About Wildlife

Did you know that the capybara, the world's largest rodent, is an excellent swimmer? Or that giant pandas spend an impressive 12 hours per day eating? We share our planet with some pretty amazing beings, ranging in size from the massive blue whale to the tiny bee hummingbird. Some animals live in the ocean (like the walrus and the manatee), some live in the rainforest (like the tamarin and the anteater), and some even live in the barren desert (like the sand cat and the oryx). There are, sadly, endangered and extinct animals. Learn more about the fascinating creatures of the world in this Animals Facts portal.
