- Cheetah
Badger Bat Bear  The Polar Bear, the world's largest land predator, prospers in the harshest environments. Males can be 3m tall and weigh 650kg (1,400lb), while females weight about 250kg (550lb). Single bears trek up to 5,000km (3,100mi) across icy seas and tundra in search of food.
Beaver American Beaver Mountain Beaver  The Bee is a remarkable animal - they do not have ears, but they have an excellent sense of smell with chemoreceptors in their antennae. Bees see colours differently than we do. They are insensitive to red but detects ultraviolet light which is invisible to us.
 Found in Tasmania, Bettongs weigh up to 2kg (4.4lb) and have a life expectancy of 3-5 years. Their diet includes seeds, roots, bulbs and insects. Bettongs breed throughout the year, with the young spending the first 3 months in the pouch.
 The Bobcat, although it does not bear the family name is a distinct species in the Lynx genus. Adult bobcats weigh about 12kg. Kittens have a weight gain of 25g per day and are weaned at about 12 weeks, becoming independent of its mother at about 10-12 months of age.
 Most abundant in Southern Africa, the Caracal is often referred to as the African Lynx or Desert Lynx, but is not related to the lynx. It grows up to 1m (3ft) in length and the male weighs up to 18 kg. It can survive for long periods without water, obtaining its requirement from the metabolic moisture of its prey such as small buck, sand rats and rock hyrax.
 The large, wild, elk-like Caribou, weighing up to 300kg (660lb), is found above the tree-line in arctic North America and Greenland. Caribou, related to the reindeer, have unique hairs which trap air providing them with excellent insulation. These hairs also help keep them buoyant in the water.
 Cats
 The Cheetah is the fastest land animal at 95 km/h (60mph). Unlike other "big cats" it does not roar - however it does purr and make high pitched yelps, barks and chirruping sounds. They are found in Africa and in some parts of Asia.
 The Crocodile, the most vocal of all reptiles, there are 23 crocodilian species. Nile crocodiles grow to 6m in length. Captive crodociles appear to have broader heads - a possible indication of their more sedentary lifestyle.
