Camelus bactrianus, also known as the Bactrian camel, inhabits parts of central Asia and western China. The geographic range is now limited to isolated regions of the Gobi and Taklamakan Deserts of Mongolia and Xinjiang. The Bactrian camel's geographic range has been steadily decreasing for the last 30 years. The distinguishing characteristic that sets Bactrian camels apart from dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) is that they have two humps on their backs (dromedary camels have just one). Bactrian

Struthio camelus ostrich

Struthioniformes cassowaries, emus, kiwis, ostriches, and rheas; ratites

very large, like ostriches (Struthio camelus), which are the largest extant bird species. Ostriches have a wide geographical range, spanning across Australia, South America, and northern Africa. A notable member of the order is Casuarius casuarius, or southern cassowary, which is a highly aggressive, large bird found in New Guinea and Australia. This species is distinguishable by its featherless head, bright blue skin, and two bright red pendulous wattles that hang from the neck. Struthioniformes have a

glama), camels (Camelus species), turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), honeybees (Apis mellifera), and many other animals. Humans have also domesticated many species of plants for food and other uses, such as corn (Zea mays), rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), manioc (Manihot esculenta), apples (Malus domestica), and soy (Glycine max). Human interactions are often complex and negative at interpersonal levels and among social groups, cultures, and governments. Human activities often destroy or

Lama guanicoe guanaco

Vicugna vicugna) lack humps, and can be distinguished from Old World camelids (Camelus bactrianus and Camelus dromedarius) by their smaller size and slender, rather than broad, feet (Franklin, 2011). Guanacos are slightly larger than alpacas and significantly larger than vicuñas, though smaller and less heavily built than llamas (Rosemann and Morrison, 1963). Within the South American camelids, tooth characteristics can be used to distinguish guanacos and llamas (genus Lama) from vicuñas and alpacas

Capra nubiana Nubian ibex

goats (Capra hircus) and camels (Camelus dromedarius) as well as other herd animals for food and habitat. Foraging ibex in Israel have been recorded damaging orchards and other crops. Capra nubiana is listed as an endangered species with an EN C2a classification on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. EN means endangered, and C2a means that the the population estimate is less than 2,500 mature individuals, with no subpopulations greater then 250 mature individuals and an overall declining population

Rhea americana greater rhea

The males are the ones to find a location and build a nest. The better the nest location, the more success the male has at breeding. Factors that go into nest-site selection are distance to food and vegetation height and density. Males also tend to build their nests not too far from others, due to the polygamous nature of greater rheas. Greater rheas are flightless birds. They are a ratite bird, along with emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and ostriches (Struthio camelus). Their body shape is ovular with a
