Cute litte mammals

1. 

Lesser mouse-deer is found widely across Southeast Asia, Burma, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. It is the smallest known hoofed mammal, its mature size being as little as 18 inches ((45 cm)) and 4.4 lb ((2 kg)). It is threatened by predation by feral dogs.

2. 

Pallas cat is a small wild cat with a broad but fragmented distribution in the grasslands and montane steppes of Central Asia. Its body is 18 to 26 inches ((46 to 65 cm)) long and its tail 8.3 to 12.2 inches ((21 to 31 cm)). It weights 5.5 to 10 lb ((2.5 to 4.5 kg)). The combination of its stocky posture and long, dense fur makes it appear stout and plush. Its fur is ochre with dark vertical bars on the torso and forelegs. The winter coat is greyer and less patterned than the summer coat. Pallas's cats are solitary. Both males and females scent mark their territory. They spend the day in caves, rock crevices, or marmot burrows, and emerge in the late afternoon to begin hunting. They are not fast runners, and hunt primarily by ambush or stalking, using low vegetation and rocky terrain for cover. 

3. 

The stoat does not dig its own burrows, instead using the burrows and nest chambers of the rodents it kills. The skins and underfur of rodent prey are used to line the nest chamber. The nest chamber is sometimes located in seemingly unsuitable places, such as among logs piled against the walls of houses. The stoat also inhabits old and rotting stumps, under tree roots, in heaps of brushwood, haystacks, in bog hummocks, in the cracks of vacant mud buildings, in rock piles, rock clefts, and even in magpie nests. Males and females typically live apart, but close to each other. They can be found in North America, Europe, and Asia, from Greenland and the Canadian and Siberian Arctic islands south to about 35°N. Stoats in North America are found throughout Alaska and Canada south through most of the northern United States to central California, northern Arizona, northern New Mexico, Iowa, the Great Lakes region, New England, and Pennsylvania, but are absent from most of the Great Plains, and the Southeastern United States. The stoat in Europe is found as far south as 41ºN in Portugal, and inhabits most islands with the exception of Iceland, Svalbard, the Mediterranean islands and some small North Atlantic islands. In Japan, it is present in central mountains ((northern and central Japan Alps)) to northern part of Honshu and Hokkaido. Its vertical range is from sea level to 3,000 m.

More cool water animals

1. 

Nudibranchs occur in seas worldwide, ranging from the Arctic, through temperate and tropical regions, to the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. They are almost entirely restricted to salt water. Nudibranchs live at virtually all depths, from the intertidal zone to depths well over 2.300 ft ((700m)). The greatest diversity of nudibranchs is seen in warm, shallow reefs, although a new nudibranch species was discovered at a depth near 8.200 ft ((2,500m)). Some nudibranchs are poisonous while others pretend to be poisonous, which is evident by their vibrant colors. They feed on stinging cells of hydrozoids and store them in the rear of their body for protection. They can also ingest toxins from sponges and become toxic and inedible. Some nudibranchs produce their own chemicals. 

2. 

Feather stars are unstalked crinoids that live in both shallow water and the depths of the ocean. Researchers have recorded feather stars moving at up to 5 centimeters per second. Although this might not seem like an incredible speed, it is essential for their health and survivability. Their speed primarily depends on gender, native tendencies, and vicinity of predators. They consume small food particles floating around the ocean. With feather arms and tubular feet, they are able to trap any edibles using a sticky mucus that feeds into the mouth. 

3. 

Carolina anole adult males are usually 4.9-8 in ((12,5-20,3 cm)) long, with about 60-70% of which is made up of its tail, with a body length up to 3 in ((7,5 cm)). Colour varies from brown to green and can be changed like many other kinds of lizards. Male anoles are strongly territorial creatures. Some have even been witnessed fighting their own reflections in mirrored glass. The male will fight other males to defend his territory. On sighting another male, the anole will compress his body, extend the dewlap, inflate a dorsal ridge, bob his head and attempt to chase the rival away. If the rival male continues to approach, anoles will fight by biting and scratching each other. Serious injury is rare, but males often carry numerous scars on their head and face, especially during the mating season. Their territory, which is about 1 m³, usually includes two to three females.

Cool water animals

1. 

Adult axolotl at age 18-24 months ranges in length from 6 to 18 inches ((15 to 45 cm)), although a size close to 9 in ((23 cm)) is most common and greater that 12 in ((30 cm)) is rare. They can regenerate lost body parts. Tail, fragments of the bronchi or legs o young ones grows back completley.

2. 

Cuttlefish have large, W-shaped pupils, eight arms and two tentacles, with which they secure their prey. They generally range in size from 6 to 10 inches ((15 to 25 cm)), with the largest species reaching 20 inches ((50 cm)). They eat small molluscs, crabs, shrimp, fish, octopus, worms, and other cuttlefish. Their predators include dolphins, sharks, fish, seals, seabirds, and other cuttlefish. The life expectancy is about 1-2 years. They change color, pattern and the shape of the skin to communicate to other cuttlefish, to camouflage and to warn off potential predators.

3. 

Frogfish can be found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Atlantic and Pacific, as well as in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Many species can change color, some are covered with other organisms such as algae or hydrozoa. In keeping with this camouflage, frogfish typically move slowly, lying in wait for they prey, and then striking extremely rapidly, in as little as 6 milliseconds. They have a stocky appearance, atypical of fish. Ranging from 1 to 15 inches ((2,5-38cm)) long. They are often brightly colored. White, yellow, red, green, black or spotted in several colors to blend in with their coral surroundings.

Beautiful Jellyfish

1. 

Portuguese man o' war can be found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. It can kill fish or, rarely, humans with its venom. Despite its appearance, it's not a true jellyfish, because it's not a single multicellular organism. Man o' War floats on the surface of the water, leaving its tendrils to sweep the depths below for plankton and fish.  It is translucent, and is tinged blue, purple, pink, or mauve; may be 3.5 to 11.8 inches ((9 to 30 cm)) long and may extend as much as 5.9 inches ((15cm)) above the water. Tentacles are typically 33 ft ((10m)) in length, but can reach over 98 ft ((30m)).

2. 

Crown jellyfish is one of the most venomous jellyfish species even they are 95-99% water based. They are mostly blue and purple coloured and like cold water. They usually stay down where it's cold in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. 

They are able to make light through bioluminescence. Their bells light up, when they are touched. Otherwise, the bell with maximum size 19-23 inches ((50-60cm)) will look transparent.

3. 

Lion's mane jellyfish is the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confident to cold, boreal waters od Arctic, northern Atlantic and northern Pacific Oceans. The largest recorded specimen had a bell with a diameter od 7ft 6in ((2,3m)) and tentacles 120 ft ((37m)) long.Large individuals are often red or purple, while smaller specimens tend to be shades of tannish-orange.

4. 

Halitrephes maasi was found 4,019 ft  ((1225m)) below sea level. It reflects light with bright splashes of yellow and pink. Without light it drifts unseen in the dark.

Giant Centipede

This centipedes can be even 12inches ((30 cm!)) and they can kill prey 15 times bigger than they are. This species is found in various places in South America and the Caribbean, where it preys on a wide variety of animals, including other sizable arthropods, amphibians, mammals and reptiles. It is a carnivore that feeds on any other animal it can overpower and kill. It is capable of overpowering not only other invertebrates such as large insects, spiders, millipedes, scorpions, and even tarantulas, but also small vertebrates including small lizards, frogs, snakes, sparrow-sized birds, mice, and bats. Large individuals have been known to employ unique strategies to catch bats in which they climb cave ceilings and hold or manipulate their heavier prey with only a few legs attached to the ceiling.

You don't want to mess with this guys. One day, Coyote Peterson got bitten by giant desert centipede. He describes his pain as "immediately searing" and "completely eclipsesing all of the insect stings he've taken". He is professional who's been bitten by and fire ants, which is nothigh compare to this centipede. Coyote started crying at the end and for the first time used venom extractor and didn't end the episode because of pain, that throws strong adult man on the ground.

Wolverine

The wolverine is nocturnal but it can be active at any time of the day. In addition to being a good runner and climber, the wolverine is also an excellent swimmer. Except during breeding season, the wolverine is solitary. A male's homerange can be more than than 1,000 square miles. Both the male and female are very territorial and will aggressively defend and mark their territories. The elusive wolverine  has a fearsome reputation - it is the largest member of the weasel family. The remoteness and voracious appetite of these creatures have led to an aggressive reputation. Males are much heavier than females and both have a stocky body and short legs. They are well adapted to the cold habitat of their northern range with a thick, bushy coat and broad, hairy paws. The glossy coat is dark brown with a paler stripe across the rump and along the sides of the body; some individuals have white throat patches. The powerful jaws and large teeth are able to demolish frozen carrion and bone. Wolverines carry their head and tail lower than the arched back and their gait appears somewhat humpy and lumbering although they can move very quickly when necessar

In the wild, wolver­ines gen­er­ally live for 5 to 7 years but some can live up to 13 years. Fe­males in cap­tiv­ity have bred up to 10 years old and live up to 17 years. The main causes of death are star­va­tion, being killed by com­peti­tors (such as wolves), and trap­ping.

In the wild, wolverines generally live for 5 to 7 years but some can live up to 13 years. Females in captivity have bred up to 10 years old and live up to 17 years. The main causes of death are starvation, being killed by competitors (such as wolves), and trapping.

Dinosaur

Adult southern cassowaries are 5-6ft ((1,5-1,8m)) tall, although some females may reach 6,6ft ((2m)) and weight 129lb ((58,5kg)). Their second toe, the inner one in the medial position, sports a dagger-like claw that can be 5in ((12,7cm)) long. This bird can run at up to  31 mph ((50 km/h)) through the dense forest and can jump up to 5ft ((1,5m)). They are good swimmers, crossing wide rivers and swimming in the sea.

 All cassowaries are usually shy birds, found in the deep forest, but they have a reputation in folklore for being dangerous to people and domestic animals. This claw is particularly fearsome since cassowaries sometimes kick humans and animals with their enormously powerful legs. This assessment of the danger posed by cassowaries has been repeated in print by authors including Gregory S. Paul and Jared Diamond. A 2003 historical study of 221 cassowary attacks showed that 150 had been against humans. 75% of these had been from cassowaries that had been fed by people. 71% of the time the bird had chased or charged the victim. 15% of the time they kicked. Of the attacks, 73% involved the birds expecting or snatching food, 5% involved defending natural food sources, 15% involved defending themselves from attack, and 7% involved defending their chicks or eggs. The 150 attacks included only one human death.

Interesting thing is that they look like Corythoraptor found in China. 

Slow loris

Slow lorises are rare, small mammals. They are nocturnal and live on trees in South East Asian countries like India or China. All Slow Lorises have a protecting layer over their eyes, which reflects the light. Cats have the same layer. They are venomous and scienceist still does not know the antidote. They also have opposable thumbs, so they can grab things without any troubles. Slow Lorises are considered to have supernatural powers and thought to cure about 100 diseases. They are killed so that they can be used as medicine. It has a patch filled with venom under its elbow used for protection against the predators. When faced with danger, loris licks its elbow and covers its teeth with poison. As soon as animal bites its enemy, it will deliver the venom.

There are people who want loris as their pet, which is illegal. But that doesn't mean they can't but it. This animals are very common in illegal pet trage, they have their front teeth cut or pulled before being sold as pets, due to their venom. This often causes infection and death. Poachers also keep lorises in small cages, which of course causes pain and can lead to death too. Similar things happens if they are forced to live in brightly lit room ((incredibly uncomfortable since they live at night in wild, causes pain and suffering)).

They live in trees, palms, shrubs and vines, they have strong prehensile tail and usually prefer to stay near a permanent water source and eat small birds or rodents, frogs, lizards. It's not known to be very aggressive snake, but will not hesitate to strike if harassed. Adult female snake can grow up to 32 inches ((about 82 cm)), males can grow to about 27 inches ((69 cm)), weight is about 10-15 lbs ((4,5 - 6,8 kg)), life span usually 10-12 years, up yo 16 in captivity. This species is well-known for its lightning fast strikes. Its bite contains a dose of hemotoxic venom, capable of killing adult human. This beautiful snakes can be seen in green, yellow, reddish brown, golden and many more combinations. Interessing fact is they have extremely sensitive fleece between their eyes and nostril. According to one of the sources - with 1000 nerve endings per square millimeter Eyelash viper can notice a change in temperature of 0,026 degrees Celsius.

Their bodies are a little over 1 inch ((more than 2,5 cm)) long, With legs stretched out, this slow moving, stick-like creature can be more than 3 inches ((more than 7,6 cm)) long. This spider does not build web like a normal spider, instead it's holding a web between its forelimbs while hangling upside down, waiting for a insect or other spider to pass by. When unsuspecting victim appears they wraps net over them like some kind of spider-gladiator. They can be find from Australia to Africa and the Americas.

A little ball of happiness

Meet this little guy. He is huntsman spider, and he's a "little ball of happiness". Huntsman spiders are renowned for the enormous size, with males able to achieve a leg span of between 10 and 12 inches ((25 and 30 centimeters)). This spiders are known to inflict a defensive bite if provoked by humans or other animals. They have been known to bite people but they are not generally regarded as being a danger to humans. They are common in Australia but have been introduced accidentally to parts of the USA, Pakistan, India, China, and Japan. They can't build webs, so you never need to worry about walking into one and you never need to worry about where he is because, usually, he's in plain sight. In your house. A lot of people are scared of spiders like black widow because it is so small and hard to find. You would never miss this guy. If he sees you coming at him, he'll run all around insane. But he don't run like a normal spider - he is better than that. He majestic gallop with light speed like a eight-legged cheetah. Huntsman is also good at killing smaller spiders, nothing escapes. He's like a natural bug-spray.

The spider you see on the photo is Charlotte. Specialists say they the huntsman is believed to be a green giant species with a legspan of 20 centimetres. Woman who found her says that she was a beautiful, calm spider, not aggressive in any way.

Satanic Gecko + Rainbow Snake

This mystical species is very rare in the wild and reportedly remaining within only three protected areas of Madagascar. The satanic leaf-tailed gecko is unique in appearance and makes for a sought-after animal in the pet trade. They grow up to 6 inches ((15 cm)) including tail. They usually live in small shrubs, it's very rare to see this guys higher than 1 meter. When they sleep, they're hanging on their feets from branchs. Satanic leaf-tailed geckos are capable of living longer than 10 years.

Second animal I want to tell you about is Brazilian rainbow boa. Brazilian rainbows are a popular subspecies because of their outstanding appearance. Males reach sizes of  66 to 72 inches ((1,68 to 1,83 meters)) long. Large females can grow to 72 to 84 inches ((1,83 to 2,13 meters)) and weigh up to 9 pounds. These boas are readily available at exotic pet stores, or local reptile shows with several morphs available. When they are younger they are more prone to bite due to natural defense instincts, but as they become more used to handling tend to calm down. Like other species, the young Brazilian rainbow boas are probably preyed upon by birds of prey, small mammals or other reptiles. Their lifespan in the wild is estimated to be around 10 years, but in captivity, the species may live up to 30 years.

See you next time!

Orange Bitey Thing

Among those who keep tarantulas as pets Pterinochilus murinus is known as "OBT", which means "orange baboon tarantula" or "orange bitey thing" and also as the "pterror", a pun on its Latin genus classification: Pterinochilus. This species is incredibly defensive. OBT's bite is extremely painful, the intense burning pain can make a grown man cry. Although their venom is not known to be lethal to humans. With their lightning fast movements and propensity for attacking anything that comes near them, this is species which is really only suitable for the more advanced tarantula keeper. It can try to attack you through the glass, simply because you walk past their table. When they get very irritated, they can simply jump out from the container. 

This species may be found in much of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa, including Zaire, Kenya, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. Female can grow to 4-6 inches ((10-15 cm)), while males typically range 3–4 inches ((7-10 cm)).

Dancing Spider

Maratus volans, also known as 'Peacock Spider' is a really small and beautiful jumpnig spider. Male spiders perform an elaborate courtship dance to try impress a female, but if she is not interessed and male continues to dance - he might end up as a meal to female. Sometimes spider can save his life escaping by jumping.

They are very colorful and up to 5 mm body lenght! ((like a single square in your notebook)).

The head-breast part of the peacock spider is usually a deep brown color with red stripes and the upper abdomen green and patterned with broad stripes of blue and brown. And then there is the gorgeous pair of flaps which, when he is not in pursuit of a lady friend, lie against his abdomen like the cape. 

Like almost all spiders, peacock spiders are venomous. But they have so tiny jaws, that they are not dangerous to humans. They couldn't even puncure our skin. They don't build webs - thay stalk their prey, which can be three our four times their size, and pounce at it.

See you next time!
