 The
Margay
is similar in appearance to the Ocelot but smaller, growing to 69cm
(27in). Its range extends from Mexico to Argentina. Totally at home
in tree tops, its specially adapted claws and ankle joints can move
through 180 degrees, enabling it to move with almost monkey like ease.

 Meerkat:
Found in the Kalahari desert in Southern Africa, male and female meerkats
are hard to identify from each other mainly because they are both
the same size, at 50cm (20in) with the tail itself at 20cm (8in) long.
They eat insects, small mammals, scorpions, lizards, and snakes. Meerkats
are immune to scorpion venom. The meerkats' society is formed into
groups, called "colonies" or "mobs", with up to 40 inhabitants each.
They have a lifespan of about 10 years.

 The
Ocelot
swims well and although not as adept in climbing as the Margay, will
hunt for birds and also sleep in the lower tree branches in its forest
habitat of Central America and the northern countries of South America.
Ocelots weigh up to 14kg and have a lifespan of 8-11 years.
 Octopus
The blue-ringed octopus is the size of
a golf ball but its poison is powerful enough to kill an adult human in
minutes. The last thing the victim sees are the blue rings - visible only
when it is about to attack. It is brown or yellow in its natural state,
found in the shallow pools around the Australian coast.

as they seem, Orangutans
are wild animals perfectly suited to their forest environment in Sumatra
and Borneo. Weighing in at a hefty 90kg (200lb), an adult male orangutan
is four times stronger than a man and the largest animal to dwell
in trees. Orangutans have been observed making simple tools to scratch
themselves, to probe into narrow openings for hidden food and to gain
leverage.
