Most West Indian boas are valued as rodent killers. Tree bowers are indigenous to tropical America, but 1 species occurs in Madagascar. Burrowing, or sand boas are found in Africa , India, and West North America. The rubber boa is found in the North West United States ; the rosy boa, in the southwest
The African Cheetah, is the same size of the leopard , but has long legs, and a tawny coat with round black spots.
Cave drawings of the late Paleolithic period indicate that dogs were used for hunting by primitive man ; thus they were the first domestic animals .

Falcon General name given for Falconidae , a heterogeneous family of long-winged birds of prey closely related to the Hawk. The size of a Vulcan varies from six and a half inches , falconet to the 24 in. gyrfalcon, from the swift merlin to a sluggish caracar . True falcons, are distinguished by their notched beaks , are widely distributed . In flight there wing beats our rapid and powerful, and a they suite from hundreds of feet at speeds of up to 175 mi. an hour to capture their prey is chiefly birds and small mammals. Usually they kill cleanly and breaking the back of their victims'. Some falcons eat insects; the long legged caracaras ( found in South America, with one species, the audubon's caracara or Mexican buzzard, ranging to the extreme south United) also on carrion and sometimes robbing other birds of their prey. The cosmopolitan peregrine falcon (unromantically called duck call in the United States) the gyrfalcon of the Arctic tundra have been used in falconry. The commonest and smallest American falcon is the sparrow hawk (related to the European kestrel). Others are the pigeon hawk (related to the European merlin ) . Falcons , like cliff edges or in the abandoned nests of hawks and crows .
Usually terrestrial, guerrillas will crawl on all fours with the hands doubled under. At night the males sleep at the base of the tree with the females and young in plat form nests above. The guerrillas diet is mainly vegetarian . Being long in danger of extinction, there among the animals protected and in Albert national park established in the Congo in 1922 large is through the efforts of Carl Akeley .
It was hunted for meat by the natives and the Hyde was used for shields and whips. Most of the time the animal lives in the water, where it feeds on aquatic parts. Once extremely common and widespread in Africa, it is now rare except in unsettled areas and on reserves. In western Africa the pygmy hippopotamus is found, fossils of extinct species have been discovered in India, and Europe, and England.
It has a length 3 to 6 ft. long from its neck to the long tail is a crest of spiny scales. Iguanas feed on the leaves, fruits, and sometimes small animals. Their flesh is eaten in some countries. In the Galapagos Islands a marine and land species exist.
The feet have five sharply clawed toes which enables it to grasp and climb. It's sleeps during the day and feeds at night on leaves and shoots of certain species of the eucalyptus. At birth the cub is about 3/4 in. long , and is carried and nursed in the mother's pouch, from which it emerges for the first time when it about six months old. Up until eight months old it continues to use the pouch, and is carried on the mother's back or in her arms until year-old.

A mooses diet consists of leaves, twigs, buds, and bark of some body parts, as well as lichens, aquatic plants, and some of the taller of herbaceous land plants. They are now protected in national parks and reserves in Canada and United States.
Being an agile swimmer, it hunts in streams and lakes for crawfish, along the banks of which it makes its burrow. Its diet also consists of small mammals and birds. The Otter is a playful animal; groups have been seen playing " follow the leader, " sliding down mud banks, or tobogganing in the snow. Its fur is thick and brown and a soft under coat with underlying glossy guard hairs. The sea otter, found in and near kelp beds in the North Pacific, is a larger heavier animal of the same family which habitually swims on its back. While in this position it carries its catch and eats some its meals of abalone, crab, and sea urchin. Relentless hunting of this defenseless animal for its beautiful fur nearly exterminated it.
Most of this time is spent in trees. It is mostly found in the Himalayas, and a Chinese a species in habits Yunnan, Szechwan , and North Burma. The Giant panda (Ailuropoda) lives in the bamboo forests of Szechwan and Kansu at altitudes between 6000 and 14,000 ft.. Few authorities classify the panda as a member of the raccoon family, others place it in a separate family. The bear like body is chiefly white, the limbs of brownish black, with the dark color extending up over the shoulder. There ears and eye patches are black.

The marine green turtle is a common source for turtle soup and canned turtle meat, many different kinds are eaten, including the brackish water diamondback. The name terrapin is commonly applied to freshwater turtles and the name tortoise to terrestrial forms.
The American vulture has no syrinx thus voiceless, emitting only weak hisses. They feed indiscriminately and chiefly on carrion, this could be because they have a weak beak and lack the strength of other birds of prey, so they rarely attack other animals only if they are helpless. There plumage is mostly dark and have small, naked heads. And the adult turkey vulture or turkey buzzard has a wings spread of 6 ft. the head is red. The black vulture is smaller and is black . The tropical king vulture has a orange crimson, and purple colour, with a neck ruff of gray down.

In appearance the wolf is similar to a German shepherd dog. Being carnivorous wolves have been hunted by man for centuries for eating their sheep, deer, cattle, and many other wild domestic animals. It is also believed wolves mate for life, and for a time after the young are born live together in a family unit , where the male hunts for food and carries it to the female and the young until they are able to hunt together . At about a year-old the wolf begins to run in packs at various seasons during the year. The European gray wolf had a wide circumpolar distribution; and was found throughout most of Europe, Asia, and North America. The body length of the males is 50 to 60 in. long, and weigh over 100 lbs. (in North America they're often called timber wolf), however there are some more southerly ranging, the Texas red wolf is smaller and apparently not directly related to European wolf. In the Arctic regions of North America can be found the White Wolf. Also some species wolves are found in parts of China and Japan.
The wild yaks color is dark brown marked with black while the domesticated yak is smaller and maybe black brown, or reddish, also piebald and even albino. Yaks can thrive on sparse vegetation which no other domesticated animal could. The domesticated yak has become a great source of food including; milk, butter, meat, and their hair for clothes. There leather is also used as a beast of burden.
There is Three species of Zebra, The plains Burchell's zebra found across Africa.(weighs approximately 520 pounds ) In northeast Africa the Grevy's zebra,(weighs approximately 880 pounds) and the Mountain zebra found in Namibia and southern Cape mountains. Living in herds the Plains zebra commonly mixes in with other animals like the Antlope,where there would be a tight-knit group consisting of a few mares and a stallion. The young females in the herd are abducted from the family when they become sexually receptive. This could be to prevent inbreeding as the stallion stays on with the same herd for many years. Grevys zebra in contrast the males have large territories while the females spread out and form a loose association. People have often attempted to tame zebras to wear a saddle or harness , and have seldom been successful.
