         <description><![CDATA[<p>This animal was one of the first Caribbean animals to go extinct in the 20th century. The height of this extinct animal is about the size of a house cat. It's length including its tail is about 65cm and it weighs about 1kg. The environment it lives in is a forest near the volcano Pelee. This volcano erupted and wiped out this species. It is a herbivore, it eats mostly fruits, roots, and vegetation. The predators that hunt this giant rat are Mongooses and at one time Humans. It escapes these predators by either diving into the ocean because this animal is semi-aquatic. It also sometimes runs away into its burrow. Fun fact, this extinct animal is active night and day.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Size/Weight: The Roan Antelope stands 1.3-1.6 meters tall and 1.9-2.4 meters long, with males usually being slightly larger than females. Males weigh 260-300 kg, while females weigh 225-275 kg.</p><p><br/></p><p>Habitat/Diet: The Roan Antelope can be found in lightly wooded grasslands and savannas. They inhabit the northern and southern savannas of africa. They are grazers, and will eat grass and leaves. However, if none of those are available, they can be more flexible towards brush and stems.</p><p><br/></p><p>Main Predators/Fighting Facts: The main predators of the Roan Antelope are lions, hyenas, wild dogs, and leopards. However, they have some defenses against these animals. Their horns can grow from 60-100 cm long, and are extremely sharp at the tip. While they may seem quite docile, they are extremely aggressive towards anyone they view as an enemy. When threatened, they will not run at first, but instead fight. They use their horns like knives, stabbing at the enemy. If their horns are broken or ineffective, they will kick at the enemy with very powerful kicks.</p><p><br/></p><p>Source: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Hippotragus_equinus/">https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Hippotragus_equinus/</a></p>]]></description>
