The next animals are uncia uncia (pronounce as ounce) a.k.a snow leopard. They are well known for its beautiful fur which are either whitish-tan with dark ringed spots or ashy-brown with rosettes of black. Its tail and paws are heavy with fur. This is for protection against cold weather. To my surprise, they can't roar due to the absent of larynx and that they possess an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone (whatever that is). I'll ask my science teacher about that. Anyways, the two snow leopard cubs are 55-days-old and they are currently living at the Conservation Breeding Centre in the Himalayan Padmaja Naidu Zoological Park in Darjeeling. Wheww! That's a long name! Speaking about names, those adorable cubs names are Athiti and Pakriti. The adult uncia uncia name? I don't know.
This is another type of a strange animal. Its a baby slender loris and WHOA! It is sooo small!Looks like an XXXS size monkey. To my amazement, they're not monkeys!They are actually bats! The smallest bats in the whole wide world, to be precise. The one in the picture is founded at Beijing. Haha, just imagine...If it was our pet and we lost it...How in the world are we gonna find it?
The last animal is a Pangolin. The name "pangolin" is actually from the Malay word, "Pengguling". From that name, we can know that it loves to roll(Keep rolling!Rolling!Rolling!). Anyways, they are scaly anteaters which can be found in the tropical region of Africa and Asia. These animals are really lazy. Why? Because it spends most of its time curled up like a ball and sleeping!
DID YOU KNOW:
These animals are some of the critically endangered animals around the world. Because they are rare, scientists thought up an idea to avoid their extinction. What was their idea? CLONING. BTW,they said that cloning dead people are impossible. Don't know why...
