1. Babirusa
Babirusa face parte din familia Suidae (din care fac parte şi porcii) şi poate fi găsit în pădurile din Indonezia, mai exact în insulele Sulawesi, Togian, Sula şi Buru. Numit şi porcul cerb, Babirusa este cunoscut mai ales pentru colţii săi spectaculoşi. La masculi, caninii superiori cresc în sus pătrunzând prin piele şi curbându-se înapoi către frunte. Şi caninii inferiori sunt destul de dezvoltaţi şi cresc în sus. În schimb, în rândul femelelor caninii fie lipsesc, fie au dimensiuni reduse.În cazul în care masculii nu îşi rup colţii, lucru care se poate realiza în timpul activităţilor cotidiene, aceştia vor continua să crească până când le vor face răni sau le vor penetra craniul.
Din cauză că babirusa nu are os rostral, el nu poate săpa cu râtul în pământ ci doar noroi. Pentru că babirusa este un omnivor, dieta sa include frunze, nuci, fructe, rădăcini şi resturi animale.
În general, masculii sunt solitari, spre deosebire de femele care, împreună cu puii lor, pot forma grupuri de peste 80 de indivizi.
În Indonezia, înfăţişarea lui babirusa a inspirat folclorul şi confecţionarea unor măşti demonice care le seamănă. Deşi porcul cerb este protejat prin lege, braconajul continuă să îi ameninţe existenţa.
2. Tatuul Argentine

It is believed that tattooed dwarf Argentine is endangered, but scientists know so little about him that no one knows for sure what state is population.

Over 50% of its diet consists of lemurs, primates endemic lizards, rodents or birds.
Fossa is one of those animals that are active both day and night and not return to rest twice in the same place, except mother with cubs.
Although the species is considered solitary, a publication of the 2009 report an unusual event: a group of three males cooperated to hunt a lemur and after divided capture prey.
Fossele communicate using scent and sound or visual signals. They spin and produce cries when they feel threatened, and during mating (which usually takes place in trees) meow females and males emit a sound when they are specific partner.
Also, using the glands in the back, they mark their territory, stones and trees nearby. In addition, it was found that these animals communicate through body language and face, but scientists still conduct research in this area in order to unravel the mysteries behind this type of communication.

It lives in arid areas of southern and central Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and north-eastern Tanzania.
Special is how Litocranius Waller procure food. More specifically, in order to reach the leaf (usually the acacia), it is raised on rear legs taking upright position.
On the other hand this gazelle seems to have no need of water being enough that it receives from the plants they eat. Following this, amazing animal can survive in very dry environments. Gazelle-giraffe
5. Naked mole-rat

These mammals live in large colonies, such as insects. Like the ants, several dozens of naked mole-rats live together in colonies and "worship" a queen, a dominant animal. As already suspected, but the Queen is carrying chickens, the rest of the members are workers digging vision with prominent teeth, ensuring food requirements (roots). Also, unlike the rest of the members of the colony, which weighed about 30-35 g, queen is larger and weighs more than 50 grams. In contrast, other types of mole-rats live in small groups, like families.
Another interesting feature of these small mammals longevity. According to scientists, a naked mole-rat has an extremely long life, sometimes surviving for 28 years. Moreover, it appears that these living organisms are never affected by cancer.

According to reports published by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), the species is endangered. Now, it is speculated that in the wild there are only 2,500 mature individuals, but the population decreases from generation to generation by 20%.
Living in small groups of about 3 members, they are more active early morning or late evening. In general, males are solitary except for mating periods. Their appearance is downright impressive and stunning them with spiral horns and Longhair in the chin, chest and tail.
However, Markham is the national animal of Pakistan and folklore claims that he could kill and eat a snake, although it is a herbivore (which sometimes go up in trees in order to eat more leaves). Therefore, when he chewed and regurgitated food, removes his mouth as a foam substance that reaches the earth and dried. Locals looking for this foam reinforced the view that it can extract snake venom in wounds.
7. Monkeys of the genus Rhinopithecus
These monkeys are native to Asia, and the new species of monkey in this genre is Rhinopithecus Stryker, which in the local dialect is called "mey nwoah" meaning "monkey face up to the sky". When it rains, residents easily identified because they are monkeys head between your knees to not get drops of rain in the nose. If not dodge the rain it gets in your nose and makes them sneeze.Monkeys living in the genus Rhinopithecus large groups of up to 600 members and take their life in trees. As for communication, they use specific sound signals they produce either individually or in chorus.
8. Wolf ridge

As predators, they hunt mostly at night or early morning, while they spend days and dozing in the thickets. Unlike other wolves live in packs, wolves are solitary ridge. Even if the male and female share the same territory, they are independent of each other, the only exception occurring in the mating season.
Although much of his diet consists of fruit (or fruit of his favorites being lobeira wolf, a relative of the tomato), wolf ridge and the birds will thank them when they come your way.

The animal is extremely shy and prefer to live in forests where they can hide easily. He is also solitary rare occasions when the observed pairs coexist. Despite its beauty, it has not been studied enough and not much is known about its behavior.

13. Mara de Patagonia
As the Great Mara or rabbit / pig of Patagonia, the sower rabbit rodent lives in Argenitinei center. These herbivores live in monogamous doarte large groups of up to 70 members, so presperând away from predators.
