 Giant pandas (often referred to as simply “pandas”) are black and white bears.

In
the wild, they are found in thick bamboo forests, high up in the mountains of
central China. These magnificent mammals are omnivores. But whilst pandas
will occasionally eat small animals and fish, bamboo counts for 99 percent of
their diet. Pandas are BIG eaters – every day they fill their tummies for up to 12
hours, shifting up to 12 kilograms of bamboo!
Peacocks are large, colourful pheasants (typically blue and green)
known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers, or coverts, spread
out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the bird’s total
body length and boast colourful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and
other hues.
The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can
be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and
touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their
mates according to the size, colour, and quality of these outrageous
feather trains.
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family and are renowned for
their power and strength. There were eight tiger subspecies at one time,
but three became extinct during the 20th century. Over the last 100 years,
hunting and forest destruction have reduced tiger populations from
hundreds of thousands of animals to perhaps fewer than 2,500. Tigers
are hunted as trophies, and also for body parts that are used in traditional
Chinese medicine. All five remaining tiger subspecies are at-risk, and
many protection programs are in place.
Bengal tigers live in India and are sometimes called Indian tigers. They
are the most common tiger and number about half of all wild tigers.
Over many centuries they have become an important part of Indian
tradition and lore. (To learn more, watch this video about what's driving
tigers to extinction.)
Pileated woodpeckers are the largest of the common woodpeckers
found in most of North America. These crow-sized birds present a
memorable sight with their zebra-striped heads and necks, long bills,
and distinctive red crests. Pileated woodpeckers forage for their
favourite meal, carpenter ants, by digging large, rectangular holes in
trees. These holes can be so large that they weaken smaller trees or even
cause them to break in half. Other birds are often attracted to these
large openings, eager to access any exposed insects.

Pileated woodpeckers do not discriminate between coniferous and

deciduous trees—as long as they yield the ants and beetle larvae that
make up much of the birds' diet. Woodpeckers sometimes access these
morsels by peeling long strips of bark from the tree, but they also forage
on the ground and supplement their diet with fruits and nuts.
