                                          It is known for its two humps and is found in China
                                             and Mongolia. It stores water in its humps and
                                              can go long periods of time without drinking
                                              water. It lives in small herds of around 100

                                              considered the world's most endangered
                                               species. This cat marks its territory with

                    JAVAN RHINOCEROS         are called scrapes to let others know to keep
                                                         off from its territory.

                                           It is the most endangered and also the smallest
                                                species of turtles that is characterised by
                                               a narrow, pointed beak and a beautiful
                                                patterned shell. It feeds on coral reef
                                                sponges which are otherwise toxic to
                                               other animals because of their spicules
                                                         (glass-like spines).
