heblue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal ofthe suborder ofbaleen whales(called Mysticeti). They grow

to be about 30 meters long. The biggest blue whale found was

180 tons and measured 98 feet long. Larger specimens have

been measured at 115 feet, but never weighed. This makes blue

whales the largestanimalsever to be onEarth, even bigger

than the largestdinosaurs.

The blue whale eats mostly very tiny creatures, likekrill.

These inch-long,shrimp-likecrustaceanswim in swarms. In

theAntarcticsummer, there are so many of these krill that

they turn the watersorange. A blue whale can eat eight to

tentonsof krill every day.[2]

The blue whale's body is long and slender. It can be various

shades of bluish-grey above and somewhat lighterunderneath.[3]There are at least three distinctsubspecies:B.

m. musculusof the North Atlantic and North Pacific, B. m.

intermediaof theSouthern Oceanand B. m. brevicauda(also

known as thepygmy blue whale) found in theIndian

OceanandSouth Pacific Ocean.

The giant panda is a type of bear. Its closest "bear relative"

is theSpectacled BearofSouth America.[7]There is another

type of creature that shares the giant panda's habitat and

has many similar traits. This is thered panda, which scientists

thought must be related. But a giant panda is a bear, and a

red panda is more closely related to araccoonor askunk.

The red and giant pandas have many things in common.[8]Both

have a similardiet, eating mostlybamboo.[8]They also have

the same kind of enlargedbone, called a pseudothumb. This

allows them to better grip the bamboo they eat. Red and

giant pandas also live in the samehabitat.[9][10]Some people

have called the giant panda aliving fossil.[11]Most other

species closely related to the giant panda do not existanymore. There is now only one species under the genus of

Ailuropoda.

Currently there are twosubspeciesof Giant panda:

and eat medium-sized prey likeIbex, bharal (mountainsheep)

and wildgoats. It can survive on a single sheep for two weeks.Snow leopards prefer toambushprey from above, using

broken terrain to conceal their approach. They try and land

on the sheep, and kill it directly. If the sheep runs, they

their initial leap to chase prey for up to 300 m (980 ft).

The name "cheetah" may come from a Hindi word meaning

"spotted one" or from the Sanskrit word "chitraka". An adult

has yellow or tan fur with solid black round or oval spots

measuring .75 to 1.5 inches (1.9 to 3.8 centimeters) in diameter.

The spots cover nearly the whole body. Only the white throat

and abdomen are not spotted. The tail ends with 46 black

rings and a bushy, white tuft. The head is small with eyes set

high and a black "tear mark" running from the inner aspect of

each eye down to the mouth. The teeth are small. An adultcheetah weighs 80140 pounds (3664 kilograms), is about 32

inches (81 centimeters) tall at the shoulder and 4856 inches

(121142 centimeters) long with another 2832 inches (7081

centimeters) in tail. Cheetahs are sometimes mistaken for

leopards. However, the difference is that leopards are much
