Rabbits

Dogs
 Animals
Penguins

A dog can identify a sound’s location much faster than a

human can, as well as hear sounds four times farther away than
humans. Dogs have a sense of smell ranging from 100,000 to
1,000,000 times more sensitive than a human’s; 100 million
times greater in bloodhounds. To locate a smell, a dog uses
his/her wet nose to determine the direction of the air current
that contains the smell they are following.
Local name: Aso
English name: Dog
Scientific name: Canis lupus familiaris
Both male and female penguins take turns caring for their eggs
and chicks.
While swimming, penguins jump out of the water in low arcs
(called porpoising). This act coats their feathers in tiny
bubbles, which helps reduce friction and allows them to swim
faster: up to 20 miles per hour (32 kph)!
Local name: Penguins
English name: Penguins
Scientific name: Spheniscidae
 Dolphins Butterflies

Dolphins are known to show altruism. They will stay with
injured or ill pod mates, even helping them to breathe by
bringing them to the surface if needed. This altruism is not
limited to members of their own species, but has crossed
species boundaries throughout time. They have performed such
heroic tasks as protecting humans from sharks and guiding a
sperm whale and her calf out of shallow water to safety. Each
dolphin has a uniquely identifying signature whistle, much
like an individual name.Dolphin clicks are among the loudest
sounds made by marine animals. Although they lack vocal cords,
these sounds are produced using six air sacs near their
blowholes.
Local name: Dolphin
English name: Dolphins
Scientific name: Tursiops
Butterflies often lay their eggs on plant species that have
toxic substances in them. The hatched caterpillars then eat
these plants, retaining the toxic substance in them into
adulthood and making the caterpillars unpalatable to birds and
other predators.
A butterfly’s sense of taste is 200 times stronger than ours!

Galapagos Tortoises Tuatara


The tuatara is a reptile unique to New Zealand. Tuatara may
have the slowest growth rates of any reptile, continuing to
grow larger for the first 35 years of their life. Their
average lifespan is about 60 years, but they can live to well
over 100 years old*.

Cows

Honey bees

Cows are devoted mothers and have been known to walk for miles
to find their calves. Cows have almost total 360-degree
panoramic vision. They also have an excellent sense of smell
and are able to detect odors 5-6 miles away. They can also
hear both high and low frequency sounds beyond human
capability.
The oldest cow on record, Big Bertha, was born in Ireland, and
died three months shy of her 49th birthday. An average cow’s
natural lifespan is 20-25 years.

Lobsters can live up to 60 years. They grow throughout their
lifespan, and are able to add new muscle cells at each molt.
They can stay mobile, agile and fertile as they age and older
lobsters may in fact be more fertile than younger lobsters.
This is possibly because of a special enzyme they produce that
repairs DNA sequences.

Hamsters

Hamsters are generally solitary animals. They are excellent
diggers, constructing burrows with one or more entrances. A
burrow includes a steep entrance pipe, a nesting chamber, a
food-storage chamber, and a branch for urination – in other
words, an entrance lobby, a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom!
