The alphabet goes A,M,B,B? WOW, I learn so much on Pikapet. Lolz <3

I'll just do a C, and Ronnie is banned until he learns his ABCs x3

Corn Snake (Snake :P)

1. Sometimes called a Red Rat Snake

2. Is about 1.2- 1.8 metres or 4–6 ft long

3. They are found throughout the south eastern and central US.

Despite its name, the waterbuck is not actually aquatic. Rather, they are frequently found in the vicinity of rivers and lakes. They will often venture into the water to escape predators.

Within all of the species in this genus, the waterbuck spends the least amount of time in wet areas, often venturing out into woodlands.

Elephant  ( the african savanna elephant and asian elephant)

1:Elephants are plant-eaters. Because they are such big animals, they need to eat large amounts of leaves, grass and tree bark. They spend as much as twenty hours a day eating! A full-grown African elephant can weigh more than 10,000 pounds!

2: The elephant four teeth are molars. About every four years, the molars fall out and are replaced by new ones. The molars of an adult elephant can be up to ten inches long!

3: Elephants talk to each other by making sounds called "tummy rumbles." They also make a "trumpeting" sound to call to each other.

Fairy penguin

Iguana -

The two species of lizard within the genus Iguana possesses a dewlap, a row of spines running down their back to their tail, and a third eye on their head. This eye is known as the Parietal eye, which looks just like a pale scale on the top of their head. Behind their neck are small scales which resemble spikes, known as tuberculate scales. They also have a large round scale on their cheek known as a subtympanic shield.

Iguanas have excellent vision and can see long distances, shapes, shadows, color and movement. An iguana uses its eyes to navigate through winding trees and confusing forests, as well as finding food. They also use visual signals to communicate with members of the same species.

Hearing

An iguana's ear is known as the tympanum. It is the iguana's ear drum, and is located right above the subtympanic shield and behind the eye. This is a very thin, delicate, part of the iguana, and crucial to its hearing.

I will do  K as well.

Kangaroo Rat

1  Pouched rodent

2  Comes from the South West U.S.A. and Mexico

3  Has elongated hind limbs and tail

And here is L

LEMUR

1  Small aboreal, mostly nocturnal mammal related to monkeys

2  Has a foxlike face and soft fur

3  found chiefly in Madagascar

So far there are 15 known species of Lemur

Dwarf Lemurs (Cheirogaleus sp.) Hairy-eared Dwarf Lemur (Allocebus trichotis) Mouse Lemurs (Microcebus sp.) Giant Mouse Lemurs (Mirza sp.) Forked-Crowned Lemurs/Fork-Marked Lemurs (Phaner sp.) Ring-Tailed Lemur (Lemur catta) True Lemurs (Eulemur sp.) Bamboo Lemurs (Hapalemur sp.) Greater Bamboo Lemur (Prolemur simus) Ruffed Lemurs (Varecia sp.) Sportive Lemurs (Lepilemur sp.) Indri's (Indri indri indri) Woolly Lemurs (Avahi sp.) Safaka's (Propithecus sp.) Aye aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis)

They are becoming extinct quicker than any other primates and also new species of Lemur are being discovered more frequently out of all the primates! Lemurs are prosimians and are the oldest primates! Sorry, i'm a huge primate fanatic, couldn't resist putting in a little input! :P

And finally  M

MAMMOTH

1  A very large elephant , once very abundant.

2  Now extinct

3  Had thick hairy coat and long, curved tusks

Thanks Boston, this is a fun game.

      nile crocodile (crcodylus niloticus
 

Range: Wide ranging in much of Africa south of the Sahara, populations exist on the western side of Madagascar

Habitat: Due to the Nile Crocodiles extensive natural range the habitat varies widely.  Fresh water is a must for the crocodile but the source varies widely from rivers to lakes and estuaries

Size: Averages 13', accounts of animals over 20' have been reported but not verified, undoubtedly one of the largest of living crocodilians.  Male Nile crocs in excess of 1,500 pounds have been verified.

Status: In certain countries the Nile Crocodile faces expatriation, in others farming and conservation have produced very healthy populations.

Rain Forest Facts: Much has been written about this amazing predator of Africa, this Crocodilian is arguably the most studied of all Crocodilian species, with the possible exception of the American Alligator.  Widely believed to be a man-eater the facts are very difficult to establish, this crocodile shares it's natural habitat with hippopotamus as well as lions and other large predators that compete with humans for both food and water.  Encounters with these animals are inevitable over time for the local populations. 

Female Nile Crocodiles produce large clutches of eggs, up to 60 have been reported.  The female builds a nest of vegetation, or excavates a sand nest, depending on location.   Incubation is reported to average 80 days, with variations of 10 days reported on either side of the average.  Nest temperature has an impact on the sex determination of the babies. 

Female Nile Crocodiles guard their nest as vigorously as any species of crocodilian.   Predators still manage to account for high mortality among both eggs and hatchlings.   Humans will often trick the female away from the nest to gather the much coveted eggs.  Monitor lizards as well as predatory birds will dig nests, large carnivores such as hyenas often are able to grab young crocodiles as they exit the nest.   Male Nile crocs have been seen assisting in both the guarding of the nest and assisting the babies to the water.

Young Nile crocodiles will remain with the female for an extended period of time, as with most species of crocodilians the young will avoid adult male crocodiles, cannibalism is not unheard of with all species of crocodiles.

Growing fairly rapidly, the young Crocodiles will begin to consume larger and larger food items. Fish and aquatic creatures such as turtles comprise a large portion of their diets until they reach very large sizes.  Much has been documented of certain Nile crocodiles awaiting the annual migration of the zebra and wildebeest, an adult Nile Crocodile is capable of consuming very large percentages of it's own body weight.  An adult zebra may weigh in excess of 600 pounds, several adult Nile Crocodiles have been observed feeding on the carcasses of both adult zebras and water buffalo.  Occasionally Nile Crocodiles will submerge with prey and secure the food item under water with the aid of rocks or tree branches.  Much debate exists about the reasons for such behavior, one school of thought is that the crocodile is hiding its food item from other carnivores.  Another school of thought is that the crocodiles use the water to soften the food item for ease of consumption. 

The future for the Nile Crocodile looks good, as more and more nations embrace ecotourism and understand the economical reasons to protect wildlife keystone species such as the Nile Crocodile will benefit from this positive trend.  Not all nations protect their natural resources in the same fashion and the Nile Crocodile will undoubtedly fair better in certain geographical regions then others, the animals wide natural range will have far reaching positive implications for it over time.

The recorded bite strength for this species of crocodilian is 3,000 pounds per square inch, over 10 times stronger than a human.

Otter

Otter, name for a number of aquatic, carnivorous mammals of the weasel family, found on all continents except Australia. The common river otters of Eurasia and the Americas are species of the genus Lutra. The North American river otter, L. canadensis, ranges from N Alaska and Canada to the S United States. Its slender body is 212 to 3 ft (76–91 cm) long, excluding the 12-in. (30-cm), heavy tail; it weighs from 10 to 25 lb (4–10 kg). It has thick, glossy brown fur, which is commercially valuable. The head is flattened, the legs are short, and the hind feet are webbed. An agile swimmer, it fishes in streams and lakes, along the banks of which it makes its burrow. It also eats frogs, crayfish, and other water animals. Although it spends most of its time in water, it makes overland trips on occasion. The otter is a social and playful animal; groups have been seen playing follow the leader, sliding down mudbanks, or tobogganing in the snow, apparently for the sake of pleasure. Of the freshwater otters, the South American giant otter, Pteronura brasiliensis, is the most highly modified for aquatic life. Its highly streamlined body is up to 7 ft (213 cm) long, the tail is keeled, and the feet are short, webbed, and nearly useless on land. Its mouth is set under the muzzle, like that of a shark. Hunted extensively for its fur, the giant otter may be in danger of extinction over much of its range. Otters of other genera are found in Africa and SE Asia. The sea otter, Enhydra lutris, found in and around the kelp beds of the N Pacific, is the only exclusively marine species, although river otters sometimes enter the ocean at the mouths of rivers. The sea otter swims on its back and in this position carries its cub and eats its meals of abalone, crab, and sea urchin, sometimes using a rock to smash open the shells. Relentless hunting of the animal led to its near extinction; however, it is now protected by international agreement. Otters are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Carnivora, family Mustelidae.

 Otterhound (MY PIkadate is one.)

Ch. Belle River Dixieland Jazz (THis is a photo of a dog off of www.dogbreedinfo.com)

1-The Otterhound is a large rough-coated dog with a shaggy face and bushy eyebrows.

2-The Otterhound is a bold and exuberant dog. Friendly, cheerful, loving and devoted, he makes a good companion.

3-The Otterhound needs a lot of daily exercise in a safe area or on a leash, and if possible, frequent swimming

4-The Otterhound is a rather old breed obtained from crossing among the Bloodhound with rough-haired Terriers, Griffons and Harriers. The otter, as the breed's name suggests, is this dog's preferred prey. Otterhounds were used in packs for controlling the otter population, since otter competed with fisherman for the natural trout supply in rivers.

Pocket Beagle
(Mini Beagle) (Olde English Pocket Beagle) (Miniature Beagle)

Riley, the Pocket Beagle puppy at 4 months old

   Photo from www.dogbreedinfo.com

1= A hardy, sturdy squarely-built, small hound. The Pocket Beagle has a sleek, easy-care, short coat, which can come in any hound color, for example, tri-color, black and tan, red and white, orange and white, or lemon and white. The coat is close, hard and of medium length. The Pocket Beagle looks like a small English Foxhound.

2= The Pocket Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! A happy little tail-wagger! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving

3= A smaller version of the standard Beagle. The smaller Beagle originated in England. Used as a hunting dog, it could travel under shrubs, brush and bushes and were used to hunt small animals such as rabbits. The name Old English Pocket Beagle originated because the hunters would carry the dogs in their saddle bags. It is said these original small size Beagles have become extinct, however they have been re-created and are now being bred once again.
