 Micro Project Report

Title: Unique Animals and Birds

 Aim of Project

To make case study for Unique Animals and Birds

 Literature Review

1) Able to make various case studies.

2) Increase knowledge Environment Studies.

 Animals:
Our planet Earth is home to about 8.7 million animal species, living in air, water and
on land. Some of these are extremely friendly, while some are terribly dangerous. But there is
always something fascinating about them. Here is a list of ten unique animals; they stand out
even after being in the same group. Here are the top 5 unique animals in the world,

1] Thorny Dragon

Moloch Horrid us, also named as Thorny dragon has got its name inspired from
Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’. With the spikes all over the body, they can easily scare away their
predators. Well, that’s not the only unique thing about the Thorny Devil.

These creatures only feed on black ants and drink dew. They are quite a bit aggressive
in nature and puff themselves when approached. What helps them the most during a fight is
their false head? At the time of need, they squeeze in their real head between their forelegs,
thus leaving behind the false head and creating an illusion. Another unique thing is the
interesting fact that Thorny Dragon can change its color too.
2] SAIGA ANTELOPE:
Saiga Antelope is a goat-like small animal with a huge nose whose insides are
complex. The nasal openings are lined with hairs, glands, and mucous tracts. The only other
mammal to have a similar structure is a whale. According to the reports of National
Geographic, this unique creature’s micro-trunk nose helps in communicating and choosing
their partner. Saigas have heavy fur. Sadly, once a huge race, today Saiga Antelope is on the
verge of extinction.

3] OKAPI
One of the strange African animals found in the dense forest of the African rainforest,
Okapi is a cud-chewing mammal belonging to the Giraffidae family. First discovered in 1901
by Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston, Okapi comes in the same family as a giraffe but looks
nowhere like a zebra. It has a long tongue, shorter neck, and shorter legs, with horizontal
stripes on his buttocks, thighs, foreleg, just like zebra. They are a shy and solitary animal.
Herbivorous Okapis are almost 5 feet tall. Today, the species comes in the list of endangered
species and needs protection.
4] EMPEROR TAMARIN
The resemblance of the mammal to that of the German emperor Wilhelm II is the
reason behind its name. The fascinating thing about them is their elongated mustache,
reddish-orange tail and the fact that they mostly give birth to twins. These small mammals
live in an extended family, which might consist of as many as 15 members. They are
omnivores and feed on flowers, fruits, nectars, and other small animals. Emperor Tamarin is
grey in color, with black hands and feet. This monkey species is found in dense forests but
due to the reckless cutting of trees, today they are on the verge of extinction.

5] Malayan Flying
There are many names to Malayan Colugo. Call it Sunda flying lemur or Sunda
Colugo, or Malayan flying colugo. Found in solitary or in small groups, Malayan Colugo
doesn’t fly; rather they climb up the trees. They are excellent climbers. They feed on leaves,
nuts, fruits, and etcetera. They are called flying lemurs due to the large gliding membrane,
which helps them to glide on the trees. Unda Colugo is protected by national legislation. In
addition to deforestation and loss of habitat, local subsistence hunting poses a serious threat
to this mammal. Competition with the plantain squirrel represents another challenge for these
amazing spices.
 Birds:
The world is home to 9,993 bird species of endangered, unique and rare birds live
worldwide. Rare and unique birds in the World also includes Flightless birds, colorful Long
Tailed Widowbird, Indian Peacock, barn owl, Macaws, Grey Crowned Crane, Secretary bird
and the most beautiful Birds of Paradise

1] Oilbird

The Oilbird ‘s ancestors appear to have diverged from all other birds before the cataclysm
that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs, the pterosaurs, and countless other forms of life. It’s a
bat-like cave-dwelling, echolocating, fruit-eating nocturnal species capable of hovering on
three-foot wings. The Oilbird today lives only in South America, but fossils of similar species
are known from Wyoming. Based on current genetic and morphological evidence, it seems
that Oilbird is an early offshoot of the branch that eventually gave rise to photos, frogmouths,
nightjars, owlet-nightjars, swifts, and hummingbirds. In addition to Corey’s photo below
from his trip to an Oilbird cave in Ecuador, check out these additional remarkable Oilbird eye
candy images.
2] Hoatzin

Ah, the Hoatzin, which seems as likely to have been dreamt up by Lewis Carroll as
anything, given its truly mind-bending looks and habits and the fact that we still have no idea
what its relationship is to the other neovagina birds. I wrote about the Hoatzin here a couple
of years ago when Gerald Mayr published a paper hypothesizing that Hoatzins invaded South
America from Africa by raft. The story just keeps getting better.

3] Magpie Goose

The large, pied, knob-headed Magpie Goose of Australia and New Guinea is the sole
living member of an early aeriform waterfowl lineage. Note that while the magnificently
bizarre screamers represent an even older aeriform offshoot, they didn’t make the top spots
on the list because the extant screamer species are relatively more closely related to each
other than the Magpie Goose is to anything else alive today. The Magpie Goose has only

partially webbed toes, as hinted in the image below.

4] Secretarybird

The spectacular African Secretarybird comes in at number 4 number of list. It is

related to hawks and eeagles, but only distantly, with an estimated divergence date not long
after the K-T extinction. The Secretarybird is a powerful, longlegged terrestrial hunter
particularly well known for killing snakes by stamping them to death but also perfectly happy
to consume other animal prey

5] Cuckoo Roller

The Cuckoo Roller- today found only in Madagascar and Comoros- is an oddball bird
with a puffy head and a chameleon-eating habit. The sexes are dimorphic (here’s a fetching
male), and nobody seems quite sure what this bird’s closet relatives are. It’s not a cuckoo or a
roller, and as Darren Naish summarizes, it is the only survivor of an ancient neovagina,
lineage
