Tree Kangaroo - Animal Facts and Photos

Tree kangaroos are found only in the rain forests of Australia, West Papua, and Papua New Guinea. Six of ten species are found in Papua New Guinea, in some of the last undisturbed rain forest habitat in the world.

The Matschie's tree kangaroo (Dendrolagus matschiei) is endemic to the Huon Peninsula on the northeast coast of Papua New Guinea. It is classified by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2004 Red List as endangered.

Matschie's tree kangaroos live in mountainous cloud forests at elevations of up to 11,000 feet (3,350 meters). They spend most of their time in trees. Tree kangaroos primarily eat tree leaves. They also consume flowers, grass shoots, ferns, moss, and bark.

Beautiful Tapir Animal

Tapirs look something like pigs with trunks, but they are actually related to horses and rhinoceroses. This eclectic lineage is an ancient one—and so is the tapir itself. Scientists believe that these animals have changed little over tens of millions of years.

Tapirs have a short prehensile (gripping) trunk, which is really an extended nose and upper lip. They use this trunk to grab branches and clean them of leaves or to help pluck tasty fruit. Tapirs feed each morning and evening. During these hours they follow tunnel-like paths, worn through the heavy brush by many a tapir footstep, to reach water holes and lush feeding grounds. As they roam and defecate they deposit the seeds they have consumed and promote future plant growth.

Aardwolf Facts and Images 2013

Although the aardwolf (Proteles crisata) is a type of hyena, it is so different in size, appearance and behavior it is really quite unique.

Aardwolves are only found in two populations in southern and eastern Africa. At only about three feet long and weighing less than 30lbs they are much smaller than other hyenas and are only slightly larger than foxes. A slender muzzle and sharper ears than other hyenas further differentiates the aardwolf in appearance.

Much like the aardvark it’s partially named after, the aardwolf feeds almost exclusively on insects; specifically the termites that are native to its home range. With its specialized tongue and teeth, the aardwolf is capable of eating up to 300,000 termites in a single night. Unlike other hyenas, aardwolves do not scavenge or eat carrion, and will only kill small mammals and birds as a last resort.

Grizzly Bears Facts & Wallpapers

The Wild Bear is a huge predator that is diverse from dark bears because of a notable protuberance on its bears. Wild bears have curved countenances and long paws concerning the length of a human finger. Their coloration is typically darkish tan yet can fluctuate from extremely light cream to dark.

The long monitor hairs on their backs and shoulders frequently have white tips and give the bears a "grizzled" presence, subsequently the name "grizzly." The right deductive name for the species is “tan bear,” yet just seaside bears in The 49th state and Canada are pointed to in that capacity, while inland bears and the aforementioned discovered in the more level 48 states are called wild bears.
