They have dark stripes on their cheeks and their tailed have rings of dark fur.
It lives in every country south of the U.S.A .It 's length varies from 3 to 4 feet long.It's weight can be up to 40 pounds.
Ocelots are carnivores, they hunt and eat animals such as rodents, rabbits, young deer, birds, snakes and fish.
An estimated 800,000 to 1.5 million are found worldwide. In the U.S., just 30 ocelots remain in an isolated population in southeast Texas.
Ocelots live up to 20 years,and they are mostly nocturnal creatures.They capture a prey every three hours.
The greatest problem ocelots face is caused from humans.The threats are:habitat loss, fur hunting and pet trade.

Gray wolves are ancestors of the domestic dog.
Gray wolves can be found in the United States and in Allaska.Their natural environment are forests and mountainous terrain but Mexican gray wolves can thrive in desert and brush in the southwest.It's height range from 26-32 inches at the shoulder.Their lenght range from 4.5-6.5 feet from nose to tail-tip.Their  weight range from 55-130 lbs; Males are typically heavier and taller than the females.Their lifespane is range from 7-8 years in the wild. 12 years or more in remote or protected areas.It's prey includes large hoofed mammals, like elk, deer, moose and caribou, as well as beaver, rabbits and other small prey.There are an estimated 7,000 to 11,200 gray wolves in Alaska, 3,700 in the Great Lakes region and 1,675 in the Northern Rockies. Gray wolves are thretened by  prejudice, fear and misunderstanding about the species so humans slaughtered by the thousands.

 Almost 1,000 bat species can be found worldwide. Bats can be found almost anywhere in the world except the polar regions and extreme deserts. Bats consume insects , nectar,small mammals, birds, lizards, fish and frogs. The largest bats have a 6 foot wingspan and the bodies of the smallest bats are no more than an inch long.The bodies of the smallest bats are no more than an inch long.Most bats live longer than most mammals . The longest known lifespan of a bat in the wild is 30 years for a little brown bat. Also the greatest threat to bats is people.  In addition, an emerging disease called white nose syndrome is killing large numbers of hibernating bats in North America.

Some species live in shallow,coastal,region, other species live in deep waters , on the ocean floor and in the open ocean.Some species, like the bull shark, are even known to swim in salt, fresh and brackish waters.It is diffficult to estimate population numbers since there are many different species spanning a large geographic area. However, overall shark numbers are on the decline due to the many threats they face in the wild.Most species of shark eat things like fish,,plankton, marine mammals and other sharks. Sharks also have great sense of smell  that allows them to detect blood in the water from miles away.Althought lifespan varies by shark species, most sharks are long-lived and generally tend to live for 20-30 years. Species like the spiny dogfish and the whale shark are believed to live for over 100 years.Sharks threats is illegal finning.

Bats are the only mammals that can fly.
Bats live almost anywhere in the world except the polar regions and deserts. They eat insects, there are fruit-eating , nectar-eatingl, fish-eating  and carnivorous bats that prey on small mammals, birds, lizards and frogs and there are also the blood-sucking vampire bats.
There are million of bats, but some others bats are in danger.
 Most bats live longer than most mammals of their size.
They are thearted by  people and others bats.
Bats can't stand the heat because there are climate changes.

Arctic foxes have several adaptations that allow them to survive. Their round, compact bodies minimize surface area that is exposed to the cold air. Their  ears, and legs are short, which also conserves heat.
It can found in such cold places.
Lemmings are the staple food for Arctic foxes and will eat whatever is available out on the frozen tundra.
Arctic fox populations range in the hundred thousands, but fluctuate with the available lemming population.They usually live around 3 to 6 years.
It's threated mainly by targest of the fur trade some artic fox populations have also fallen victims to diseases spread from domestic dogs. Arctic foxes can range from 2.3 to 3.5 feet in length, in addition to their 12-inch  tail. At the shoulder
they stand around 9 inches to 12 inches tallFemale Arctic foxes tend to be smaller than males.

The orca, or "killer whale" is  the largest member of the dolphin family. Their black bodies are marked with white patches on the underside and near the eyes.
Orcas feed on fish, squid, birds, and marine mammals.
Official worldwide populations of orcas are currently unknown, but likely not to be less than 50,000 whales
 Orcas live 30 to 50 years in the wild.
Pollution and chemical contamination is the greatest threat that killer orca faces.
The killer whale can be found in all oceans of the world.Orcas are most common in the Arctic and Antarctic and are often spotted at the west coast of the United States and Canada

Facts that we have to know about sharks are 
size and lifespan.(for example pygmy shark)They are 7-8 inches long and generally they live 20-30 years along.They could be found in North America, South America , Europe, Africa and Oceania.Sharks live in a wild habitat.Some species live in deep waters, some other in the open ocean and other like bull sharks are allowed to live in rivers.Most species of sharks can eat fish crustaceans,plankton,marine mammals and other species of sharks.Sharks are threatened mostly by humans for their fins and their fat.Sharks are amazing hunters and they are the kings of the ocean.

The tiger is the largest member of the felid (cat) family.
Today, tigers can only be found in south and southeast Asia, China and Russia.
They live in tropical forests, evergree forests, woodlands and grasslands.
They eat deers, wild pigs and antilopes.Tigers also hunt sloths,dogs and leopards.
In the early 1900s they were around 100.000 but nowadays they are about 3500-4000. 
The Asian tiger lives about 
10-15 years. 
Their main threat is the climate change.

Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. With extremely elongated fingers and a wing membrane stretched between, the bat’s wing anatomically resembles the human hand. Almost 1,000 bat species can be found worldwide. In fact, bats make up a quarter of all mammal species on earth!

Bats can be found almost anywhere in the world except the polar regions and extreme deserts but their original home is South America.Bats find shelter in caves, crevices, tree cavities and buildings. Some species are solitary while others form colonies of more than a million individuals.

Bats eat insects and fruits but generally they are a carnivor animals.The vampire bats also suck blood.

The largest bats have a 6 foot wingspan. The bodies of the smallest bats are no more than an inch long.

While some bat populations number in the millions, others are dangerously low or in decline.

Some bats have evolved a highly sophisticated sense of hearing. They emit sounds that bounce off of objects in their path, sending echoes back to the bats. From these echoes, the bats can determine the size of objects, how far away they are, how fast they are traveling and even their texture, all in a split second.

They live about 40 days - 6 months (bigger bats have longer gestation periods).

The threats of bats are two.First, they are scared of people because humans are destroying their habitats.Secondly,climate change impact bats as well.Over the past 15 years, 30,000 flying foxes in Australia – the largest bats in the world – have succumbed to heat stress during heat waves that push daytime temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
