Awe Inspiring Wild Wonders

I have the longest nose of all. I use it to put food in my mouth, snuggle my baby, and trumpet a warning to my herd. Do you know who I am?

I have the longest neck of all. I use it to reach the best leaves on tall trees and large brown spots cover my tan body and neck, which can be up to 8 feet tall. Do you know who I am?

I am the fastest animal on land. I zoom to catch my dinner. I have black spots and am related to your pet cat. Do you know who I am?

I am the slowest…moving…animal. I have long furry arms and legs with hooked claws for living in trees. I live most of my life hanging in the treetops and even my name means sluggish or lazy. Do you know who I am?

I am the heaviest animal. I live in warm oceans and eat tons of tiny food called plankton and krill. I have the color blue in my name. Do you know who I am?

I am the perfect desert animal. I can carry people or packs and I can drink gallons of water at a time. I have long legs and a hump. Do you know who I am?

I am an animal who lives in a pack. I am a fierce hunter and I howl to communicate with my pack. I have thick fur and am related to your pet dog. Do you know who I am?

I am the biggest bird. I have very long legs and a long neck, but I can not fly. I have black feathers on my body, but my legs, neck and head are bare. Do you know who I am?
