This is the Mountain Bongo.
One of Kenya’s rarest large mammals, and one many people have never even heard of.
These antelopes live only in a few mountain forests, and fewer than 100 remain in the wild!
It’s one of Kenya’s most endangered species.

Is this a momma Leopard, Jaguar... or maybe a Cheetah?
If you're not sure, you're not alone. These three spotted cats confuse a lot of people.
But there ARE clear ways to tell them apart, and once you know them, you'll never mix them up again.

Meet the Alpine Salamander.
It may look like just another amphibian, but did you know they have one of the longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom?
Their babies take 2-4 YEARS to be born.
Yes, you read that right, up to 4 years of pregnancy.

Meet the Zanzibar Red Colobus. Found nowhere else on Earth except on this island, and there are fewer than 6,000 left in the world.
This primate has declined by over 50% in recent decades due to habitat loss and hunting.

This is not a house cat.
It is a sand cat.
This cute cat has fur on the soles of its feet to walk on hot sand and can survive without drinking water - getting moisture from prey alone.
It is one of the wild cats found in Africa

These round amphibians may look like they're all mouth, and that's exactly why their name: Pacman Frog (Horned)
Despite their compact size, they can eat prey nearly as large as themselves, and they're surprisingly aggressive for a frog!

Meet the Elephant shrew!
These tiny insectivores may look like rodents, but they’re not shrews at all, and definitely not related to rats.
Despite their size, they’re part of one of Africa’s most ancient mammal lineages, and they move with incredible speed!

Meet the Bali myna!
This white bird with a bright blue eye patch is Bali’s only endemic bird species, and one of the rarest on Earth. Once nearly extinct due to poaching for the pet trade, fewer than 100 individuals remain in the wild today.

Ever heard of a Binturong?
Also known as the “bearcat,” this shaggy, tree-dwelling mammal lives in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. And fun fact, they smell like buttered popcorn! 🍿
Found from India to the Philippines, it spends most of its life in the canopy

Have you ever heard of the Tomato Frog? 🐸
They are endemic to Madagascar, named for their very vivid red-orange coloration that resembles a ripe tomato.
And when threatened, they can puff up their bodies and even secrete a sticky toxin to deter predators.

Have you ever seen an oryx?
These are desert antelopes that look almost mythical! with long, straight horns and markings that seem hand-painted.
Adapted for extreme heat, oryx can survive without drinking water for days, getting moisture from the plants they eat.

Have you ever seen a Luna Moth in the wild?
I saw a few some years ago, mainly on field trips.
Crazy that only live 7-10 days as adults and do not eat, as they have no mouth!
These giants look like fairies, with wingspans up to 4.5 inches!
