The snowy owlWhen you see a snowy owl it is clear how it got its
name. It got its name because it is so white. The male owls are
generally whiter than the females. As males grow older they get
whiter.Females are never completely white they usually remain
brownish with dark markings.They live mainly in the Arctic in wide
open areas called tundra.The scientific name for the Snowy Owl is
Nyctea Scandiaca.
CheetahFastest mammal on land the cheetah can reach speeds of 60
or 70 miles over an hour.Cheetahs eat small to medium sized
animals, such as hares, impalas, wildebeest calves, and
gazelles.The scientific name for cheetahs is Acinonyx jubatus. What
a weird name.
ChimpanzeesChimpanzees are found in dense rainforests, open
woodlands, and broad grasslands in Africa.The number of chimpanzees
in the wild has been reduced to about 200,000 scattered across 21
nations in Africa.The scientific name for the chimpanzee is Pan
Troglodytes.During the day chimpanzees spend most of their time in
trees swinging from branch to branch.
Bull sharksBull sharks are the most dangerous sharks in the
world, according to many experts. This is because they are an
aggressive species of sharks, and they tend to hunt in waters where
people often swim: In tropical coast lines.They eat mainly fish but
they also eat dolphins and sea turtles.The scientific name for a
Bull shark is Carcharhinus Leucas.
Brown BearsAs winter approaches, brown bears often called
grizzly bears prepare for a long hibernation. During the fall a
brown bear eats practically around the clock, stocking up for four
to seven months when itll have to live off stored body fat. A
grizzly may chow down on 90 pounds of food a day.
