Identification of Animals

 1. American Robins are gray-brown birds with warm orange underparts and dark heads. In flight, a white patch on the lower belly and under the tail can be conspicuous. Compared with males, females have paler heads that contrast less with the gray back. 2. Adults are dark gray above, with their head, wings, and tail almost black, their outer tail feathers tipped with white, and their breast light brown to rich dark brick red (darker and brighter in males). 3. The robin is a small, plump bird. Its black beak is short and thin. Males and females look identical, sporting a brown back, white belly and red breast, face and cheeks. In contrast, juveniles are speckled gold and brown, only developing the distinctive red plumage in adulthood. 4. The Robin sings all year round to protect their territory and attract a mate. They are adapted to live in poor light and are one of the earliest birds to start the morning chorus and one of the last to finish at night. Their alarm...

 1. According to the ADBA, the American Pit Bull is described to be medium-sized and has a short coat and smooth well-defined muscle structure, and its eyes are to be round to almond-shaped, and its ears are to be small to medium in length, typically half prick or rose in carriage. 2. Some people assume otherwise based on the breed’s fighting background. But in reality, APBTs had to be gentle and friendly with humans because of their fighting background. They had human handlers, after all. So, it was paramount that these dogs didn’t harm people—not even when in the middle of a fight with another dog. 3. Pit Bulls can be prone to anxiety, especially if they don’t receive the socialization, exercise, and mental stimulation they crave. Because this breed is so focused on their favorite people, time spent alone can lead to separation anxiety. They aren’t a breed that does well when left by themselves all day. 4. The American Pit Bull Terrier is one of the most recognizab...

 1. The American Hairless Terrier stands between 12 to 16 inches at the shoulder, and comes in both coated and hairless varieties. The hairless variety might have eyebrows and whiskers, while the coated has a short, shiny coat. The skin of the hairless is smooth and warm to the touch. 2. Hairlessness American Hairless Terrier type is an inherited trait specific for this breed and caused by a breed specific mutation. Generally, worldwide recognized hairless dog breeds are the Chinese crested dog, the Mexican hairless dog and the Peruvian hairless dog. Mexican hairless dog is also known as the Xoloitzcuintli, and it was considered sacred by the Aztecs. In these breeds the hairless phenotype is classified as canine ectodermal dysplasia (CED) and is caused by the same mutation. Unlike in other hairless dog breeds, hairlessness in American Hairless Terrier is a recessive mutation and is not lethal when animal is homozygote for the mutation. Also, AHT are generally healthy dogs...

 1. The body is extremely elongated (snakelike), with a very long dorsal fin that is confluent with the anal fin. Pelvic fins are absent and tiny scales are embedded in the skin giving eels a smooth feel. The adult color is a yellow-brown with pale underbelly. It is a distinct species with no known subspecies. 2. What it looks like. The American Eel is a type of fish with a long, snake-like body and fins that extend along its back, around the tail and along its underside. It has thick lips with a lower jaw that is slightly longer than its upper jaw, making it look like it has an underbite.

1.  Adult American cockroaches are reddish-brown to dark brown (except for a tan or light yellow band around the shield behind the head), about 1-1/2 to 2-inches long, and have wings capable of flight. Males and females are about the same size. 2.  American cockroaches are anatomically similar to most other cockroach species. Their heads are comprised of the mouth, salivary glands, eyes and antennae. Their bodies are flat and ovoid in shape. They are protected by an exoskeleton that is oily in appearance. 3. The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) is the largest species of common cockroach, and often considered a pest. In certain regions of the U.S. it is colloquially known as the waterbug, though it is not a true waterbug since it is not aquatic. It is also known as the ship cockroach, kakerlac, and Bombay canary. 4. The American cockroach is the largest of the house-infesting roaches and a major pest in the United States. It’s also commonly known as the wate...

 1. The American Bulldog is a powerful, athletic short-coated dog, strongly muscled, and well boned. The body is just slightly longer than tall. The head is large and broad, with a wide muzzle. Ears are small to medium in size, high set, and may be drop, semi-prick, rose, or cropped. 2. American Bulldogs are a well-balanced athletic dog that demonstrate great strength, endurance, agility, and a friendly attitude. Historically, they were bred to be a utility dog used for working the farm. The American Bulldog is a descendant of the English Bulldog. 3. There are now two American Bulldog types named after the breeders: the Johnson, also known as the classic or bully type, and the Scott, which is sometimes called the standard or performance type. In 1970, the National Kennel Club officially recognized and registered the American Bulldog breed. 4. They have a prominent forehead, and their dainty upside-down, V-shaped ears drape on either side of their cap. They have soft,...

1. The coat is of a grizzled, light brown to black colour, and is smooth and short in summer, while growing longer and thicker in winter. The fur of the lower legs is black and white. Markhor are sexually dimorphic, with males having longer hair on the chin, throat, chest and shanks. 2. The markhor stands about 95–102 cm (37–40 inches) at the shoulder and has long (up to 160 cm [63 inches]) corkscrew-shaped horns.
