Sumatran rhinoceros
The Sumatran rhinoceros (
Dicerorhinus sumatrensis
) is the smallest rhino species.
It is also the most distinctive rhinoceros. It has been hunted a lot that it almost extinct.
There are less than 300 Sumatran rhinoceroses surviving in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Between 1985 and 1995, the number of Sumatran rhinos declined by 50 percent because
of poaching and habitat destruction.
The Sumatran rhinoceros has unique gray or reddish-brown coat. It is believed to
be the only survivor of the lineage that included the woolly rhinoceros. Sumatran rhinos
stand up to 1.4 m (4.6 ft) at the shoulder and weigh up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). They have
folded skin, like the other Asian rhinos, except that it is covered with coarse, bristly hair.
The Sumatran is the only rhino in Asia with two horns. The front horn is usually the
longest, reaching a length of 90 cm (36 in), and the rear one is sometimes so small that
the animal looks as if it is single-horned.

They live mainly in forest-covered hills near water and are known to be good at
climbing slopes and swimming. They move mainly at night, and spend most of the day
wallowing in mud-holes and pools.
Sumatran rhinoceroses usually feed on leaves, twigs, and fruit.
Female rhinos reach sexual maturity at about the age of five or six. The males
mature between the ages of seven and eight. However, they do not father calves until
they have claimed a territory, which may take them three or four years.
Rhinos always have a single calf, born after a gestation period of 15 to 18 months. The
calf may feed on its mother’s milk for up to two years, and it usually remains with its
mother until she is about to give birth once more. The calf is only raised by its mother.

The Blue Whale
The Blue Whale is largest whale and the largest living creature
on Earth. Blue whales were hunted a lot for oil, baleen, meat, and
other products from the 1930s to the 1960s. This hunting almost
caused the extinction of the species. They are now protected and
may gradually be returning in several areas.
Blue whales are mainly found in very cold waters, like the Arctic
and Antarctic waters. They migrate to the tropics in the winter and
to the Arctic and Antarctic in summer.
Blue whales can reach over 24 m (80 ft) long; mature females are
usually a bit longer than mature males. They weigh between 87,500-
142,500 kg. The skin has a light grey and white spotty pattern.
Blue whales feed by opening its mouth into dense groups of
small sea creatures like plankton, krill or fish.
Blue whales are mammals. They give birth once every two or
three years. Mating occurs during the summer season, and they give
birth after about 11 months. The calf nurse for seven or eight months
and gain weight about 90 kg (200 lb) per day.

KOMODO DRAGON
The Komodo Dragon is the world’s biggest
lizard. It is a reptile, a cold-blooded animal. It is
diurnal, most active during the day. The Komodo
Dragon is a fast runner; it can run up to 11 mph (18
kph). It is also a good tree climber and swimmer.
The Komodo Dragon’s scientific name is
Varanus komodoensis
. It is in danger of
extinction because of habitat lost. Its life span is about 20 years.
Komodo Dragons live on islands in Indonesia, including the island of Komodo.
They live in hot, humid, grassy lowlands and in rainforests.
The Komodo Dragon is about 9 feet (2.8 m) long, but can get up to 10 feet (3 m)
long and weighs up to 300 pounds (135 kg). It has large jaws, four short legs, and five-
toed feet with sharp claws. The tail is longer than the body. It senses chemicals with a
long, yellow, forked tongue.
The Komodo Dragon is a carnivore (meat-eater). It eats almost anything that it
can catch, including goats, deer, wild boars, other lizards, and carrion (dead meat that it
finds). The Komodo Dragon has disease-ridden bacteria in its mouth. After it bites its
prey, the victim will get sick and die from blood poisoning in one or two days. The
Komodo Dragon will then find the body and eat it.

the bear's feet from the cold and provides grip on the ice. Stiff hairs on the forelegs, and
very broad front feet, help the bear swim.
Polar bears have a strong navigational sense and an extremely good sense of
smell, and they are unusually clever at solving problems in order to obtain food. Since
they are carnivores; they eat primarily ringed seals, and occasionally bearded seals,
walruses, or white whales. They also feed on berries, sedges, mussels, and kelp.
They live in pack ice where water is accessible. They can be found throughout
Arctic regions.
Except during the breeding season, male polar bears are solitary and roam over
vast expanses of sea ice while hunting. During the breeding season (May to June), the
males fight furiously over females. Both the male and female may mate with other
individuals as well. The female typically gives birth to two cubs after a four- to five-
month gestation period. Cubs remain with the mother for about 28 months, often
nursing the entire time. The young are very small when born: about 1 kg (about 2 lb).
Their eyes remain closed for about 40 days and they must nurse every few hours. The
mother holds them close to keep them warm.

2. Where is its habitat?
3.
What is the giant panda’s main diet?
4. When do giant pandas mate?
5. Why is the giant panda endangered?
The giant panda is the common name for a bear found in
provinces of western China. The giant panda resembles
other bears in general appearance, with the exception of the
black patches over its eyes, ears, and legs and the black band
across its shoulders. Giant pandas live in bamboo forests at
high elevations and feed primarily on bamboo. Unlike other
bears, they vocalize by bleating rather than roaring.
Females weigh about 80 kg (about 180 lb), and males weigh about 100 kg (about
220 lb). The giant panda's so-called sixth front toe is not a digit or claw but an enlarged
wrist bone that functions as a thumb in grasping food.
Giant pandas feed almost exclusively on bamboo, which is not highly nutritious.
Furthermore, some bamboo species flower simultaneously and die shortly afterward,
occasionally leading to starvation among giant panda populations. If their usual food
supply is threatened, giant pandas may feed on gardens, crops, and even chickens, but
they are little threat to people except in close encounters.
The habitats of family groups and the survival of juvenile giant pandas are still
poorly understood. Giant pandas seem to have no permanent den and do not hibernate,
although they shelter in the winter in dens or hollow trees. Giant pandas are fairly
solitary most of the year. Females may live in loose groups within the range of a
dominant male.
Breeding takes place from March to May, and the young are born three to six
months later weighing only 85 to 140 g (3 to 5 oz). Two cubs may be born, but only one
survives. The young cry loudly for help and require great care from the mothers, and
losses of young are a serious problem in the recovery and management of giant-panda
populations. The giant panda's broken range has created six isolated populations. The
total number of giant pandas in the wild is now about 1,000. Because giant pandas are
restricted to a small area of western China, their status may be the most precarious of all
the species of bears.
