Marbled Cat Facts The Marbled Cat is an extremely reclusive species of small wild cat endemic to a severely restricted range. The IUCN lists this truly amazing rare mammal officially as Vulnerable, pending further evaluation of its numbers. In fact, evidence indicates that fewer than ten thousand individuals may remain surviving, presenting fears of extinction. The primary […]Read More
Tree Kangaroo Facts Firstly, the gorgeous Tree Kangaroo represents a unique genus of kangaroo. Most notably, this remarkable animal actually evolved into a primarily arboreal creature. The majority of known members in this incredible genus remain considered to be threatened with extinction. The principal reasons for this include habitat loss and hunting. Individuals typically remain very slow and clumsy on […]Read More
Bandicoot Facts Firstly, Bandicoot serves as the common name of a group of about 20 species. Further, all of these evolved as small to medium-sized marsupial omnivores. Also, all are endemic to single continent, although the varying species of this animal attain different sizes. However, they are all of comparable sizes with the common […]Read More
Dwarf Sperm Whale Facts Most notably, the incredible Dwarf Sperm Whale ranks as the smallest of all known cetaceans considered whales. When spotted, however, observers often mistake this creature for a visually similar, and only slightly larger related species. In addition, the mammal remains quite reclusive, only rarely being seen. Thus, experts have no exact […]
Irrawaddy Dolphin Facts The awesome Irrawaddy Dolphin is a both truly fabulous, and highly distinctive looking cetacean. Sadly, however, the creature also has an extremely disjointed population concentration. Sir Richard Owen first identified this fascinating mammal back in 1866. But, at that time, the amazing creature was believed to be, and thus misidentified as, a […]
Caracal Facts Firstly, while often confused with the Lynx, the rather gorgeous Caracal actually bears a closer relationship to other felines. However, unlike other wild felines, this beautiful animal has, sadly, been tamed and used for hunting for thousands of years. Also setting it apart from related species is the fact that it still, for […]
Vaquita Facts The remarkable Vaquita represents a rather unique member of the family containing porpoises. In addition, in terms of size, it remains the smallest of all ocean-dwelling forms of cetacean. Sadly, it also currently ranks as the most highly endangered type of cetacean known to man. Also, as of March 2018, the known population […]
Bald Uakari Facts Perhaps the most notable thing about the rather astonishing Bald Uakari remains its physical appearance. Due to that characteristic alone, it easily ranks as one of the most distinctive simians known to researchers. Yet, more fascinating facts about the animal remain. First of all, currently, a total of only four known subspecies […]
Polar Bear Facts Firstly, growing to roughly the same size as the Kodiak, the magnificent Polar Bear represents one of the two largest species of bear on earth. It has also, rather understandably, evolved to fill a highly specific ecological niche, given the unique nature of its environment. Also, aside from the native Inuits who have […]
Fennec Fox Facts The amazingly distinctive looking Fennec Fox represents a small variety of fox that evolved as endemic to a moderately restricted, and rather harsh, environment. Its most distinctive feature remains its remarkable oversized ears. In addition to providing it with excellent hearing, these also serve as a means of dissipating heat. It also […]
Scottish Wildcat Facts First of all, the rather surprising Scottish Wildcat holds a very specific claim to fame, in a manner of speaking. That’s because it represents a variety of wild feline that virtually no one outside of its endemic range knows exists. That’s partly due to the fact that it strongly resembles a domestic […]
Goose-Beaked Whale Facts The often-overlooked Goose-Beaked Whale actually represents the most widely distributed of all known varieties of beaked whales. The scientific name of this rather remarkable animal (Ziphius cavirostris) derives from a combination of both Greek and Latin words. The first known description of this species occurred in 1823, by French anatomist Georges Cuvier. […]
Bharal Facts The astonishing Bharal lives in an extremely rugged and remote section of Asia. So remote is its habitat range, that few outsiders ever see this amazing creature. This animal has been little-studied. In fact, the first serious scientific observations of this rather remarkable ruminant did not occur until 1973. Previously, this fascinating recluse […]
