This Critically Endangered lemur lives only in the papyrus and reed beds surrounding Madagascar’s largest lake - Lac Alaotra.

Found: South America..Habitats: The spectacled bear has a reputation for being adaptable, as it is found in a wide variety of habitats and altitudes throughout its range, including cloud forests, high altitude grasslands, dry forest and scrub desert, at altitudes of 250 to the snowline.

Found: Madagascar. Lemur catta Habitat: The ring-tailed lemur lives in dry brush and scrub, as well as closed canopy forest. Unlike other lemur species it is found in open areas and will walk along the ground as well as moving between the trees.

Found: Madagascar.Habitat: This species is very patchily distributed in lowland to mid-altitude rain forests. Black-and-white Ruffed Lemurs maintain large home ranges consisting of primary forest with tall trees. They are almost exclusively fruit eaters, and as they are very selective feeders, this makes them especially susceptible to disturbance. This species is named after the thick black and white coat it possesses, especially the thick tufts on its ears.

Range: Found from extreme south-central Canada, through the United States, and into north-eastern Mexico

Found: Africa Location: Savannah. Threats: Peralta giraffes are critically endangered and the population of Peralta Giraffes in Niger are the last Giraffes in West Africa. They live in an unprotected area of southwest Niger in direct contact with an ever-growing population competing for space and food. The destiny of the last Giraffes of West Africa is thus closely dependent on that of the human population

These frogs are often considered innocuous due to their small size and bright colours, but wild frogs are lethally toxic, and may be the most poisonous of any living animal.

Endemic to the wet forests and lowlands of the Golfo Dulce region in the south-western part of Costa Rica.

Range: Found in Africa (Ethiopia and Somalia), Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Threats: The hamadryas baboon is listed as ‘vermin’ by the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. The Hamadryas has been exterminated in Egypt and reduced in numbers in other areas. Locally the baboon is at risk from an increase in populated areas, overgrazing, development and deforestation which has lead to conflicts with people.

Found: South America. Range: The Jaguar has been virtually eliminated from much of the drier northern parts of its range, as well as northern Brazil, the pampas scrub grasslands of Argentina and throughout Uruguay. It is now estimated to occupy only about 46% of its historic range.

Range: Once found throughout Europe, Asia and Africa lions are now found only in sub-Saharan Africa,

Range: Once found throughout Europe, Asia and Africa lions are now found only in sub-Saharan Africa, Female lions are the primary hunters of the group. They are smaller and more agile than males. But since their prey is still generally faster than them, they use teamwork to bring an animal down. Fanning out, they form a semicircle, with the smaller, weaker lionesses herding the prey towards the centre. Then the stronger females knock the animal down and make the kill.

Location Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, Cabinda (enclave of Angola) and the extreme western tip of Zaire.

This species is currently known with certainty only from a single location in the vicinity of the town of Santa Rosa at the foothills of the Cordillera del Cóndor (Cajamarca Department), north-eastern Peru, at around 1,000m asl.

The meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small mammal belonging to the mongoose family. Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about half this in the wild.

This frog lives high in the canopy of South America’s humid tropical rainforests. These species breed in tree cavities and may never come down to the ground. Because of their tree-dwelling lifestyle, they are rarely seen but have characteristic loud calls. They often live in vegetation which grows over slow-moving water.
