Zebras are social animals and live in small family groups that combine into large herds. Even when grouped in a massive swath of other zebras, they remain close to their families.

It is one of the most adaptable ruminants, able to live in a wide array of environments, from desert to savanna, grassland to mountain. The only environments not suitable for an eland are swamps, forest, and deserts.

Egyptians used to bind the horns of oryx together to make them appear like they had one horn. Soon their horns would grow together. This may be where the unicorn myths began.

The Ankole-Watusi are known as the show stoppers of the bovine world. They are medium sized animals, but tend to catch the eye whenever their nearby. They have often been dubbed as the "cattle of kings"

Just like in camels, hump serves as a reservoir of fat that can be used as a source of energy when regular food is not available.

Kudu is one of the loudest antelopes. It produces gruff like barking sound which is used for communication.

The stomach of the mouflon is multi-chambered, having special microbes that are capable of breaking down the cellulose present in the cell walls of the fibrous plant matter they consume and digest them easily.

The name giraffe comes from the Arabic word “zarafah,” which means “one who walks swiftly.”

Nilgais release a scent from the glands on their feet to mark the place where they take a rest during the day.

Gemsbok can reach 75 to 94 inches in length, 48 inches in height and 220 to 460 pounds of weight.

The newborns are capable of traversing rocky hills just (almost immediately) after being born.

American alligators have been observed using lures to hunt birds. They balance sticks and branches on their heads, attracting birds looking for nesting material.

"White-tailed" refers to the white underside of the deer's tail, which it displays and wags when it senses danger.

Bison are North America's largest land animals. Mature bulls weigh up to 2,000 pounds and mature cows as much as 1,000 pounds.

Macaws live to be around 60 years in the wild on average, and in some cases this can extend for up to 80 years and even as long as 100 years.

Whiskers are found not only on a fox's face, but also his legs. This helps him to better navigate in his dark den.

Sloths have a four-part stomach that very slowly digests the tough leaves they eat, it can sometimes take up to a month for them to digest a meal.

Like kangaroos, wallabies have powerful, big tails. Though they are not prehensile (used for gripping), wallabies do use their tails to maintain balance and to hold themselves in a sitting posture.

Porcupines belong to the rodent animal family. This means that they are related to squirrels, mice, rats, and rabbits.

They’re known locally as the “stinkers of the forest.” When in danger, the tamandua starts hissing and detonates a skunk-like stink bomb from a gland under its tail.

Pythons also don’t smell with their noses like we do. They instead use their forked tongues to taste the air. They have special receptors in their mouth that take the scent molecules so that they can locate their prey.

Albino alligators lack the pigment melanin. They are the offspring of two normal-looking alligators that carry the recessive gene for albinism. Albino alligators have ivory-white skin and pinkish eyes.

Crocodiles have the most sophisticated heart in the animal kingdom, and actively change the destination of blood that flows through it depending on requirements.

Raccoon's hand looks like human's. They have five fingers and use their hands to collect food, open shells, door or trash cans…

Bobcats can run at up to 48 km/h (30 mph) and they put their back feet in the same spots where their front feet stepped to reduce noise when hunting.

Lemurs use scents to communicate with other lemurs

With its impressive hood, the king cobra is the favouite among snake charmers. Contrary to popular belief though, It can't hear the music being played as it can only pick up vibrations in the ground as is deaf to sounds travelling through air, but it still dances to rhythm because it follows the movement of the instrument.

Water buffaloes are herbivores and feed on grass, herbs, and other vegetation. Since they spend most of their time submerged in water , aquatic plants make up most of their diet. Because of this, their presence in a particular habitat depends on water availability.

These animals have great speed and endurance; when in danger they can maintain a gallop with a speed of 40 miles per hour for approximately 15 miles. Their top speed is about 50 miles per hour.

Llamas make excellent guards for herds of small animals. They are very social and will ‘adopt’ a group of sheep or goats as their own herd. Then they will protect the herd by chasing off coyotes and other predators.

Sika Deer are very opportunistic when it comes to the foods they eat. As a result they seem to do very well finding enough to survive on. The specifics of what they will eat depends though on the region where they reside.

They have two sets of eyelids, one for blinking and the other for keeping the dust out!

Male wildebeest are also known as "clowns of savanna" because of the weird behavior during mating season.

Rheas can’t fly, but they can run fast. They use their wings for balance when they’re running.
