AQUATIC ANIMALS

IN
AQUATIC HABITAT

Sea Otter

The sea otter is a marine mammal native to the

coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific
Ocean. Adult sea otters typically weigh between 14
and 45 kg, making them the heaviest members of the
weasel family, but among the smallest marine
mammals.

Beluga Whale

The beluga whale is easily recognizable thanks to its

stark white coloring and globular head. Belugas are
very social animals, and it's possible to see pods
numbering in the hundreds during a trip to Churchill,
Canada. 10. Also known as "sea canaries," belugas are
one of the most the most vocal of all whales.

Octopus

An octopus is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of

the order Octopoda The order consists of some 300
species and is grouped within the class Cephalopoda
with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids. Like other
cephalopods, an octopus is bilaterally symmetric with
two eyes and a beaked mouth at the center point of
the eight limbs.The soft body can radically alter its
shape, enabling octopuses to squeeze through small
gaps. They trail their eight appendages behind them
as they swim.

TERRESTRIAL ANIMALS

TERRESTRIAL HABITAT
 Deer
Deer or true deer are hoofed ruminant
mammals forming the family Cervidae.
The two main groups of deer are the
Cervinae, including the muntjac, the elk,
the red deer, and the fallow deer; and
the Capreolinae, including the reindeer,
white-tailed deer, the roe deer, and the
moose.

COUGAR

The cougar is a large cat native to the Americas.

Its range spans from the Canadian Yukon to the
southern Andes in South America and is the
most widespread of any large wild terrestrial
mammal in the Western Hemisphere. It is an
adaptable, generalist species, occurring in most
American habitat types.

ELEPHANT
Elephants are the largest land mammals on earth
and have distinctly massive bodies, large ears,
and long trunks. They use their trunks to pick up
objects, trumpet warnings, greet other
elephants, or suck up water for drinking or
bathing, among other uses. Both male and female
African elephants grow tusks and each individual
can either be left- or right-tusked, and the one
they use more is usually smaller because of wear
and tear.

DESERT ANIMALS

DESERT HABITAT
Meerkat

Meerkats, also known as suricats, depend on group

cooperation to survive in the Kalahari Desert. They
live in groups of 20-50 extended family members in
large underground tunnels.

These family groups, called gangs or mobs, are led by

an alpha pair, with the female being the most
dominant. Most of the group members are either
children or siblings of the alpha pair.

Desert Plated Lizard

The desert plated lizard (Gerrhosaurus skoogi ) is a

reptile species endemic to the northern Namib
Desert in Namibia and Angola. Also known as the
sand plated lizard, it is diurnal.

Desert Camel

Camel, (genus Camelus), any of three species of large

ruminating hoofed mammals of arid Africa and Asia
known for their ability to go for long periods without
drinking. The Arabian camel, or dromedary (Camelus
dromedarius), has one back hump, while the
domesticated Bactrian camel (C. bactrianus) and the
wild Bactrian camel (C. ferus) have two.These “ships
of the desert” have long been valued as pack or
saddle animals, and they are also exploited for milk,
meat, wool, and hides.

 AQUATIC HABITAT

Aquatic habitats are ones that are found in and around bodies of water, like lakes, rivers,
ponds, and wetlands.

Some examples of animals that lived in an Aquatic Habitat

DOLPHINS

A dolphin is an aquatic mammal within the

infraorder Cetacea. Dolphin species belong to the
families Delphinidae, Platanistidae, Iniidae,
Pontoporiidae, and the extinct Lipotidae. There are
40 extant species named as dolphins. 

CRABS

Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder

Brachyura, which typically have a very short
projecting "tail", usually hidden entirely under the
thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in
freshwater, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, and have a single pair of
pincers.

 
STING RAYS

Rays are predominantly marine and are found in all

oceans. Many are slow-moving bottom dwellers.
Manta rays feed on plankton and small animals; others
take various fishes and invertebrates, sometimes
damaging commercially valuable shellfish beds. Other
than skates, most or possibly all rays bear living
young.

TERESTRIAL HABITAT
Terrestrial habitats are ones that are found on land, like forests, grasslands, deserts,
shorelines, and wetlands. Terrestrial habitats also include man made habitats, like farms, towns,
and cities, and habitats that are under the earth, like caves and mines.

Some examples of animals that lived in Terrestrial Habitat

CARABAO

The carabao is a domestic swamp-type water buffalo

native to the Philippines. Carabaos were introduced to
Guam from the Spanish Philippines in the 17th
century. They have acquired great cultural
significance to the Chamorro people and are
considered the unofficial national animal of Guam.

HORSES

The horse is a domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammal. It

belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae and is one of
two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. The horse has
evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a
small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large,
single-toed animal of today.

GOAT
Any of various hollow-horned ruminant mammals (especially of the genus Capra) related to the sheep
but of lighter build and with backwardly arching horns, a short tail, and usually straight hair

DESERT HABITAT

Desert habitats are incredibly hot and dry places but some animals and plants can survive
there. Watch the video to learn all about desert habitats.

Some examples of animals that lived in an Desert Habitat

DESERT KING SNAKE

The desert kingsnake is a species of kingsnake

native to Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, United
States. It is not venomous, colored yellow and
black. The desert kingsnake's diet consists of
rodents, lizards, and smaller snakes, including
rattlesnakes.

DESERT TARANTULA (female)

A female tarantula has a

more stocky body than a male
and is covered in a light brown
or tan hair (thus it is sometimes
called the Arizona Blond
Tarantula). The male is thinner
and "lankier", with black hair
covering most of the body and
reddish hairs on its abdomen.
Tarantulas have two body parts (the cephalothorax and the
abdomen), eight walking legs and two pedipalps that are used for
touching and moving prey.

BLACK VULTURE

Black Vultures might be considered rather handsome, for vultures.

They have sooty black plumage, featherless black heads, and white stars under their wingtips. These
birds are particularly fascinating because they have a very complex social structure. They exhibit
strong family loyalty and mate for life.

ANIMALS IN AQUATIC HABITAT

JELLY FISH

Jellyfish and sea jellies are the informal common names

given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members
of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum
Cnidaria.

FLAT FISH

Flat fish are members of the order Pleuronectiformes

of ray-finned demersal fish, or ‘Heterosomata’.
Many flat fish have both eyes on one side of their head. Some have the left side of their face upwards
whilst others have the right, or can face either side. Examples of Flat fish include: Brill, Dab,
Megrim, Plaice, Sole, and Turbot.

MUSSELS

Marine mussels are usually wedge-shaped or pear-

shaped and range in size from about 5 to 15 centimetres
(about 2 to 6 inches). They may be smooth or ribbed and
often have a hairy covering. The shells of many species
are dark blue or dark greenish brown on the outside; on
the inside they are often pearly.

COYOTE

Jellyfish and sea jellies are the informal common names

given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of
the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum
Cnidaria.

PRAIRE DOGS

Prairie dogs are herbivorous burrowing ground

squirrels native to the grasslands of North America.
Within the genus are five species: black-tailed, white-
tailed, Gunnison's, Utah, and Mexican prairie dogs.
 GIRAFFE

Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their

towering legs and long necks. A giraffe's legs alone are taller
than many humans—about 6 feet . These long legs allow
giraffes to run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances
and cruise comfortably at 10 miles an hour over longer
distances.

ANIMALS IN DESERT HABITAT

DROMEDARY

The dromedary, also known as the dromedary camel,

Arabian camel, or one-humped camel, is a large even-
toed ungulate, of the genus Camelus, with one hump
on its back. It is the tallest of the three species of
camel; adult males stand 1.8–2.4 m at the shoulder,
while females are 1.7–1.9 m tall.

DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP

Desert bighorn sheep in Zion National Park

have made a phenomenal comeback following a
1973 reintroduction effort by the Utah Division
of Wildlife Resources (UDWR). Since 2008,
after decades of stunted herd growth, desert
bighorn sheep are flourishing. And, because of
this recovery success, the state is taking careful
action to keep the Zion herd healthy and away
from disease, which has impacted herds across
the West.

BARBARY OSTRICH

The ostrich is equipped with long, muscular legs

built for running. Unlike other birds, who have three
or four toes, ostriches have only two toes on each
foot which allows for greater speed. They can sprint
as fast as 70 km/h (43 mph) and hold steady speeds
of 50 km/h (31 mph). One stride can span 3-5 m
(10-16 ft.)! When confronted with danger, ostriches
can usually outrun any animals posing a threat.

FOREST HABITAT

A forest habitat is aforest or woodland that provides a 'habitat'(a place to live) for a variety of
plants and animals. To look at, a forest habitat is a collection of treesthat cover a specific area.
There are lots of different levels to a forest.

Some examples of animals that lived in an Forest Habitat

 MOOSE
The moose or elk is a member of the New World
deer subfamily and is the only species in the genus
Alces. It is the largest and heaviest extant species in
the deer family. Most adult male moose have
distinctive broad, palmate antlers; most other members
of the deer family have antlers with a dendritic
configuration.

WOLF
The wolf, also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a
large canine native to Eurasia and North America. More than
thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, and
gray wolves, as popularly understood, comprise wild
subspecies. The wolf is the largest extant member of the
family Canidae.

 
SQUIRREL
Rays are predominantly marine and are found in all
oceans. Many are slow-moving bottom dwellers.
Manta rays feed on plankton and small animals; others
take various fishes and invertebrates, sometimes
damaging commercially valuable shellfish beds. Other
than skates, most or possibly all rays bear living young.
