Rad Animals



Cecropia Moth

This is my favorite moth! They're the largest moths native to North America; their wingspan is 5-7 inches or 13-18 cm. Like many species of moths, their adult form doesn't have a mouth and they don't eat for the 2 weeks they are alive as adults. The caterpillars look super rad; I have some photos of one in the bug zone.


Patagonian Mara


Giant Isopod


Pink Fairy Armadillo

This guy is the smallest species of armadillo! They live in Argentina, in underground burrows in deserts and scriblands. As far as I can tell, little is known about its lifespan, behavior, or reproduction.


Fossa


Tree Kangaroo

I fell in love with these guys when I won a scratch-off ticket for a binder full of the Wildlife Fact-Files and found them among the animals.
