They are large semi-aquatic mammals. They have a large barrel-shaped body with a short tail and legs. Note that their heads are huge. Their bodies are gray or mottled brown in color. Although later their skin color becomes pale and discolored.
In addition to our country, they are more common in Africa. Unable to tolerate the heat of Africa, they live near rivers and lakes. As the eyes, ears and nose are located on the top of the head, they can easily submerge themselves in the river water.
They were once found in sub-Saharan Africa. But with the evolution of time, as human traffic increased, they started to be hunted by hunters and people started living in their areas.
They are nocturnal animals. That is why they go out in search of food at night and collect food. They feed on herbivores at night. They can eat up to 35 kg of food together if they get a favorite herbivore.
Despite being such a large animal, they are very good swimmers and can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes. When they dive under water, they automatically close their nose and ears. So that water can not enter the nose and ears.
এত বড় প্রানী হওয়া সত্ত্বেও এরা খুব দক্ষ সাঁতারু এবং পানির নিচে এরা পাঁচ মিনিট পর্যন্ত নিঃশ্বাস ধরে রাখতে পারে। পানির নিচে ডুব দিলে এরা এদের নাক এবং কান অটোমেটিক বন্ধ করে হয়ে যায়। যা তে করে পানি নাক এবং কানে না ঢুকতে পারে।
They like to move in groups. Their group members range from 10 to 20 people. The male hippo leads the group. The remaining members of the group are female.
এরা গ্রুপে চলাচল করা পছন্দ করে। এদের গ্রুপের সদস্য সংখ্যা ১০ থেকে ২০ জন পর্যন্ত হয়ে থাকে। পুরুষ জলহস্তী গ্রুপের নেতৃত্ব দেয়। গ্রুপের বাকি সদস্যা স্ত্রী জাতের হয়।
Dominant male species of hippopotamus are protective of their own group. There are many groups under dominant men. They often put on displays of power over each other. The mouth performs a wide range of activities including yawning and yawning.
Female hippos are called cows. They give birth to babies every 2 years. They usually give birth to one young at a time. Then they enter their group under the leadership of a strong man. They do this to escape from more ferocious animals including lions, hyenas, crocodiles.
স্ত্রী প্রজাতির জলহস্তীদের গাভী বলা হয়। এরা ২ বছর পর পর বাচ্চা জন্ম দিয়ে থাকে। এরা সাধারনত একবারে একটি বাচ্চা জন্ম দিয়ে থাকে। এরপর এরা কোন শক্তিশালী পুরুষের নেতৃত্বে তাদের গ্রুপে ঢুকে পড়ে। সিংহ, হায়েনা, কুমির সহ আরও হিংস্র প্রানীর হাত থেকে রক্ষা পাওয়ার জন্য এরা এমন করে থাকে।
They live up to 40 years in their lifespan. However, in some cases they can live up to 50 years in captivity. They don't want to lose their power easily. But they either live or die in the fight with the opponent. They do not like to live a life of dishonor even if they accept defeat in any case.
এরা এদের জীবনদ্দশায় ৪০ বছর পর্যন্ত বেঁচে থাকে। তবে কোন কোন ক্ষেত্রে বন্দী অবস্থায় এরা ৫০ বছর পর্যন্ত বাঁচতে পারে। এরা তাদের ক্ষমতা সহজে হারাতে চায় না। কিন্তু প্রতিপক্ষের সাথে লড়াই এ এরা হয় বেঁচে থাকে অথবা মারা যায়। কোন ক্ষেত্রে তারা পরাজয় স্বীকার করে নিলেও অসম্মনের জীবন এরা অতিবাহিত করতে পাছন্দ করে না।
The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) (/ˌhɪpəˈpɒtəməs/; pl.: hippopotamuses; also shortened to hippo (pl.: hippos), further qualified as the common hippopotamus, Nile hippopotamus, or river hippopotamus, is a large semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). Its name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (ἱπποπόταμος).
They are large semi-aquatic mammals. They have a large barrel-shaped body with a short tail and legs. Note that their heads are huge. Their bodies are gray or mottled brown in color. Although later their skin color becomes pale and discolored.

A giant dobsonfly is held up by a staffer at the Insect Museum of West China in Sichuan.
Insect Museum of West China
— -- The largest recorded aquatic insect in the world was found in China.
Measuring at eight inches in wingspan and with a giant set of mandibles at its head, the flying dobsonfly is roughly the size of an adult human face, according to the Insect Museum of West China.
Some other large insect facts: dobsonflies do not typically grow to be larger than five inches in width, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. The mandibles in male dobsonflies can make up for half of their size.
Male dobsonflies are harmless but the females have a pair of pincers that can cause painful bites to humans. Neither the males or females are venomous.
Adult dobsonflies typically live up to one week.

They are commonly found in the western hemisphere, Asia, and South Africa.
A recent study using satellite data has highlighted the critical role that large herbivores play in promoting tree diversity in forest ecosystems. The research showed that areas with abundant large herbivores like elephants had more varied tree cover and more tree diversity. This finding underscores the importance of large herbivores in many ecosystems and that they should have primary importance in conservation strategies, particularly in the context of global efforts to combat climate change and extinction.

The Large-billed Crow, formerly called the Jungle Crow, is characterized chiefly by its substantial bill, with the upper part thick and arched. It showcases dark gray and glossy black plumage with a robust body measuring up to 23 inches long.
Geographically, this species is widely distributed across Asia and adaptable to forests and human-dominated landscapes.
Gorillas are the largest primates on Earth. Adult female gorillas tip the scales at 70-90 kg, whereas their male counterparts, standing tall at a whopping six feet, can weigh anywhere from 300 to 450 pounds. That's roughly equivalent to 135 to 200 kilograms!
The largest being the eastern gorillas, specifically the silverback males from the eastern lowland gorillas. These creatures can clock in at 400 pounds, equivalent to 180 kilograms, and stand tall at approximately 5.6 feet or 1.7 meters. These impressive creatures live in the forests of Central Africa.
Scientific name: Agarista agricola.
Large Agarista, otherwise known as Joseph's Coat Moth, is another of the world's most beautiful and brightly colored moths. It has black wings with streaks and blotches and yellow, white, blue, and red bands. It has a hind wing fringed with white, and the thorax - the segment between the head and abdomen is yellow.
Its wingspan is between 2.5 inches and 2.75 inches, with a metallic glimmer in its blue wing. It also has a cape of cream or white color and feeds on species of wild grapevines.
Moose are the largest and heaviest extant species in the deer family. From the towering Alaskan moose of the North American wilderness to the more modestly-sized European moose, the eight moose sub-species illustrate these intriguing creatures' adaptability and ecological variety. They belong to the Cervidae family, including other members such as elk, caribou, and white-tailed deer.
With adult males weighing between 900 and 1,400 pounds, moose tower above their deer relatives. On the other hand, female moose weigh an average of 800 to 1,300 pounds. These majestic animals can also stand up to 6.5 feet tall at the shoulder.
Moose are not only known for their size but also their distinctive physical characteristics. They have elongated faces and an overhanging muzzle that extends beyond their upper lip. Furthermore, moose have relatively large and mobile ears that can rotate independently.
Adult male and female moose have a flap of skin, known as a bell or dewlap, hanging beneath their chin. The size of the bell increases with age and is more pronounced in dominant males. It serves as an additional visual display during the fall mating season and helps intimidate rival males.
Goliath frog, (Conraua goliath), West African frog inhabiting dense lowland rainforests and a few fast-moving rivers and waterfalls in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. Classified in the family Conrauidae, it is best known as the world’s largest frog species. Males and females grow as long as 32 cm (12.6 inches), and the largest adults (which are often females) weigh 3 kg (6.6 pounds) or more. The goliath frog is an endangered species whose population has declined because of hunting and capture as well as its specific habitat and food requirements and narrow tolerance limits, which make it vulnerable to habitat loss and degradation.
The goliath frog’s geographic range extends from southwestern Cameroon south across the northern half of Río Muni (Continental Equatorial Guinea). It inhabits clear, warm rivers whose temperature hovers near 19.4 °C (67 °F) and nearby riverbanks and humid, undisturbed old-growth or secondary-growth forests (see also secondary succession). The species prefers waters that are highly oxygenated but slightly acidic.
