Babirusa Basic Facts

Hello again! It's me, Anthony, back with my newest post, Babirusa Basic Facts. So without further ado, let's get on with the post!
A Babirusa is a pig/hog like animal with 99 kg (220 lb) of weight. Their scientific name is Babyrousa, it's similar to their real name, isn't it? These mammals live in the Indonesian Islands of Sulawesi, Togian, Burn, and Sulu. Babirusa's are 91-112 cm (3-3.7 ft long). They eat fruit, nuts, berries, leaves, and mushrooms, which makes them omnivores. They can be white or black in colour. These "pigs" can live up to 24 years in captivity.

Aye-Aye Recap

Hello again! It's me, Anthony, back with my next post, Aye-Aye Recap. Hope you enjoy it, so let's get on with the post!

An Aye-Aye is a small, creepy, animal with black and white shaggy fur and bright, big, yellow eyes. These mammals live in Madagascar. Their scientific name is Daubentonia Madagascariensis. Aye-Aye's weigh 2-3 kg (4.4-6.6 lb) and are 360-440 mm (14-17 in) long. They are suffering habitat loss, which could make them go extinct. These creepy little animals eat seeds, nectar, fruit, and fungi, so they are then omnivores. They have a lifespan of 20-23 years.

That's it for this week's animal! Next week we will be learning about the Babirusa. Stay tuned!

Sincerely,

Anthony

Aye-Aye Basic Facts

Hello everyone! It's me, Anthony, back with another post, Aye-Aye Basic Facts. Hope you enjoy so let's get on with it!
An Aye-Aye is "creepy" animal that is basically a lemur. It has white and black shaggy hair with big, bright, yellow eyes. It's scientific name is Daubentonia Madagascariensis. This animal is a mammal, like lemurs are. They weigh 2-3 kg (4.4-6.6 lb) and are 360-440 mm (14-17 in) long. Aye-Aye's eat seeds, fruit, nectar, and fungi, so they're omnivores. They have a lifespan of 20-23 years. One more thing I should say about Aye-Aye's is that they are losing their habitat because of other developments being built. Go check out this link about a recovery plan for the Aye-Aye's!
