African Elephant

The African elephant is the largest living land mammal. The Trunk serves as a nose, hand, extra foot, signaling device and tool for gathering food, siphoning water, dusting, and digging. Tusks differ in size, shape, and angle and researchers can use them to identify individuals.

Wallabies

Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas, less so on the great semi-arid plains that are better suited to the larger, leaner, and more fleet-footed kangaroos.

Polar bears

Polar bears are among the largest predators in the world. They range in color from pure white after a molt to a yellowish shade resulting from solar oxidation or staining by oil from seal blubber. Their skin, nose, and lips are black in color. Polar bears' long neck and narrow skull aid in streamlining the animal in water, and their large, flat, and oar-like front feet make them strong swimmers. Their fur is thicker than any other bears' even covering their feet, for warmth and traction on ice. Polar bears also have a thick layer of blubber which provides buoyancy and insulation.

American bison

American bison are the largest North American land animals. They have a massive dark head with short black horns curving upward and inward from the base. The body is tall and narrow, with a destinctive large shoulder bump tapering toward the hindquarters. The tail is short and tufted at the end. The legs are relatively short. Male bison are proportionally larger and more robust than females. Calves are reddish in color but darken to adult pelage by their first fall.

Zebra

The Zebra is a part of the horse family, Equidae, native to central, eastern, and southern Africa. They are most well known for their distinctive black and white stripes. The most common type of zebra is the Plains Zebra.
