1. Pangolins
1) Chinese Pangolin
2) Phatagininae / Small African Pangolin
3) Smutsia / African Pangolin
1
A fully grown Chinese Pangolin is weighted 3.6 kg and 38 cm longs
(Adults).
A Pangolin eats ants, insects , larvae and termites.
Pangolin are nocturnal, solitary animals
that spend most of their on
the ground.
They are also good climbers.
2
They’ve dug out often next to an ant or termite mounds or in
passageways vacated by termites.
Chinese Pangolins can be found in the Himalayan foothills in
Eastern Nepal, Bhutan, Northern India, North-East Bangladesh and
through Southern China.
• Pangolins prefer sandy soils and can be found in woodlands
and savannas that are within
reach of water. They are dispersed
throughout Southern, Central, and
East Africa.

Male pangolins often fight each other for females in the
mating seasons. The winner will mate with the female
pangolin, with the mating period generally lasting three
to five days. Female pangolins have two to five estrous
cycles during the mating season, and each will last for
11-26 days, until pregnancy
Pangolins are not blind, but their eyesight is poor.
Now days, around 300 pangolins
are poached every day, making
these unusual animals the most
illegally trafficked mammals in the
world. Around 300 pangolins get killed
each day. 5
2. Spiny Mammals
1) Proechimy / South American spiny rat
2) Hedgehog
3) Tenrecs
6
1) Proechimy / South American spiny rat
Spiny rats of the genus Proechimys (Family, Echimydae;
Suborder, Hystricomorpha) are mammals inhabiting the
ground of moist neotropical forests in Central and South
America.
Gestation period: Tome's spiny rat: 66 days.
Tome's spiny rats range from Central America in
Nicaragua, Costa Rica
and Panama to the Pacific lowlands of South
America in Ecuador and
Colombia.
Proechimys have stiff fur and narrow flexible
spines.

3) Hedgehog
• Hedgehogs’ eyesight is poor, they have good hearing and
a well-developed sense of smell. Hedgehogs are good
runners, proficient climbers and can even swim.
• When she submits, mating occurs in the same manner
as other mammals: The female is mounted by the male
from behind. During mating, she flattens her spines against
her back. After their act of union, the couple separate. There
is no “marriage” between hedgehogs.
A typical diet includes:
Beetles.
Earwigs.
Caterpillars, Earthworms, Millipedes
and fly larvae 8
2) Tenrecs
Tenrecs are found in the arid regions of southern
Madagascar,
where they live in dry forests, coastal regions, scrub and
semi-desert
areas. To seek shelter, tenrecs make dens in tree cavities.
• Following a period of torpor during the
cold season, these tenrecs mate after
they emerge from the den, usually in
October. Gestation is 61 to 68 days
after which a litter of 5 to 7 (but up to 10)
youngsters is born, usually during the
wet season when more prey is available.

3. Fish that give birth and have no scales
1) Sea horse
2) Pipefish
3) Sea dragon
10
1) Sea horse
• A sea horse can ran 1.5 meters.
• Seahorses are mainly found in shallow tropical and
temperate salt water throughout the world, from
about 45°S to 45°N. They live in sheltered areas such as
seagrass beds, estuaries, coral reefs, and mangroves. Four
species are found in Pacific waters from North America to
South America.
• Seahorses do not have teeth; they suck
in their food and swallow it whole. Thus
their prey needs to be very small.
Primarily, seahorses feed on plankton,
small fish and small crustaceans,
such as shrimp and copepods.
11
2) Pipefish
• Pipefishes are found in tropical and subtropical regions.
They are primarily marine; however, some may enter and
even live in freshwater environments. Pipefishes have
diverse lifestyles; they usually inhabit coastal marine areas
where they can feed and hide among the sea grasses,
• especially
The pipefisheelgrasses, or tiny
eats mostly coral reefs.
crustaceans. Northern pipefish
may also feed on fish eggs, very
small juvenile fish and other small
aquatic animals.
• Pipefish grow 6 to 8 inches in
length and have long, thin bodies
covered with rings of bony plates.
12
3. Sea dragon
• The leafy sea dragon eats small shrimplike animals called
mysids that live among the algae and seagrasses. A
sea dragon's tubelike mouth works like a drinking straw; a
hungry dragon waits until its prey ventures near, then slurps
it up. Each day, a single sea dragon may slurp up thousands
of mysid shrimp.
• Close kin to seahorses, the leafy sea
dragon doesn't live on tropical reefs,
but in the cooler rocky reefs off
south and western Australia.
There, this rare fish, with its leaflike
fins and frilly appendages, is perfectly
camouflaged among seaweeds 13 and
4. Birds (cannot fly )
1) Rhea
2) Weka
3) Steamer Duck
14
1)Steamer Duck
Three out of four species of steamer duck are flightless, but
four out of four species should not be messed with. Even
within the flighted species, some males are too heavy to
actually achieve liftoff. These South American ducks earned
their name by running across water and thrashing their
wings like the wheels on a steamboat. They use them for
other forms of thrashing, too. Famously aggressive, steamer
ducks are known to engage in epic, bloody battles with each
other over territory disputes. They have even been
known to kill waterbirds several times their
size.
15
2) Rhea
• Rheas are the largest South American bird. They
weigh between 33 and 66 pounds (15 and 30
kilograms) and stand 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters)
tall. Males are typically larger than the females.
• The greater rhea is found
in southeastern South America,
including Brazil, Bolivia,
Uruguay, Paraguay and
Argentina, where it lives in
grassland and semiarid scrubland.
During the breeding season, rheas
stay near rivers, lakes or marshes.
16
3) Weka Bird
• These Weka were once widespread, but on the mainland
they are now only found in the hills between Matawai
and Opotiki where a few thousand survive. Since 2000,
Weka have been released near Russell, in the Whirinaki
Forest and there is a small population on the margins of
the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland.
• Weka mainly eat invertebrates and
fruit. They occasionally eat chitons
and other rocky coast invertebrates,
lizards, rodents, food scraps, carrion,
and the eggs and young of other
ground nesting birds. Weka
populations are subject to large

5. Water Reptiles
1) Marine Iguanas
2) Saltwater crocodile
3) Black caiman
18
1) Marine Iguanas
• Marine iguanas are the only lizards on Earth that
spends time in the ocean. They live only on
the Galapagos Islands, and like many Galapagos
species, they have adapted to an island lifestyle.
Populations across the archipelago have been
isolated from each other for so long that each island

both in subtidal and deeper, cooler
water. Their blunt noses and sharp teeth
allow them to easily graze on the algae
growing on rocks. They have also been
seen eating grasshoppers, crustaceans
and, on some islands, plants19that grow
2) Saltwater crocodile
• Saltwater crocodiles have a huge range that extends
from northern Australia to eastern India and South-
east Asia. As their name suggests, saltwater crocodiles are
able to live in coastal habitats, but they are comfortable in
freshwater rivers as well.
• Saltwater crocodiles mostly eat
fish, but will eat almost anything
that they can overpower which
can include turtles, goannas,
snakes, birds, livestock (cattle),
buffalo, wild boar and mud
crabs. Hatchlings and juvenile
crocodiles feed on insects,

3) Black caiman
• The black caiman is found in the Amazon River basin.
This aquatic reptile occurs in shallow, freshwater habitats
such as slow-moving rivers, streams and lakes, and
ventures into flooded savannah and wetlands.
• Fish comprise the major part
of an adult black caiman's
diet (especially piranha fish
and catfish), but they also
tackle birds, turtles, and
large mammals. Mature adults
have no predators making them
one of the apex predators in their
