Leatherback Turtle Video
The leatherback turtle is the largest marine turtle and one of the largest living reptiles. Leatherbacks are one of the most migratory of all marine turtle species, making both trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific crossings. They are easily distinguished by their carapace, which is leathery, not hard as in other turtles, and by their long front flippers.
Hippopotamus Video
Hippopotamuses, also called hippos, are gregarious, living in groups of up to 40 animals. Hippos average 3.5 metres (11 ft) long, 1.5 metres (5 ft) tall at the shoulder, and weigh from 1,500 kg to 3,200 kg (3,300 to 7,000 lb). They are approximately the same size as the White Rhinoceros, and experts are split on which is the next largest land animal after the elephant. Male hippos appear to continue growing throughout their lives, whereas the females reach a maximum weight at around the age of 25.
Gorillas Video
Gorillas are found in lowland tropical rainforests, but some subspecies are found in montane rainforest (between 1,500 and 3,500 meters) and in bamboo forest (between 2,500 to 3,000 meters).
Chimpanzees Video
Chimpanzees, the closest living relative to humans, share an estimated 98% of our genes. Four subspecies of chimpanzees are identified, based on differences of appearance and distribution: the western chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus), central chimpanzee (P. t. troglodytes), eastern chimpanzee (P. t. schweinfurthii) and the Nigeria chimpanzee (P. t. vellerosus).
African Elephant Video
African elephants are the world's largest terrestrial mammals. Two subspecies are recognized: The savanna (or bush) elephant, Loxodonta africana africana, and the forest elephant, Loxodonta africana cyclotis. The forest African elephant is smaller and darker than its savanna relative.
