The axolotl was originally found in several lakes, such as Lake Xochimilco underlying Mexico City. 
Their heads are wide, and their eyes are lidless. The normal wild type animal is brown with gold speckles and an olive undertone. Axolotls also have some limited ability to alter their color to provide better camouflage.
The axolotl is carnivorous, consuming small prey such as worms, insects, and small fish in the wild. Axolotls locate food by smell, and will "snap" at any potential meal, sucking the food into their stomachs with vacuum force.]]> 2020-04-12 23:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/503838452 https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504063285 Whombats  are small marsupials that look like a cross between a bear, a pig and a gopher. They are built for digging, with short legs, compact heads, short broad feet and strong claws. They have a pouch.They are about 1 m  in length with small, stubby tails and weigh between 20 and 35 kg. Wombats typically live up to 15 years in the wild, but can live. past 20 and even 30 years in captivity. You can find them in  forested, mountainous, and  heathland  areas of south-eastern Australia, including Tanzania. They have odent-like front teeth and powerful claws. Some wombats are social, while others are loners. Wombats are herbivores, which means they only eat vegetation.

They are famous for their loud howls, which can travel five kilometres through rain forest. They live in South and Central America forests. Also you can find them in the zoo. Howler monkeys have cute faces with expressive eyes and a nose and mouth that jut out from their faces. Both the males and the females look like they have beards because of the long hair that grows down from their chins. The monkeys are covered from head to toe with long hair that is black, brown or red in colour. Howler monkeys eat mainly top canopy leaves, together with fruit, buds, flowers, and nuts. Also they can steal an eggs from bird.

Such sections are, for example, river bends. The range of the gavial historically covers the Indo-Gangetic Plain and the northern part of the Hindustan Peninsula: it is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar, Pakistan, India.The color of the back at the gavial is usually dark, brown-green, the belly is yellow-green. There are also gavials with black coloration, light green, brown or light brown, as well as the color of algae. There are almost white gavials.
The gavial has a long and powerful tail, on which there are triangular lamellar growths.
The eyes of the gavials are small and round, they are located above the level of the muzzle. They look almost in opposite directions.
Gavials eat fish.

In North America, they nest along the coasts and large inland lakes. Nesting along rivers is increasing. The osprey is a large fish-eating bird of prey. The osprey breeds near freshwater lakes and rivers, and sometimes on coastal brackish waters. The ospreys also can be found in Estonia.It has a white head with a distinctive brown eyestripe. Both males and females are generally white below and darker (brown) from above, although females usually have a brownish patch on their chest.The vast majority of the Osprey s diet is fish, typically 5-16 inches in size. Only occasionally, when fish aren't available, will the Osprey eat small mammals, birds, or reptiles. However, the Osprey is highly specialized for eating fish and does not stray from this diet unless necessary.]]> 2020-04-13 06:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504105865 https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504127893 .Characteristic
The saiga stands 61–81 cm at the shoulder, and weighs 26–69 kg.The head-and-body length is typically between 100 and 140 cm. A prominent feature of the saiga is the pair of closely spaced, bloated nostrils directed downward. Other facial features include the dark markings on the cheeks and the nose, and the 7–12 cm long ears.During summer migrations, a saiga's nose helps filter out dust kicked up by the herd and cools the animal's blood. In the winter, it heats up the frigid air before it is taken to the lungs.
Distribution and habitat
During the last glacial period the saigas ranged from the British isles through Central Asia and the Bering Strait into Alaska and Canada's Yukon and Northwest territories. By the classical age, they were apparently considered a characteristic animal of Scythia, judging from the historian Strabo's description of an animal called the kolos that was "between the deer and ram in size" and was believed to drink through its nose.
Description
The saiga antelope  is a critically endangered antelope which during antiquity inhabited a vast area of the Eurasian steppe spanning the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in the northwest and Caucasus in the southwest into Mongolia in the northeast and Dzungaria in the southeast. During the Pleistocene, they also occurred in Beringian North America and the British Isles. Today, the dominant subspecies is only found in one region in Russia (in the Republic of Kalmykia and Astrakhan Oblast) and three areas in Kazakhstan (the Ural, Ustiurt, and Betpak-Dala populations).(Alan L)]]> 2020-04-13 06:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504127893 https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504168766 It`s the world`s largest primate. A full-grown aye-aye is typically about three feet long with a tail longer than its body. The species has an average head and body length of 14–17 inches (36–43 cm) plus a tail of 22–24 inches (56–61 cm), and weighs around 4 pounds (1.8 kg).Young aye-ayes typically are silver colored. It is characterized by its unusual method of finding food: it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood using its forward-slanting incisors to create a small hole in which it inserts its narrow middle finger to pull the grubs out. This unusual mammal lives in Madagascar.(Maria L)]]> 2020-04-13 07:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504168766 https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504169128 Blobfish, Australian goby, toad fish (Blobfish - Psychrolutes marcidus) - the names of the same deep ocean fish that lives in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, found in the waters off the coast of Australia and New Zealand. 
It feeds on small invertebrates, in particular mollusks and crustaceans, which it swallows and phytoplankton. Passive movement, uses current.
Blobfish has a specific form, which is why it is called the most unsympathetic fish in the world. Looking at her, many do not even realize that this creature is a fish.
The body is drop-shaped, begins with a large head, smoothly passing into the body, which narrows. Not covered with scales, while it has outgrowths in the form of small spikes. The body color is different - from pink-brown to dark brown, while young individuals have a lighter shade. 
On the head in front of between the eyes there is a process that resembles a nose. The eyes are small, the distance between them is relatively large, which makes the fish look sad. The mouth is very large, its corners pointing down. The body of the fish consists of a gel-like substance, this allows it to stay afloat.

With their long, spider-like legs, spider crabs look like the villain in a comic-book series. They’re also exceptionally large and long-living. They can top 40 pounds, with their legs reaching over 12 feet in length, and can survive for 50 years or more...sometimes even for a century!  
Although the crabs, found off the coast of Japan, are not dangerous hunters, they are carnivorous scavengers and will devour any dead fish or mammal that reaches their habitat on the ocean floor.

It derives its name from its enormous shoe-shaped bill. It has a somewhat stork-like overall form and has previously been classified with the storks in the order Ciconiiformes based on this morphology. However, genetic evidence places it with the Pelecaniformes. The adult is mainly grey while the juveniles are browner. It lives in tropical east Africa in large swamps from Sudan to Zambia ( Nikolai K)]]> 2020-04-13 14:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/504570722 https://padlet.com/alina_pellja1/iejhfbu6omjprcuf/wish/505041262 Brown Paku is the largest representative of characins in South America, found in the Amazon and Orinoco rivers.

They live on the Asian and American coasts of the northern part of the Pacific Ocean (including Kamchatka, the Kuril Islands and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk), in the south during winter time to California and Japan. In honor of the bird, the island Toporkovy from the Great ridge of the Kuril Islands, and the island Toporkov from the group of Commander Islands are named. They nest in colonies along the coasts of the ocean. Excellent flyer; it takes off from the water heavily, accelerating for a long time, but it keeps easily in the air, sometimes climbing to great heights. Swims and dives well. Unlike most purebreds, this species does not rely on tarsus when walking. Running, pushing off with fingers, like all other birds. It feeds on small fish and marine invertebrates. Medium in size, body length about 40 cm; weight - 600–800 g. Coloring of plumage is monotonous, black-brown
