Polar Bears
Polar Bears are the largest carnivores in the world, a title once held by T-Rex and, uniquely for a bear, classified as ‘marine mammals' as they swim long distances. They are called ‘Polar’ because they only live at the Arctic North Pole. With their blue tongues, black skin and white fur, they grow to over 800kgs and 12 feet long! But being the biggest predator on the planet is no guarantee of survival. Global Warming is melting their home, the Arctic, at a rate of 13% every 10 years so they’ll have nowhere to live by 2100. Food is becoming scarce with only 2% of hunts being successful. There are just 26,000 Polar Bears left, let’s hope they don’t go the way of their forebears, T-Rex!
White Rhinos
There are 5 species of Rhino with populations - The Sumatran (30), The Javan (18), The Greater One-horned Rhino in India (2,100), The African Black (3,142) and The White Rhino which has 2 populations in Africa - The Northern Population (2) and the Southern population (10,078). Weighing over 3 tonnes, White Rhinos are the 2nd largest land animal after elephants and are named after the Africaan’s word ‘wyd’, which means wide, because of their square shaped lips. Their principal threat is being hunted for their horns which are prized for medicinal purposes. Their horns grow up to 7 cms (3 inches) a year and are made of Keratin, like our hair and nails. Their horns, their principal source of protection in Nature, has become their Achilles Heel where humans are concerned.
The Arabian Oryx
The Arabian Oryx is a real-life unicorn with two horns instead of one, and is now a success story! This striking Middle Eastern Antelope lives just 15 years and is built to resist the extreme heat of the Arabian deserts. Its white coat reflects the sun, and its two wide, cloven hooves help it to walk across rocky desert terrain. With multiple stomachs, it digests tough grasses and roots, squeezing every drop of nutrition it can from its sparse diet. Oryx can detect rain from over 100kms away, using their sharp sense of smell, Sadly, these highly evolved unicorns were hunted to extinction in the wild—saved by captive breeding in zoos. Today, over 850 Oryx roam free, in the Middle East. Now protected, the Arabian Oryx is an example of acting before it's too late, to preserve a species.
