Albino alligators are alligators that lack the ability to produce melanin in their skin. This genetic defect gives their skin a yellowish white appearance and the eyes generally cast a pinkish hue due to the visible blood vessels in the colorless irises. This lack of pigment, though viewed as beautiful, has its downside. Most albino alligators rarely make it to adulthood because they are not able to camouflage themselves making them an easy target in the wild. Their skin is said to be extremely sensitive to sunlight in which too much sun will burn their skin. Leucism (LOO-sism) is often confused with Albinism, in which Leucistic animals produce small amounts of melanin which gives their eyes a rich blue cast and their skin a creamy porcelain white color. Myth has it that if you look into the eyes of an albino alligator it will bring you good luck.
Just 5 feet long, the African dwarf crocodile is is one of the smallest crocodile species. Rainforests, swamps, and slow-moving rivers of West Africa give it the perfect habitat. This croc looks for food at night and eats mostly small animals like crabs, snails, frogs, and fish.
African dwarf crocodiles are great mothers. After mating, a female lays her eggs in a mound of leaves, to keep them warm. She guards her nest until the eggs hatch, and then watches over her babies.
One may wonder where to find an American Alligator. American Alligators are indigenous the south eastern United States being mostly found in Florida and Louisiana. Just one look at these large enormous armored scaled reptiles, with their massive jaws and distinctive bellowing calls, an it is obvious they are relatives from the prehistoric past. Alligators are said to exist some 150 million years ago and have survived their coevals, the dinosaurs, who became extinct some 65 million years ago. Alligators spend most of the time sunning themselves soaking up as much heat as they can during the spring and summer months. They use their massive bone scales called “osteoderms” to help with thermal regulation. Alligators are ectothermic and require an external heat source “the sun” to aid in digestion and proper bodily function. Many people consider alligators to be eating machines, but the simple fact is, they only average about 50-60 lbs of food per year.
Zebras are African equines with distinctive black-and-white striped coats. There are three living species: the Grévy’s zebra, plains zebra, and the mountain zebra. Zebras share the genus Equus with horses and asses, the three groups being the only living members of the family Equidae.
The giraffe is a large African hoofed mammal belonging to the genus Giraffa. It is the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on Earth. Traditionally, giraffes were thought to be one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies.
The orca, also called killer whale, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. It is the only extant species in the genus Orcinus and is recognizable by its black-and-white patterned body.
A dolphin is an aquatic mammal within the infraorder Cetacea. Dolphin species belong to the families Delphinidae, Platanistidae, Iniidae, Pontoporiidae, and possibly extinct Lipotidae. There are 40 extant species named as dolphins.
A rhinoceros or rhinoceroses), commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae (it can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea).
Hyena are dog-like mammals native to parts of Asia and Africa. Once ranging across Africa, Asia and Europe, hyenas are mostly limited to the African Savannah today, with the exception of the striped hyena inhabiting the jungles of India and western Asia. Hyenas live in savannas, grasslands, forests and sub-deserts. They are one of the most abundant large carnivores in Africa.
There are four known species of hyena: the striped hyena, the spotted hyena, the brown hyena and the aardwolf. All four hyena species have a bear-like stance. Their front legs are longer than their back legs. The brown hyena, the striped hyena and the aardwolf have striped manes on top of their neck that stand erect when the hyena is frightened. The spotted hyena’s mane is much shorter than the other hyena species and stands erect most of the time.
Male and female hyenas appear very similar and have similar genitals, but they are not hermaphrodites (animals that are both male and female). Only female hyenas give birth.
The largest hyena is the spotted hyena. The smallest hyena is the aardwolf.
Kangaroos have powerful hind legs and short, thumbless forelimbs. Kangaroos can travel at speeds up to 30 miles per hour and can leap some 30 feet. Kangaroos use their long tails for balancing. Their bodies are covered in thick, coarse, wooly hair that can be shades of gray, brown or red. Kangaroos are marsupials, which means that females carry newborns, or “joeys,” in a pouch on the front of their abdomens.
Kangaroos have developed a number of adaptations to a dry, infertile continent and a highly variable climate. As with all marsupials, the young are born at a very early stage of development after a gestation of 31 to 36 days. At this stage, only the forelimbs are somewhat developed, to allow the newborn to climb to the pouch and attach to a teat. In comparison, a human embryo at a similar stage of development would be about 7 weeks old, and premature babies born at less than 23 weeks are usually not mature enough to survive.
Whilst wild population numbers aren’t of immediate concern overall, some sub-populations of brown bear are critically endangered from threats such as habitat loss and hunting according to the IUCN’s Red List.
Brown bears have also suffered from human activity in the name of entertainment.
Polar bears are the largest species of bear and the only place in the world they can be found is in in the Arctic. Whilst the polar bear does look adorable with its white fur, they are in fact one of the most ferocious hunters on the planet and one of the largest land carnivores.
Polar bears are a solitary species. They tend to spend their days hunting by seal breathing holes waiting for one to come up for air. This type of hunting is known as still-hunting.
It is estimated by the IUCN that there are between 22-31,000 polar bears in the world. Polar bears are extremely strong swimmers and have been spotted in the open Arctic ocean as far as 200 miles from land.
Whilst the giant panda is considered a national treasure in China there are less than 1,860 left in the wild. 99% of a panda’s diet consists of bamboo.
Giant pandas have a special bone that extends from their wrists called a “pseudo-thumb,”. This “thumb” is used to hold and manipulate bamboo. During the summer the panda will climb as high as 13,000 feet up the mountains of the areas they live in during the summer so they can feed.
A giant panda living in the wild has a life span of approximately 20 years.
Elephants play an important role in maintaining their habitat. They’re grazers and browsers, eating large amounts of vegetation every day – which helps shape the landscapes they live in.
