The typical mongoose has a long-shaped face and body, short legs and little round ears. Many mongoose individuals are found living in burrows which the mongoose tend to dig themselves. The mongoose however, will not pass up the opportunity to hide in an abandoned burrow of another small animal. The mongoose is an omnivore, meaning that mongoose eat both plants and animals. The mongoose in Africa has caught the attention of humans, as they appear to be almost immune to the poison of a snake.

Moles have long, curved claws which they use to burrow underground. Moles can quickly create long tunnels under the surface of the earth and the tunnel entrances can easily be identified by the mounds of earth that appear (normally all over your garden lawn)! These mounds of soil are commonly known as mole hills, as in the saying “Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill”. The most powerful sense a mole has is its sense of smell, and some species of mole are able to detect, catch and eat their prey in less than a second!

The macaw [o] is a colourful tropical parrot native to Central and Southern America. There are 17 different species of macaw found in the rainforests of South America. Many of the different macaw species are today considered to be endangered animals.

The manatee is a large marine mammal and it is also commonly known as the sea cow. The manatee is found in warmer waters only in the eastern hemisphere around subtropical regions. The average manatee can often weigh more than 500kg and can grow to lengths of over 4.5 meters. The manatee has been linked to mermaids in ancient folklore and the people of West Africa believed the manatees to be sacred so anyone that killed a manatee was a sinner. The people of South America would hunt manatees for their meat and then use the bones of the manatee to treat basic ailments.

There are around 260 known species of monkey worldwide ranging from chimpanzees to the tiny pygmy marmoset. It has been known for some organisations to train certain species of monkeys as monkey helpers to assist quadriplegics and other people with severe spinal cord injuries or mobility impairments. After being brought up in a human home as infants, the monkeys undergo extensive training before being placed with a quadriplegic. Around the house, the monkeys help out by doing tasks including microwaving food and opening drink bottles!
