Nilgai
The nilgai (or Boselaphus tragocamelus) is a large antelope native to the grasslands, scrublands and steppe of India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan. Nilgai are sexually dimorphic. Juvenile nilgai have a short, oily tan coat. Females retain this coat, whereas males turn blue-grey as they age. Both males and females have a white patch on their throat, although in males, this patch has a beard. Males also have horns and a much thicker neck. Nilgai have a stocky built with a sloping back and large hump at their withers.
Blackbuck
The blackbuck (or Antilope cervicapra) is an antelope living in the grasslands, light forests and semi-deserts of Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. It is sexually dimorphic: males and females differ in appearance and size. Male blackbucks have a dark brown coat, with a white underside and lower legs. It has distinct white rings around its eyes and a white chin on an otherwise black face, and long twisted horns that grow out of his head in a V shape. Females have a tan coat with a white underside. They have a white nose and no horns.
Japanese Raccoon Dog
Endemic to the woodlands, grasslands, and urban areas of Japan, the Japanese raccoon dog (or Nyctereutes viverrinus) is a small species of canid. It is also known as the tanuki. As the name suggests, it is raccoon-like in appearance, with thick, reddish fur under a grey topcoat, black legs, and a black stripe down the spine and tail. It has pointed ears with black rims, black markings under the eyes and throat, and white fur on snout, ears, and above the eyes. Males and females look the same, with females being a little larger on average.
Honey Badger
The honey badger (or Mellivora capensis), also known as the ratel, is a large species of mustelid. It lives in the forests, grasslands and deserts of Africa, the Middle East and Western Asia. Honey badgers have a broad, stocky build with short, thickset legs and a short tail. Head and snout are rounded, the ears are small with very little external structure. Most subspecies have grey-white fur dorsally that goes along their back, halfway down their sides and over the top of their head. Male honey badgers are about a third larger than females.
White-Faced Saki
The white-faced saki (or Pithecia pithecia) is a small primate native to the rainforests of Brazil, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname and Venezuela. It is sexually dimorphic, with males being larger than females and both sexes having a distinct appearance. The male white-faced saki has long black and coarse hair on its back and tail, with shorter paler hair ventrally. Coarse white hair forms an M-shape around their face. Their eyes are orange-brown, nose and mouth are black.
Ocelot
The ocelot (or Leopardus pardalis) is a medium-sized cat that lives in the densely vegetated areas of the Southern USA and Central and South America. The ocelot has a stocky build with rounded ears and a rounded nose. It has leopard-like patterned fur, orange and black rosettes and spots that form stripes down their body and face. Ocelots measure 55 cm to 100cm in length, with an extra 40cm to 50cm added by the tail, and stand 30cm to 45cm tall at the shoulder. Males weigh between 8kg and 18kg, while females weigh less at 7kg to 12kg.
Bighorn Sheep
The bighorn sheep (or Ovis canadensis) is a species of wild sheep that lives in the mountains, grasslands and deserts of Canada, the USA, and Mexico. They are pale grey to dark brown in colour, with yellow-brown horns. There are several subspecies and populations of bighorn sheep, whose colour, build and size can change based on the environment in which they live. The bighorn sheep is sexually dimorphic, with the males being heavier than the females and having much thicker and curlier horns.
American Flamingo
The American flamingo (or Phoenicopterus ruber), also known as the Caribbean flamingo, is a large species of wading bird native to the mudflats, coastal lagoons, and other coastal wetland environments of the Southern USA, Central America, and the Caribbean. It is a filter feeder and uses its distinctively shaped beak to stir up mud and feed on invertebrates and seeds. The plumage is of a pale pink, with more intensely orange-pink colouration on the neck and flight feathers. Male and female flamingos look the same, although males tend to be heavier and slightly taller.
Kirk's Dik-Dik
Native to Eastern and Southern Africa, Kirk's dik-dik (or Madoqua kirkii) is a small antelope adapted to live in open grasslands. Giving them a delicate appearance, the short body rests on thin legs, the hind legs being longer. The head is small, with a pointy snout and large, round eyes. Males have short horns which may be covered partially or wholly by the tuft of hair on the forehead. The short fur is brown, gradually greying towards the back and hindquarters and a lighter shade on the belly. Males and females look alike except for the male's horns.
Pallas's Cat
Pallas's cat (or Otocolobus manul), also known as the manul, is a small wild cat native to Central and East Asia, its range limited to the West by the Caucasus mountains and to the South by the Himalayas. Its most striking feature is the incredibly dense and long fur that give it a chubby, plush appearance. The coat is grey with beige to rusty red shades, with sparse black tabby markings. The head is small and round, with small triangular ears emerging from the thick ruff around it.
