Of the seven known Alligator Gar species, the alligator is the largest, reaching up to ten feet (three meters) long and tipping the scales at up to 300 pounds (140 kilograms). The African wild dog, also called Cape hunting dog or painted dog, typically in the area of sub-Saharan Africa. The prehistoric-looking alligator snapping turtle is the largest freshwater turtle in North America and also known as the greatest in the world. Giraffes legs allow them to run as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometres) an hour over short distances and cruise comfortably at 10 miles (16 kilometres) an hour over longer distances. Rhesus monkeys are familiar brown monkeys with red faces and bottoms.

Fishy Facts 



Fish are cold-blooded animals with backbones, gills, and fins. Most fishes are torpedo-shaped for the efficient travel through water, but much variation occurs, from flattened and rounded, as in flounders, to vertical and angular, as in sea horses. Fishes range in size from the pygmy goby, of the Philippines, which reaches only 12 mm (0.5 in) long and about 1.5 g (0.05 oz) in weight and is mature at 6 mm (0.25 in), to the whale shark which grows to 18 m (60 ft) long and over 20 tons in weight. Fish were among the first animals systematically hunted by primitive humans. Even today, relatively primitive societies in the South Pacific and South America depend largely on fish for food; while in many industrialized nations, fish still constitute a major part of the diet. It is said that the search for codfish led French fishermen to the discovery of Canada and that villages sprang up on the coasts of Norway, Scotland, Japan, and other countries wherever shoals of herrings regularly came close to shore. Today fishes are harvested for unprocessed human food, fish meal, animal feed, and oil. They also are pursued avidly by sport anglers, who contribute to the economy of fishing areas and to specific industries. Currently, however, the increasing human population, over fishing to supply this population, and pollution of the world's waters are all cutting heavily into the world supply of fish, and threatening the existence of a number of species. At the same time, regulations to curtail the taking of certain species or sizes are virtually unenforceable on an international level.

Home Animals 

Cats and Dogs are the main animals in Britain. This is because some animals need warmth and Britain don’t give that kind of warmth or as much warmth. My cats at home love to go out but they are still to young to go out. Why is this? Well I’ll tell you my cats cannot go outside because they are still to small and cars cannot see them if they cross a road at night.
