 kg. The hind legs are very long, the thumbs are enlarged and opposed to the rest of the fingers.
The coat is very thick with a white-gray-black pattern, which can vary in appearance. Individuals in the south of the range are lighter in color, and darker in the north. The head, ears and back of all Indri are usually black. The ears are large and shaggy, the muzzle is almost hairless.
Indri live in trees and come down to earth only occasionally. They move through the branches primarily with the help of their strong hind legs, jumping from branch to branch or climbing up and down. On earth, indri move, like all members of the family, jumping on their hind legs and raising their front paws in the air.
Albino Giraffe
Albino giraffes are extremely rare in the wild, as their survival rate is low due to poor eyesight and higher vulnerability to predators.
White giraffes can be more visible to predators, which makes them easy prey.
The frog is a slingshot.
It lives in tropical and subtropical forests.
It is known for its large size (the female reaches 20 cm, the male is slightly smaller.) and aggressive behavior. But few people know that slingshot frogs have an amazing ability to "freeze" their bodies during hibernation.
When the cold season comes, slingshot frogs can go into a state of cryogenic anaerobiosis, where they can freeze their organs and tissues to very low temperatures, allowing them to survive in extreme conditions. When spring comes and the temperature rises, the slingshot frogs are reborn, from a dormant state.
The crowned eagle Stephanoaetus coronatus is a large and powerful bird of prey found in tropical sub-Saharan Africa. This is the only currently existing representative of the genus of crowned eagles. The second species was the Malagasy crowned eagle, which became extinct after humans began to live in Madagascar.
The large crest (often raised) combined with the very large size makes the recognition of an adult bird almost unmistakable, even from a distance.
The crowned eagle has a long tail and wide rounded wings. The combination of these two elements makes it extremely fast - therefore it is the only eagle that actively hunts monkeys.
Monkeys are very alert and fast, which makes it difficult to hunt them, especially in a group. Male and female crowned eagles often hunt in pairs - while one eagle distracts the monkeys, the other carries off the prey. Powerful paws and massive claws can kill a monkey with one blow.
The Malay flying fox is large but harmless.
These are some of the largest bats in the world. At the same time, they should not be afraid, because flying foxes feed on fruits, flowers and leaves.
It's hard to call it a fight, but here you can clearly see how kangaroos use their tails, which can be called a fifth limb without hesitation.
Without a tail, kangaroos would not be able to move, stand up straight, or fight. This is very important when the kangaroo is moving at high speed; when its tail swings in sync with its legs, helping it, creating additional momentum forward and preventing the kangaroo from falling backwards.
As you can clearly see in this video, kangaroos can only hold their entire body weight on one tail, which allows them to stretch their legs towards the threat.
The ghostly tree frog (crowned ghost tree frog) Anotheca spinosa lives in the humid rainforests of Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico and Peru.
The ghost frog is often called the crowned frog because of the series of sharp protrusions adorning its head. A pair of large round eyes of copper or bronze color looks out from under this "crown". Several sharp spikes are scattered on the back of the mysterious tree frog.
Its mottled grayish-brown color almost does not differ from the color of fallen foliage or tree bark, and its nocturnal lifestyle and cautious nature make these tree frogs almost elusive.
The male's invocative singing can be heard a hundred meters from the hollow in which the performer himself is located. The male assigns a date to the future partner in a hollow filled with water, a bamboo trunk or giant leaves.
Baby king penguins hatch naked, and within a few weeks they grow downy feathers. Down feathers are not waterproof, so chicks should stay out of the water until they shed.
While the parent penguins are hunting, their chicks remain in the "manger", only a few adult birds look after them.
The largest colony of puffins is found off the coast of Iceland, where more than 50% of the global population of these birds lives.

The kiwi bird.
This is an amazing creature, unlike other birds.
It is a small flightless bird that lives in New Zealand.
It is very surprising that kiwis do not have wings, but their place is taken by short feathers similar to hair, and a strikingly long and curved beak is used to search for worms and insects in the soil.
One of the most amazing facts about kiwis is that female kiwis have the largest egg compared to their own body size. The weight of an egg can be up to 20% of the weight of the bird itself. This is very unusual for birds, given their small size.
