Do you know seahorses?

All about seahorses!

Seahorses are fish. They are truly unique,

and not just because of their unusual
Read equine shape. Unlike most other fish, they
are monogamous and mate for life. They
are the only animal species on Earth in

Lee el artículo. Found in tropical and temperate waters,
these upright-swimming can range in size
from 0.6 inches (1.5 centimeters) to 14
inches (35 centimeters) long. His average
lifespan in the wild is 1 to 5 years
(estimated).

Male seahorses are equipped with a small bag on their ventral, or

front-facing, side. When mating, the female deposits her eggs into his
small bag, and the male fertilizes them internally. He carries the eggs
until they are fully formed into miniature seahorses.

Because of their body shape, seahorses are not good swimmers and
can easily die of fatigue when caught in storm-roiled seas but they
push themselves by using a small fin on their back that moves up to
35 times per second and they also have smaller pectoral fins located
near the back of the head that are used for finding direction.

Seahorses have no teeth and no stomach, but food passes through

their digestive systems so quickly, and they must eat constantly to
stay alive. They anchor themselves with their tails to sea grasses and
corals, but by using their big nose to suck in plankton or small
crustaceans that are around. They can consume 3,000 or more
shrimps per day.

Learn more about koalas!

This animal is often called "koala bear," but this sweet

animal is not a bear at all; it is a marsupial, or pouched
mammal, it has a small bag to carry its babies. They are fat
and hairy, most of them are gray.

After birth, a female carries a single baby in its pouch for

about six months. When the baby koala grows, it rides on
its mother's back or stays in her stomach, accompanying
her everywhere until it is about a year old.

Koalas live in eastern Australia. They love eucalyptus trees.

In fact, they are always on these trees. During the day they
sleep up to 18 hours.
When not asleep a koala eats eucalyptus leaves, especially at night. Koalas do not
drink much water, they get it from the leaves. Each animal eats about two and a half
pounds (one kilogram) of leaves a day. They eat so many of these leaves that they
take on a unique odor from their oil.

Koalas need a lot of space—about 100 trees per animal, a pressing problem as
Australia's woodlands continue to reduce.

1. Read the following article.

Leopards, big cats!

Leopards are powerful and fierce big cats related to lions,

tigers, and jaguars. They live in Africa, Central Asia, India, and
China.

When they hunt large animals to eat, they always take the bodies
up to the trees, to keep them safe from hunters such as hyenas.

First they walk cautiously in the branches, where their spotted coats allow them to
camouflage with the leaves. Then they jump to attack. During this process they act always
silently and slowly. Finally they execute his prey. These nocturnal predators also hunt
antelopes, deers, and pigs by silent movements in the tall grass. When human settlements
are present, leopards often attack dogs and, occasionally, people.

Leopards are also good swimmers. In the water they sometimes eat fish or crabs. They
never eat grass or vegetables.

Female leopards always protect their babies. They always hide them and move them from
one safe location to the next until they can play and learn to hunt. The babies live with their
mothers for about two years.

Leopards are light colored with characteristic dark spots that are called rosettes, because
they look like the shape of a rose.

Loxodonta africana

Imagine if you had a machine that could prepare all your meals,
give you a shower, carry your backpack and provide sound
effects for a variety of social occasions.You may not be able to
find one in stores, but the African elephant is lucky enough to
carry one with him at all times. If you haven’t already guessed it,
we’re talking of the trunk—and this big guy is really kind of
attached to his! The African elephant’s trunk is actually an
extension of his upper lip and nose, and he uses it for drinking,
greeting friends, trumpeting, lifting and grasping. And like any
self-respecting nose, this one’s good for smelling, too. But most
importantly, the elephant uses his trunk to gather and bring food
to his mouth. And we don’t mean a berry here and a blade of
grass there. To keep his 13,000-pound self strong and healthy,
an African elephant needs to consume more than 300 pounds of
grass, shrubs, leaves and fruit a day. Pass the salad, please!

California Condor
Gymnogyps californianus: Vulture Culture

Look, up in the sky! (We mean WAY up, as in 15,000 feet!)

It's a bird, all right—the mighty California condor! And with all due
respect to that tall dude with yellow feathers on Sesame Street, this
high flyer holds the title of the largest bird in North America. Weighing
up to 25 pounds, he's got a wingspan of 9 1/2 feet and can glide for
hours at 55 mph without once beating his wings. If that sounds hard,
well...it is. It takes a year for young condors to sharpen their soaring
skills. The California condor is a vulture, a type of bird recognizable
by his big size and bald head. And like his vulture cousins, the
California condor chows down on carrion. That's the meat of dead
animals, such as cattle, sheep, deer and horses. It may sound gross
to you, but just think—he's part of nature's clean-up crew. And
besides, he always washes up after dinner by rubbing his head and
neck against grass, rocks and trees. No rinsing
needed!http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=kids_abcs

 Panda
Ailuropoda melanoleuca: BamBOO!

Forget about getting a quick bite to eat! China's giant

panda devotes 12 hours of every day to eating! To get
all the nutrition he needs, he has to consume about 15
percent of his bodyweight daily. That comes out to
between 28 and 36 pounds of bamboo, his meal of
choice. Luckily, he has special chewing muscles and
broad, flat teeth for all that bamboo chomping.

He's got special markings, too. We may think pandas

are totally cute, but their black eyes and big, black
circles on their faces may look like 2 pairs of giant,
glaring, staring eyes to animals who try to invade their
territory.

For more information, and to see what a real live

panda is doing right now, at the San Diego Zoo.
