 The
Serval,
found in most parts of Africa, has extraordinarily long legs for its body
size which can be up to 1m (3ft) in length, whilst standing up to 50cm
(20in) in shoulder height. Although a medium sized cat, it preys on smaller
mammals such as hare, rodents and birds.
 The
planet's most efficient killers, Sharks
are powerful hunters able to catch 500kg (1,100lb) tuna, small whales,
and, occasionally, people with ease. There are some 350 species of sharks,
the majority of which cannot stop for long or move backwards, as can most
other fish. Sharks are immune to all known diseases.
Sheep
 Dall's
Sheep: A subarctic and arctic animal, living on alpine ridges,
meadows, and steep, rocky slopes, the rams are 90cm (35in) to shoulder,
weighing up to 110kg (250lb). It is the only wild white sheep in the world.
Dall sheep have hollow hair which insulates their body.

Africa's only amphibious antelope, the Sitatunga
lives in thickly vegetated, muddy swamps and marshes. Among the adaptations
for its aquatic habitat are the long, splayed hooves that enable the sitatunga
to stand and even walk on floating islands of vegetation. The hair is
thin and coated with an oily, water-repellent secretion.

 The
sole member of the genus Uncia uncia, the Snow
Leopard grows up to 1,3m (4'5") in length, with a tail of
almost 1m (3'2"), and weighs up to 75kg (165lb). Found in the mountains
of central Asia, this endangered species preys on Bharal (Blue Sheep),
Argali, Markhor, Ibex, Musk Deer, marmots, hare and birds. It can bring
down prey more than three times its size.
 Tamaraw:
One of the world's rarest mammals, this small wild buffalo was first documented
by Westerners only in 1888. It is found only on the island of Mindoro,
Philippines. Weighing about 300kg (660 lb), it lives in dense forest close
to water for wallowing. The tamaraw apparently associates in pairs rather
than herds, except when the cows are about to give birth.
 Tapir:
There are two species: Baird's Tapir grows to 2m (6.5ft), weighing up
to 400kg (880lb), and is found in Central America; the Malayan Tapir grows
to 2,4m (8ft) and weighs up to 320kg (700lb). They live up to 30 years,
eating tender leaves and shoots. Tapirs are agile and can negotiate steep
slopes with ease. They communicate with shrill whistles.
 Tasmanian
Devil: Its spine-chilling screeches, black colour, and reputed
bad-temper, led the early European settlers to call it The Devil. Although
only the size of a small dog, its powerful jaws and teeth enable it to
completely devour its prey - bones, fur and all. The young are born in
the mother's backward-opening pouch, firmly attaching themself to a teat
for the first 4 months.
Thomson's
Gazelle
 The
male Siberian or Amur Tiger,
with a total body length in excess of 3m and weighing up to 300kg is by
far the largest and most powerful member of the cat family. As is common
with many cats the tiger will cache its food supply, returning to feed
on the carcass over several days. Tigers have striped skin, not just striped
fur.
Toads

 Found
in Africa, Topis
have a remarkable social organization, defending their territory against
intruding topi herds. Each male has his "stomping ground," a patch of
trampled bare earth upon which he stands. If another male intrudes, the
two go down on their knees and fight with their horns.
