The African golden cat Caracal aurata lives in the tropical rain forests of Equatorial Africa, occurring from Senegal to northern Angola and from the Congo in the west to southern Kenya in the east. Its main population lives in the Congo basin and in the surrounding territories.
The golden cat has the same ancestor with the caracal and serval, who lived about 5 million years ago, so all these cats belong to the same genus Caracal.
A golden cat is about twice as big as a domestic one. The body length is 90-120 cm, and the tail accounts for 1/3 of the total length; the height at the withers is 40-50 cm. The average weight of males is 11-14 kg.
There is little data on the life of these cats in nature, as they are secretive and quite rare. They lead a solitary lifestyle, hunting mainly at night, and resting on the branches of trees during the day.
The parrot kea Nestor notabilis is endemic to New Zealand, outwardly similar to a falcon or a small eagle with a large head and a predatory, downward-curved beak. Despite its relatively small size, kea has remarkable strength and flies perfectly.
Body length about 45 cm, weight 600-1000 g. The color of the plumage is dominated by olive green, sometimes slightly brownish color, under the wings the feathers are painted bright red. Paws are gray. The name is onomatopoeic, derived from the loud cry: "keee-aa".
They are known for their exploratory behavior and the ability to deftly use their beak, which, combined with developed curiosity, makes them a scourge for locals and entertainment for tourists. Nicknamed the "clowns of the mountains", they do not miss the opportunity to explore the contents of backpacks or cars that they liked.
Duikers or crested antelopes live in sub-Saharan Africa.
