Different animals with detail.

Cape buffaloes

buffalofound on the Indian subcontinent to Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia, in Sri Lanka and inBorneo. Water buffaloes are especially suitable for tilling rice fields, and their milk is richer infat and protein than that of the dairy cow. The large feral population of northern Australiabecame established in the late 19th century, and there are smaller feral herds in New Guinea, Tunisia and northeastern Argentina. Two groups have been described, termedSwamp and River types.^[1] There are at least 130 million domestic water buffalo, and more human beings depend on them than on any other domestic animal.

Hippopotamuses

Two hippo species are found in Africa. The large hippo, found in East Africa, occurs south of the Sahara. The other, much smaller (440 to 605 pounds) species of hippo is the pygmy hippopotamus. Limited to very restricted ranges in West Africa, it is a shy, solitary forest dweller and is now rare

Rooster

The rooster is often portrayed as crowing at the break of dawn ("cock-a-doodle-doo") and will almost always start crowing before 4 months of age. Although it is possible for a hen to crow as well, crowing (together with hackles development) is one of the clearest signs of being a rooster.^[4] He can often be seen sitting on fence posts or other objects, where he crows to proclaim his territory. However, this idea is more romantic than real, as a rooster can and will crow at any time of the day. Some roosters are especially vociferous, crowing almost constantly, while others only crow a few times a day. These differences are dependent both upon the rooster's breed and individual personality. He has several other calls as well, and can cluck, similar to the hen. Roosters will occasionally make a patterned series of clucks to attract hens to a source of food, the same way a mother hen does for her chicks.

"Cock" is in general use as the name for a male of other species of bird, for example "Cock sparrow". "Roosting" is the action of perching aloft to sleep at night, and is done by bothsexes. The rooster is polygamous, but cannot guard several nests of eggs at once. He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other roosters that enter his territory. During the daytime, he usually sits on a high perch, usually 3–5 feet off the ground to serve as a lookout for his flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.

Camel

Camels live in deserts, where it is hot and dry. Camels have adaptations that help them live in deserts. They have a thick coat of hair that protects them from the sun. They have wide, soft feet, so they can walk a long time in the hot sand.

Several adaptations help a camel save water. When there is food and water, a camel can eat and drink large amounts and store it as fat in the hump. Then, when there is no food or water, the camel uses the fat for energy, and the hump becomes small and soft. A camel’s waste contains very little water. Even the water from the camel’s breath flows back into its mouth.

Elephant

Elephants, largest of all land animals, are among the most recognizable and beloved creatures on Earth. Their ancestors once roamed most of the planet, but wild populations are now confined to decreasing swaths of land in Africa and Asia. Hunted mercilessly for their prized ivory tusks, they are under threat in most of their range from poaching, habitat loss, and human encroachment and are listed as threatened by the IUCN.

National Geographic has been promoting elephant research and conservation since 1922. You can make an impact by offering your support to the National Geographic Society. You can also contact your local government representative and your country's CITES representative to express your support of the international ban on the trade of ivory. People in the United States can get in touch with their congressional representative and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Black bear

Asian black bears are small bears, generally weighing between 200 and 400 pounds, depending on the region and time of year. Males are larger than females. They have stocky bodies covered by a dense fur coat, which is black or dark brown in color. In addition to the white patch on its chest, this bear also has white or yellowish fur along its lower lip and chin. The head is big and round, and surrounded by a thick mane. Asian black bears have large ears and short strong claws.
The Asian black bear is widely distributed across all of southern Asia. These bears dwell predominantly in hill and mountain areas, heavily forested with deciduous trees and brush, at altitudes up to 10,000 feet. In the colder parts of their range, Asian black bears will seek out dens in which to pass the winter months, after the manner of their American cousins.
These animals are omnivores, and their diet consists of whatever is readily available in their area. In regions where there are few prey animals, they will subsist on plants. A typical diet may include some or all of the following: termites, beetles, larvae, honey, fruits, buds, nuts, small mammals, birds, fish, mollusks, and carrion.

Horse

A horse hoof is a structure surrounding the distal phalanx of the 3rd digit (digit III of the basic pentadactyl limb of vertebrates, evolved into a single weight-bearing digit in equids) of each of the four limbs of Equus species, which is covered by complex soft tissue and keratinised (cornified) structures. Since a single digit must bear the full proportion of the animal's weight that is borne by that limb, the hoof is of vital importance to the horse. The phrase "no hoof, no horse" underlines how much the health and the strength of the hoof is crucial for horse soundness.
