Emperor tamarind monkey, a primate, got its name because its beard resembled that of German monarch William II. Although the name came from a joke, it became an official name. This tamarin monkey is found in the southwest Amazon basin, eastern Peru, northern Bolivia and Acre and Amazon States in western Brazil. They live in the depths of the jungle in the tropical rain forest.
The white-faced macaque lives in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela. They eat almost all fruits, nuts, seeds and insects, and have unparalleled digestive ability, which can deal with all kinds of poisonous juices.
tapir
Tapiocephalidae is the most primitive Chiroptera in existence, which maintains the original characteristics of forelimbs with 4 toes and hind limbs with 3 toes. Tapirs are pig-shaped, with a retractable short nose, and are good at swimming and diving. There are only 4 species of tapioca, which are distributed in Southeast Asia and Latin America. Malai tapirs are distributed in Southeast Asia, from Myanmar, southern Thailand to Sumatra via Malay Peninsula. They are large, black and white and easy to identify. Tapirs are herbivores, which are like pigs, but larger than pigs. They widely lived in warm and humid environment between 1 100000 and1100000 years ago, and mainly distributed in South China. However, due to environmental changes, the giant tapir became extinct 1 10,000 years ago. At present, all other tapir species have been extinct except Malai tapir, a close relative in Southeast Asia.
Sun bear
Sun bears mainly inhabit tropical rain forests in South Asia, and they stand only about 1.2 meters high, which is the smallest type of bear family. Generally speaking, the weight of a sun bear will not exceed 65 kilograms. As a nocturnal creature, the sun bear spends most of the day on branches not high above the ground.
hagfish
Drill belly fish. Blind eel is a round-mouthed animal, which is hermaphrodite. During mating, it first acts as a male, and after a while, it acts as a female. The fertilized egg can directly develop into a small eel without metamorphosis. The blind eel is like a river eel, but its head has no lower jaw, its mouth is like a sucker, and it has sharp horny teeth. The gills are saccular, the inner branchial foramen is directly connected with the pharynx, and the outer branchial foramen opens outward at the back far away from the mouth, so that the front part of the body can penetrate into the host tissue without affecting breathing. The blind eel is attached to the big fish by the sucker, and then finds a machine to drill into the belly of the fish from the gills. Because of living a parasitic life in fish for a long time, the eyes have degenerated into hiding under the skin. Its sense of smell and mouth tip 4 are very sensitive to the touch of tentacles and can quickly perceive the arrival of big fish. There are three or four pairs of tentacles around the mouth of the blind eel. It adopts the method of Sun Walker drilling into the belly of the princess with an iron fan. First, it bites a hole in the big fish, or directly drills into the belly of the big fish from the gills of the big fish, and eats the internal organs first and then the meat, until only the skin and bones are left. People once found 123 blind eels in a snow fish, and called them fish thieves. Chordata phylum, Vertebrate subphylum, Cyclostoma. The representative of the order Lepidoptera belongs to the most primitive jawless vertebrate with lamprey. Adult parasitic life is the only internal parasitic animal among vertebrates. All are seafood. Feeding on fish, it is often drilled into the fish from the gills, sucking flesh and viscera, and finally the fish is eaten into a skeleton and an empty skin, which is a great harm to fisheries. A funnel without a mouth, with a soft lip at the front end and four pairs of whiskers. There are 6 pairs of branchial sacs, and most kinds of external branchial fissure do not directly pass through the body, but pass through a long tube and pass through the body with the same opening. Eye degeneration is hidden under the skin and has no crystals, hence the name blind eel. The gonad is single and hermaphroditic, but the sexes are still separated in physiological function. In blind eel larvae, the front part of the gonad is the ovary, and the back part is the testis. If the front end is developed and the back end is degraded, it is female. On the other hand, it is male. Distributed in temperate and subtropical waters of Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. The common species are Myxine gluti-nosa, which is distributed in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and our domestic Eptatretus burgeri, with 6 pairs of external gill holes, is distributed in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and other sea areas.
7 th floor star-nosed mole
Star-nosed mole is a small animal, which can only tilt the pointer of the scale to 50 grams, which is about twice that of mice. They live in shallow tunnels in wetlands, all over the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, and their hunting environment covers underground and underwater. Like about 30 other species of Moleidae, the star-nosed mole belongs to insectivora, a mammal. This kind of creature has extremely fast metabolism and is always hungry, so this little star-nosed mole with a huge appetite must be able to find enough prey to spend the cold northern winter. Like other moles, it looks for earthworms in the soil; However, it will also feed on a variety of small invertebrates and insect larvae in the nutrient-rich mud and rotten leaves in the wetland habitat, and will also dive to the muddy bottom of ponds and streams to find out its prey. Looking for prey is the time for Starnose to play. The star nose is not a part of the olfactory system responsible for smelling, nor is it the third hand used to catch food, but an extremely sensitive tactile organ. Its nose is surrounded by 22 fleshy appendages. When it shuttles between its own environment, its nose is often blurred by rapid vibration. Coupled with the forelimbs with giant claws, you encounter an exciting and difficult biological mystery. How did this creature evolve? What's that star? How does it work and what is it used for? For this unusual mammal, these are the puzzles I want to solve. Results The star-nosed mole not only has a funny face, but also has a quite specialized brain, which may help to answer the long-standing questions about the composition and evolution of mammalian nervous system.
proboscis monkey
It is endemic to Kalimantan in Southeast Asia. Their noses are surprisingly big, and the male monkeys get bigger and bigger with age, and finally form a big red nose like eggplant. When they are excited, their big noses will stand upright or shake up and down, which is very ridiculous. The female's nose is normal. Long-nosed monkeys like to live in groups, often 10-30 only gather in a group, and the range of activities is less than 2 square kilometers. Good at swimming, they often find something to eat in the river while playing and having fun, but sometimes they can stay still for hours. The male's nose can make a unique trumpet-like sound. Male proboscis monkeys can weigh up to 25 kilograms, and females are less than half of males. Among monkeys, proboscis monkeys are very particular about their diet, and they also have a great appetite. Young monkeys are very naughty. They often tease their parents, twisting their noses and wagging their tails. They often die within a week after being caught by humans, and are now on the verge of extinction.
Pink elf armadillo
The pink fairy armadillo is the smallest species in the armadillo family, about 90- 1 15 mm long (excluding the tail), and its body color is white rose or pink. Habitat in the dry grasslands of central Argentina and the desert covered with thorns and cacti. When in danger, it can completely bury itself in a few seconds. Pink fairy armadillos dig holes near ant nests. They live by preying on ants.
Umbrella lizard
The lizard is bigger, and the adult lizard can reach 80 ~ 100 cm in length, and it feeds on insects, spiders and small mammals. The squamous membrane folds around the neck of the lizard are very wide. When provoked, the folds will stand up, as if the head suddenly expanded several times and opened its mouth at the same time. Make an angry hiss. This sudden bravado often scares many fierce animals. If this move can't retreat from the enemy, the lizard will run away, relying only on its two hind legs, with its tail playing a balancing role.
Mongolian dog
Thick coat and protective coat are typical characteristics of this breed. The coat of an adult dog has two layers, a soft, thick and flocculent undercoat and a rough, rugged and curly outer coat. Rough fur is trapped in soft undercoat. The fur is strong rope-like, and the touch feels like felt. Adult komondor is completely covered with a large number of rope-like hairs like ears. It should be remembered that its length must meet the functional requirements of komondor coat. The color is white, but it is not always white. Sometimes, puppies will have a small amount of cheese color or light yellow, and the color will fade as they mature.
13 floor refers to monkeys.
It is like a big mouse, with a body length of 36 ~ 44 cm, a tail length of 50 ~ 60 cm and a weight of 2 kg. Body hair is thick and long, dark brown to black, with white hair base on face and abdomen, and white tip on neck hair; The tail is longer than the body, the tail hair is fluffy, shaped like a broom, and the hair is as long as 10 cm, black or gray; Slender body; The big kiss on the head is blunt; Ears are very large and membranous; Except that the thumb and big toe are flat nails, other fingers and toes have sharp claws; The tooth structure is like a mouse, with only 20 teeth; The limbs are short and the legs are longer than the arms. Distributed in the coastal forests of eastern Madagascar. Inhabit on the branches or trunks of tropical rainforests, and build spherical nests in tree holes or branches. Live alone or in pairs, and be active at night. Like eating insects, but also eat sugar cane, mango, cocoa, in the breeding conditions also eat bananas, dates and eggs. The pregnancy is unknown, and the baby will be born in February-March, with each baby 1 baby. When eating, you often tap the bark with your middle finger to judge whether there is a hole, then stick your ear to listen carefully. If there is a bug, bite a small hole in the bark with your front teeth, and then dig out the bug with your middle finger. When eating berries, you also dig a hole in the fruit with your middle finger and dig out the pulp from it. Because the monkey looks like a big mouse, jumps like a kangaroo and feeds in a very special way, it was once classified as a squirrel or a jerboa, or even set up another order. Apes and other animals don't imagine. It is related to lemurs, but in fact, because of its special appearance and habits, the aye-aye is a single creature (referring to the Rhinopithecidae). Finger monkeys only live in Madagascar island on the southeast coast of Africa.
Angora rabbit
Angora, according to the data of international ARBA organization, Angora originated from Angola province of Turkey; Another way of saying it is that it originated in Britain and was cultivated by the French. Because of its long capillary, it is a bit like an Angolan goat, so it was named Angola Rabbit. There are four breeds of Angora rabbits, of which Britain Angola is the most popular, and the others are France Angora, Satin Angora and Giant Angora.
alpaca
1 species of the genus alpaca (Camelidae) of Artiodactyla Alias llamas and humpless camels. It looks like a tall sheep; The neck is long and thick; Small head and erect ears; The back is straight, the tail is tilted, and the limbs are slender; The coat is 60 ~ 80 cm long, showing 22 different color types, such as pure white, light gray, brown yellow, black brown and pure black. Males are slightly larger than females. Found in the plateau mountains of Peru and Chile in South America.
narwhal
Narwhals belong to toothed whales, generally 4 to 5 meters long, weighing 900 kg ~1600 kg, with a white belly and a black back. They are small whales. Its reproductive rate is low, generally one litter is born every three years, pregnancy 15 months, and breastfeeding for 20 months. In the embryo, the narwhal had 16 teeth, but none of them were developed. At birth, most of the teeth degenerated and disappeared, and only two teeth in the upper jaw remained. The female whale's teeth are always hidden in the upper jaw, and only one on the left side of the male whale's upper jaw will break out like a long rod sticking out of the mouth. However, some people accidentally found that there were two pieces growing at the same time, but the number was very small. Narwhals are often male and female and young whales move together. From a few to a dozen, sometimes there are hundreds or even thousands of large groups together. Every year when the ice and snow melt, narwhals will flock into the bay to feed, mate and play. It is also at this moment that they are often hunted by local people. The most attractive thing about narwhals is the tusks called "horns", which are very mysterious in people's eyes. In ancient Europe, princes and nobles regarded it as a treasure, made wine glasses from whale teeth to test whether the wine was poisonous or not, or used it as furniture and ornaments to show luxury and wealth. Some people even regard it as a panacea and use it to cure all diseases. In fact, in the end, it is the Eskimos in the Arctic who use it as a fish fork and spear point for hunting. Due to people's superstition of whale teeth, whale teeth are expensive and hard to come by, and it has also become the root of narwhal disaster. In order to get fangs, many people hunted narwhals, which greatly reduced their number, so that the countries concerned had to take measures to protect them.
17 floor tarsal monkey
Also known as the Philippine tarsier, it lives in the tropical forests of Asia. They are only 15 cm long, while their tails are 25 cm long. They have extremely long ankles and long legs, which are very adaptable to climbing and jumping. They also have sucker-like disks on their fingers and toes, which make them hold things very firmly. They don't have a nest, so they cling to the upright trunk when they sleep. Although they are only 15 cm long, they can jump a distance of 180 cm. When jumping, the linear tail swings from side to side to keep balance. Their big eyes can accurately judge the distance, so they can prey on insects in jumping. Female monkeys give birth after six months of pregnancy, and young monkeys can hold their mothers or hold branches tightly as soon as they are born. The number of tarsal monkeys is very small, and they are endangered animals.
Dumbo octopus
This octopus lives in the deep sea and is the most precious and rare octopus species.
Sucker-legged bat
The sucker-footed bat, native to Madagascar, is one of the only two families of bats whose distribution is limited to one island. The sucker-footed bat family, like the discoptera family, has a sucker on the side of the thumb and foot, and its lifestyle is similar to that of the discoptera family. The sucker-footed bat is slightly larger than the disk-winged bat, with long ears and tail, square tragus and merging with the front edge of the ear.
20 th floor dwarf rafter
Pygmy marmoset is a kind of monkey that lives in the rain forests of western Brazil, southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador and eastern Peru. It is the smallest primate in the world, with a body length of about 14- 16 cm, a male weight of about 140 g and a female weight of 120 g.
lesser panda
The only species of the genus Ailuropoda in the family Ailuropodae. Common names are nine-section wolf, golden dog and red panda. Obese body, 40 ~ 60 cm long, weighing about 6 kg, reddish brown all over, brown and black limbs, long and fluffy body hair, round face with white stripes, white lips, ear edges and cheeks, white spots on the face and bright eyes; The tail is thick, more than half of the body length, with nine brown-black and brown-yellow rings, which is quite remarkable. Therefore, Sichuan Province in China is called the Nine-Section Wolf. The red panda has short limbs and a reddish-brown back, and its eyes, cheeks and even its mouth and beard are all white. The most beautiful thing is a fluffy long tail, and its brown and white nine-section ring pattern is very popular, hence the nickname "Nine-section Wolf". During the Quaternary Pleistocene, red pandas were widely distributed in Eurasia, and there were fossil records in central Europe and Britain.
sloth
The sloth, named after its slow movement, has become a highly specialized arboreal life and lost the ability to move on the ground. Usually hanging upside down on the branches, the hair is fluffy and quasi-directional, and the hair is green with algae, which is difficult to find in the forest. The three-toed sloth is widely distributed, from Honduras in the north to northern Argentina in the south, and the two-toed sloth is slightly narrow, from Nicaragua in the north to northern Brazil in the south.
The adaptive range of sloths is very different from that of anteaters belonging to the order Ardentata. They are strict arboreal and simple herbivores. The skull is short and high, the nose kiss is significantly shortened, and the zygomatic arch is strong but incomplete. The number of cervical vertebrae in the family deviates from the seven-vertebra model of ordinary mammals, with 6-7 two-toed sloths and 9 three-toed sloths. This change occurs not only among species, but also among individuals of the same species. No more than 3 visible toes, and toes and feet. Three-toed sloth has the same length, the base of the tumbled bone and the attached bone are healed, and its claws are strong and hooked. It is small in size, weighing 4-7 kg, and its hair is long and thick. Its coat provides living conditions for algae. In rainy season, algae grow in the depression of the hair surface, making light-colored fur green. The sloth is the only wild animal with plants on it. Although it has feet, it can't walk, so it takes 1 month to move a distance of 2km. Nevertheless, it is a good swimmer in the water. The best food for sloths is low-calorie leaves, and it takes hours to digest a little.
Snow crab on the 23rd floor
This creature named snow crab, as white as silk, seems to live in the Himalayas, but this unique creature was recently discovered in the deep sea of the South Pacific. The role of the slender hairlike hair on the forearm and feet of this crab is mysterious. Some scientists think that this kind of fine hair can capture bacteria as their food, but others think that these fine hairs can filter out toxic minerals spewing out of the deep sea.
This creature called "snow crab" is so unique that scientists still don't know much about it after a year's research, so they have to re-classify it into a species and formally name it KIWA HIRSUTA.
Bald monkey
Any of several diurnal monkeys of the family Capuchidae, the only macaque in the United States. The body length is 35-50 cm and the tail length is 15-20 cm. Face naked, red when excited. The hair is long and thick. There are three kinds: one is gray and the flour is red; The other is reddish in hair and bright red in face; The third kind of hair is light brown with a black face. Bald monkeys are rare animals, and their distribution is limited to some forest areas in the Amazon River basin. It is said that they live in small groups and often inhabit high branches. Walking on all fours, feeding on fruits and other parts of plants. Three species of bald monkeys are listed as endangered in the Red Book. Indians in the Amazon often catch bald monkeys.
Drip fish on the 25th floor
Dropfish live in the deep waters along the coast of Australia and Tasmania. Because it is difficult to reach the habitat of this fish, it is rarely found by humans. Where the water-dripping fish lives, the pressure is dozens of times higher than the sea level. When it is full, it maintains its welfare. The water-dripping fish is mainly gelatinous, and its density is slightly lighter than that of water, which makes it possible for this fish to float from the bottom of the water without physical effort. Lack of muscle is not a big problem for the water drop fish, because it mainly lives by swallowing the edible substances in front of it.
Whale stork
The whale-headed stork is a very large stork, and its English name Shoebill comes from its shoe-like peck.
This bird can grow to 1.2 meters high, weigh 5.5 kilograms and have a wingspan of 2.5 meters. Adult storks are mainly gray and brown when they are young. It is distributed in tropical East Africa from Sudan to Zambia.
Dead leaf turtle on the 27th floor
The largest nail is 40 cm long, the carapace is rectangular, and the carapace is rough and knobby. The maximum straight line length of this tortoise shell can be as long as 18 inch. Each shield plate is conical and has obvious concentric growth rings. The head and neck are large and flat, and covered with numerous small sarcomas, nodules and folds. The mouth is very wide and the nose is very long. The eyes are small and very close to the nose. In childhood, the color of the carapace and neck is tan to reddish brown, and the carapace is usually bright orange red. When this turtle grows up, the orange-red color on the abdominal shell fades to yellow or brown. The neck is reddish brown, but it will eventually turn brown or tan. There are two dark bands in the throat, and the abdominal nail is dark. Although it is completely aquatic, it rarely swims. In order to adapt to living on the bottom of the water, it has a long neck and a breathing tubular snout, so as to stretch out of the water to breathe.
coconut crab
It belongs to Arthropoda, Crustacea, Decapoda, Amphibia, Heterouropoda, Herminidae and Coconut Crab. Coconut Crab is the only species in Coconut Crab. There are many differences with typical crabs (short tail suborder). Distributed in southern Japan and South Pacific islands. China is only produced in the south of Taiwan Province Province. The body is very big, and the length of the head breastplate can reach 16 cm or more. The carapace of the body and appendages is calcified and thick, and there are wavy wrinkles on the surface of the head, breastplate and foot. The branchial region of the head breastplate is particularly enlarged. The frontal angle is triangular and the eye scales are small. The left claw is bigger than the right claw. The carapace and lateral carapace of the abdomen are calcified, and some of them are bent under the breastplate of the head. Only one side retains the degenerated abdominal limb. Coconut crabs live in tropical forests near the sea and are good at climbing trees. Like to eat the fruit, carrion or various plants of coconut or pandanus. When they return to the sea during the breeding season, their larvae grow abnormally in the sea.
Coconut crab has a huge body, a hard shell and two powerful giant claws, which makes it look fierce and arrogant, so in Taiwan Province, people call it "mountain bully"; Because the lines on its head and chest are very close to the gossip pattern, it is also called gossip crab. It is also a tree climber, especially good at climbing straight coconut trees, and it can peel off hard coconut shells with strong pincers and enjoy the sweet coconut meat inside. So it also has an internationally common name-coconut crab.
