Elephant: elephants continue to grow throughout their lives so the older they get, the bigger they become. Another feature of this amazing animal is its ivory tusks, which are actually an extension of its incisor teeth.
Tiger: Tiger is the largest of all the big cats on your planet. It is also one of the most powerful hunters.

Giraffe: There are nine recognized subspecies of giraffe: Nigerian, Kordofan, Nubian, reticulated, Rothschild, Masai, Thorneycroft, Angolan and South African.
Amphibian & Reptiles:
Turtles: Turtles, like all reptiles, bask in the sun to get energy to move around. Here, these three have found a convenient branch protruding from the water. If they are disturbed they swiftly slip into the water with barely a sound.
Black Caimen head on: The caiman is supremely adapted to aquatic life, with eyes and nostrils at the top of the head. Note that the nostrils are sealed, to prevent water entering when the animal is under water. Black caiman are big enough to take even the largest Amazon land animals. When an animal approaches close to the river bank, the caiman will lunge forward and grab the animal, pulling it under water where it quickly drowns.
