Hey guys it's Kerry I'm showing you my collection of tigers leopards Asian
elephants Indian rhinos and hippos and I've also included my favorite
Asiatic bear Asian elephant they have a very large
and highly developed neocortex a trait also shared by humans apes and certain
dolphin species they have a greater volume of cerebral
cortex available for cognitive processing than all other existing land
animals
Musth has a period when testosterone levels are 100 times greater than non
musth periods and they become aggressive
Secretions containing ceramides occur during this period from the paired
temporal glands located on the head between the lateral edge of the eye and
the base of the ear
this female is required to cooperate for breeding so they will only allow the
strongest and most fit males to mate with them
in China Asian elephants are under first level protection
Yunnan Province has 11 National and Regional nature reserves
Thailand and India also have protected areas for elephants
Asian elephants are extremely sociable forming groups of six to seven related
females that are led by the oldest female the matriarch
they occasionally join others to form larger herds although these associations
are relatively short-lived in Asia humans have had close
associations with elephants over many centuries
and elephants have become important cultural icons
according to Hindu mythology the gods and the demons churned the oceans in
search for the elixir of life so that they would become immortal as they did
so nine jewels surfaced one of which was the elephant
in Hinduism the powerful deity honored before all sacred rituals is the
elephant-headed Lord Ganesha he was called the remover of obstacles
tiger they are able to cope with a broad range
of climatic variation from warm moist areas to areas of extreme snowfall where
temperatures may fall to below minus 40 Celsius
in general tigers require only some vegetation for cover a source of water
and sufficient prey Tigers are powerful animals one is known
to have dragged a gaur bull weighing 700 kilograms
they have short thick necks broad shoulders and massive fore limbs ideal
for grappling with prey while holding on with long retractable claws and broad
fore paws
Their tongue is covered with hard papillae to scrape flesh off the bones of prey
Bengal tigers have the longest canines on any living large cat up to 10
centimeters in length the tiger skull is robust short and
broad with wide zygomatic arches the nasal bones are high projecting
little further than the maxillary where the canines fit
tigers have a well-developed sagittal crest and coronoid processes providing
muscle attachment for their extra strong bite
Tigers are most active at night when their wild ungulate prey are most
active tigers prefer to hunt in dense
vegetation and along routes where they can move quietly
in snow tiger select routes on frozen river beds
or in paths made by ungulates or anywhere else that has a reduced snow
depth
they have a tremendous leaping ability being able to leave up to 10 meters
communication among tigers is maintained by scent markings visual signals and
vocalisation
their vocal communications can be roars growls snarls grunts moans mews and
hisses each sound has its own purpose and appears to reflect the tiger's
intent or mood Please Subscribe and turn on

Hippopotamus they can weigh up to 3 200 kilograms and measure up to 5 meters in
length they lack scent and sweat glands instead
mucus glands secrete a thick oily layer of red pigmented fluid
this fluid is a combination of hipposudoric acid and norhipposudoric acid
these compounds create a sunscreen by absorbing ultraviolet rays from the
sun and prevent the growth of disease causing bacteria
The secretion originates colorless and turns an orange red within minutes of being
exposed to the sun
on land they are able to move at speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour and can
maintain these speeds for several hundred meters
in shallow waters their short legs provide powerful propulsion through the
water while their webbed feet allow them to navigate on shallow river bottoms
their enormous canines can grow to 50 centimeters and incisors can grow to 40
centimeters sharpening themselves as they grind
their mouths together during grazing
Sumatran rhino it is a mostly solitary animal except for courtship and
offspring rearing males and females spray urine to
advertise reproductive receptivity when the female is ready she lifts and
cocks her tail at an angle once the male sniffs the females rear
end and knows she is ready he starts following her around with stiff and
dragging legs they will both playfully nudge heads and
joust with their horns the male mounts the female and copulation can last for half
an hour or more both males and females are polygamous
the male will defend a receptive female by charging at a potential competitor
the males have backward facing genitalia like the hippo and lack a scrotum the
testes are abdominal the backward curved penis allows for
rear directed scent marking the females have two teets
Leopard there are nine subspecies they are found in Africa I will put a
list in the description below of the subspecies names and where they're found
leopards have short legs relative to their long body they have a broad head
and their massive skull allows for powerful jaw muscles
the leopards scapula has specialized attachment sites for climbing muscles
they have small round ears long whiskers extending from dark spots on the upper
lip and long whiskers in their eyebrows that protect their eyes while moving
through dense vegetation the coat color depends on their
geographical range Their coat color ranges from tawny or
light yellow in warm dry habitats to reddish orange in dense forests
subspecies are distinguished according to unique pelage characteristics
their body is covered with black rosettes which are circular in East Africa
and square in South Africa they have solid black spots on their
chest feet and face and rings on their tail
males can weigh up to 65 kilograms and 2.3 meters in body length females are
smaller leopards are promiscuous
with reproduction both males and females have multiple mates
females attract potential mates by excreting pheromones in their urine
females initiate mating by walking back and forth in front of a male and
brushing up against him or swatting him with her tail
