Star-nosed Mole
The Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) is a small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States.
It lives in wet lowland areas and eats small invertebrates, aquatic insects, worms and molluscs.
It is a good swimmer and can forage along the bottoms of streams and ponds.
Like other moles, this animal digs shallow surface tunnels for foraging; often, these tunnels exit underwater.
It is active day and night and remains active in winter, when it has been observed tunnelling through the snow and swimming in ice-covered streams.
Axolotl
The Axolotl (or ajolote) (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled.
The species originates from the lake underlying Mexico City. Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate most body parts, ease of breeding, and large embryos.
They are commonly kept as pets in the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Japan (where they are sold under the name Wooper Rooper, and other countries.
Tarsier
Tarsiers
are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family
Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder
Tarsiiformes.
Tarsiers have enormous eyes and long feet.
Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus
bones, which is how they got their name.
They are primarily insectivorous, and catch
insects by jumping at them. They are also known to prey on birds and snakes.
As
they jump from tree to tree, tarsiers can catch even birds in motion.[citation
needed] Gestation takes about six months, and tarsiers give birth to single
offspring. All tarsier species are nocturnal in their habits, but like many
nocturnal organisms some individuals may show more or less activity during the
daytime.
