         <description><![CDATA[<pre><strong><mark>Largest living cat species</mark></strong></pre><div><br><strong><mark>Basic info:</mark></strong><br>The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognizable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. They can live from 8-10 years.<strong><br></strong><strong><mark>Their habitat:</mark></strong><strong><br></strong>Tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. Tigers are found in amazingly diverse habitats: rain forests, grasslands, savannas, and even mangrove swamps. The tiger historically ranged from eastern Turkey and Transcaucasia to the coast of the Sea of Japan and from South Asia across Southeast Asia to the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, and Bali. <br><strong><mark>Their food:</mark></strong><strong> <br></strong>In the wild, tigers mostly feed on large and medium-sized mammals: sambar deer, wapiti, barasingha, and wild boar. <br><strong><mark>Do tigers live in groups?</mark></strong><br>Tigers are solitary animals, except for mothers and their cubs. Individual tigers roam across large areas, also known as home ranges, the size of which is determined by the availability of food.<strong><br></strong><strong><mark>Social and daily activities</mark></strong><strong><br></strong>They are mostly nocturnal meaning that they tend to rest during the day and be more active at night. Tigers don't often climb trees but cases have been recorded. They are strong swimmers and often bathe in ponds, lakes, and rivers, thus keeping cool in the heat of the day.<br><strong><mark>Status:</mark></strong><strong> </strong>Endangered.<br>Tigers are on the brink of extinction. Just over a century ago, 100,000 wild tigers roamed across Asia. Today, fewer than 3,900 live in a mere four percent of their historic range. The largest tiger population can now be found in India, home to half of all remaining wild tigers. Much of this decline has occurred in the past decade.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<pre><strong><mark>Scaly anteaters</mark></strong></pre><div><br><strong><mark>Basic info:</mark></strong><br>Pangolins are mammals of the order Pholidota. They range in size from 30 to 100 cm. Several extinct pangolins species are also known. It is unknown how long pangolins can live in the wild, though pangolins have reportedly lived as long as twenty years in captivity.<strong><mark><br>Their habitat:<br></mark></strong>Pangolins can be found in forests and grasslands. They typically live in hollow trees or burrows. Their 8 species are spread across Africa and Asia.<br><strong><mark>Their food:</mark></strong><br>Pangolins are insectivorous. Their diet consists of various species of ants and termites and may be supplemented by other insects, especially larvae.<br><strong><mark>Do pangolins live in groups?</mark></strong><br>They are very solitary animals, spending time mostly alone unless they're raising young.<br><strong><mark>Social and daily activities<br></mark></strong>Most pangolins are nocturnal animals. The long-tailed pangolin is also active by day, while other species of pangolins spend most of the daytime sleeping, curled up into a ball. The nocturnal ones spend their days sleeping and their nights foraging for food and digging their burrow. We know very little about their habits and social activities since they have not been extensively studied.<br><strong><mark>Status:</mark></strong><strong> </strong>Ranging from Vulnerable to Critically endangered&nbsp;<br>Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world—with demand primarily in Asia and in growing amounts in Africa—for their meat and scales. There is also demand in the United States for pangolin products, particularly for their leather to be used in boots, bags, and belts.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<pre><strong><mark>Lesser pandas</mark></strong></pre><div><br><strong><mark>Basic info:</mark></strong><br>Red pandas (<em>Ailurus fulgens</em>) are small mammals native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. They have dense reddish-brown fur, white-lined ears, a mostly white muzzle, and a ringed tail. Their head-to-body lengths are 51–63.5 cm and they weigh between 3.2 and 15 kg. They are well adapted to climbing due to their flexible joints and curved semi-retractile claws. In the wild, red pandas appear to live about 8 to 10 years, while individuals in zoological settings may live into their late teens.<br><strong><mark>Their habitat:</mark></strong><br>Red pandas are distributed from western Nepal, Sikkim, West Bengal, and Arunachal Pradesh in India, Bhutan, and southern Tibet to northern Myanmar, the Hengduan Mountains, and Gongshan Mountains in China's Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.<br><strong><mark>Their food:<br></mark></strong>Red pandas are largely herbivorous and feed primarily on bamboo. They also feed on fruits, blossoms, acorns, eggs, birds, and small mammals. <br><strong><mark>Do red pandas live in groups?</mark></strong><br>Red pandas are solitary except during the breeding season. In normal times, these rusty-furred creatures tend to live alone, only rarely traveling in pairs or families.<br><strong><mark>Social and daily activities:</mark></strong><br>Red pandas are secretive and difficult to observe in the wild. They sleep in between periods of activity at night. They typically rest or sleep in trees or other elevated spaces, stretched out on a branch with legs dangling when it is hot, and curled up with their tail over the face when it is cold. Red pandas usually move around at dawn and dusk, sleeping during the hottest part of the day. They begin their “day” by licking the front paws and then cleaning the fur all over the body in a cat-like, sitting posture in the tree.<br><strong><mark>Status:</mark></strong> Endangered<br>Climate change is impacting species across the globe and red pandas—with less than 10,000 left in the wild—are not immune. Almost 50% of the red panda’s habitat is in the Eastern Himalayas. The loss of nesting trees and bamboo is causing a decline in red panda populations across much of their range because their forest home is being cleared.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1, <strong><em>Galapagos Giant Tortoise<br>The Galapagos Giant Tortoise is one of the most special animals in South America, one that you should know if you got a lucky trip to the continent, especially the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. The tortoise is a complex of 15 different species, 2 of which have been extinct. They are the largest living species of tortoise and one of the longest-lived vertebrates. Some tortoise has been recorded to live for over 150 years, and captive ones can live even longer. For example, a captive Galapagos tortoise Harriet has lived for at least 175 years. It lived for so long that reported it, it was collected by Charles Darwin during his 1835 visit to the Galapagos Islands.&nbsp;</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>About the size of the tortoise, Charles Darwin remarked after his trip in 1835, "These animals grow to an immense size ... several so large that it required six or eight men to lift them from the ground". According to Wikipedia, the largest individuals have reached weights of over 400 kg and lengths of 1.87 meters. However, the size is varied depending on the living conditions of the tortoise.&nbsp;</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>The behavior of the Galapagos tortoise is as follows (Wikipedia):</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>-The tortoises are cold-blooded, so they usually bathe for 1–2 hours after dawn to absorb the sun's heat through their shells before foraging for 8–9 hours a day. They travel mostly in the early morning or late afternoon between resting and grazing areas. They have been observed to walk at a speed of 0.3 km/h (0.2 mph). Tortoises sometimes rest in mud wallows or rain-formed pools, which may be both a thermoregulatory response during cool nights and protection from mosquitoes and ticks.</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>- They are herbivores, which means their diet consists of plants, such as cacti, grasses, leaves, melons, etc.&nbsp;</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>- They depend more on vision and smell in their activities than their hearing.&nbsp;</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>The Galapagos tortoises have contributed to the development of the Theory of Evolution by Charles Darwin. His five-week visit to the islands in 1835 has appeared a few times in his writings and journals.</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>Conservation status: varied; vulnerable or worse (IUCN)</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>Several waves of human exploitation of the tortoises as a food source caused a decline in the total wild population from around 250,000 when first discovered in the 16th century to a low of 3,060 individuals in a 1974 census. The 2 species that have been classified as extinct are C. niger</em></strong><strong> </strong><strong><em>and C.abingdonii.&nbsp;</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>Modern conservation efforts have subsequently brought tortoise numbers up to 19,317 (estimate for 1995–2009).</em></strong></div><div><strong><em><br></em></strong><strong><br></strong><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>2<strong><em>, Anacondas or water boas are a group of large snakes of the </em></strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus"><strong><em>g</em></strong></a><strong><em>enus Eunectes. They are found in tropical South America, and four species are currently recognized. However, we will focus on the green anaconda, which is the most recognized species.<br>The green anaconda, or Eunectes murinus, is</em></strong> <strong><em>a boa species found in South America. It is the heaviest and one of the longest known extant snake species. Like all boas, it is a non-venomous constrictor.<br>The size of the green anaconda is as follows:<br>-The maximum length of the anaconda is about 5.21 m (17.1 ft) long. More typical mature specimens reportedly can range up to 5 m (16.4 ft), with adult females, with a mean length of about 4.6 m (15.1 ft), being generally much larger than the males, which average around 3 m (9.8 ft).<br>- The weight of the anaconda is much less documented, with</em></strong> <strong><em>a</em></strong> <strong><em>reported range from 30 to 70 kg (66 to 154 lb) in a typical adult.<br>The remote location of the snake's habitat has made locating, capturing, and returning specimens extremely difficult. Transporting large specimens to museums, especially before complete decay, is very hard (although this has not prevented the return of much larger and more cumbersome crocodilian specimens).<br></em></strong><em><br></em><strong><em>Eunectes murinus is found in South America east of the Andes, in countries including Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, the island of Trinidad, and as far south as northern Paraguay. The type locality given is "America". At least one anaconda, a juvenile, has been found in the Florida Everglades. Anacondas live in swamps, marshes, and slow-moving streams, mainly in the tropical rainforests of the Amazon and Orinoco basins. They are cumbersome on land but stealthy and sleek in the water. Their eyes and nasal openings are on top of their heads, allowing them to lie in wait for prey while remaining nearly completely submerged.<br>BEHAVIORS:<br>- Feeding: Primarily aquatic, they eat a wide variety of prey, almost anything they can manage to overpower, including fish, amphibians, birds, a variety of mammals, and other reptiles. Particularly large anacondas may consume large prey such as tapirs, deer, capybaras, and caimans, but such large meals are not regularly consumed. Juvenile anacondas feed on prey such as small birds and juvenile caiman that are typically 40–70 grams in size.<br>Conservation status: Least Concerned (IUCN)<br>All data in this file is extracted or used from Wikipedia.</em></strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_anaconda#cite_note-natgeo-16"><strong><em><sup><br></sup></em></strong></a><br></div><div><em><br></em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_anaconda#cite_note-natgeo-16"><sup><br></sup></a><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>3, The PIRANHA<br><strong><em>Piranha is a freshwater fish that inhabits South American rivers, floodplains, lakes, and reservoirs. Although often described as extremely predatory and mainly feeding on fish, their dietary habits vary extensively, and they will also take plant material like food, leading to their classification as omnivorous.<br>Depending on the species, most piranhas grow to between 12 and 35 cm (5–14 in) long. A few can grow larger, with the largest living species, the red-bellied, reaching up to 50 cm (20 in). There are claims of São Francisco piranhas at up to 60 cm (24 in), but the largest confirmed specimens are considerably smaller.</em></strong><strong><em><sup>[14]</sup></em></strong><strong><em> The extinct Megapiranha which lived 8–10 million years ago reached about 71 cm (28 in) long, and possibly even 128 cm (50 in). That is almost equal to a 7 or 8-year-old boy.&nbsp;<br>Piranhas have one of the strongest bites found in bony fishes. Relative to body mass, the black piranha produces one of the most powerful bites ever measured on invertebrates. This extremely powerful and dangerous bite is generated by large jaw muscles that are attached closely to the tip of the jaw, conferring the piranha with a mechanical advantage that favors force production overbite speed. Strong jaws combined with finely serrated teeth make them adept at tearing flesh.&nbsp;<br>Piranhas vary extensively in ecology and behavior depending on exact species. Although generally described as highly predatory and primarily feeding on fish, piranha diets vary extensively, leading to their classification as omnivorous. The diets change based on the living conditions and the piranha's age and size.<br>Although often described as extremely dangerous in the media, piranhas typically do not represent a risk to humans. However, attacks have occurred, especially when the piranhas are in a stressed situation, such as the dense groups that may occur when the water is lower during the dry season and food is scarce. Swimming near fishermen may increase the risk of attacks due to the commotion caused by struggling fish and the presence of bait in the water. Splashing attracts piranhas and for this reason, children are more often attacked than adults. Being in the water when already injured or otherwise incapacitated also increases the risk of death. There are sometimes warning signs at high-risk locations, and beaches in such areas are sometimes protected by a barrier.</em></strong></div><div><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>
