Welcome to Noah's Ark

Antelopes are a diverse group of roughly 91 species of fast, herbivorous ruminants in the Bovidae family, found primarily in Africa and Asia. Known for permanent, hollow horns, slender necks, and long legs, they range from the 4-pound royal antelope to the 1,800-pound giant eland. They are highly adaptable grazers and browsers capable of running up to 60 mph (96 km/h)

Bears are large, intelligent, omnivorous mammals (except for polar bears) in the family Ursidae, found across the Northern Hemisphere and parts of South America. There are eight distinct species ranging from the small Sun Bear to the massive Polar Bear. They are solitary, possess an excellent sense of smell, and enter a state of winter torpor rather than true hibernation.

Birds are warm-blooded, egg-laying, feathered vertebrates within the class Aves, characterized by beaks, lightweight skeletons, and, in most cases, flight. With over 10,000 species worldwide, they are highly diverse in size—ranging from tiny hummingbirds to large ostriches—and possess specialized diets and habitats.

Pythons (family Pythonidae) are large, non-venomous constrictor snakes found in Africa, Asia, and Australia, known for killing prey—including mammals, birds, and reptiles—by suffocation. They are characterized by vestigial hind limbs (spurs), heat-sensing pits, and laying eggs that the female broods.

Tigers are the largest, endangered Asian big cats, reaching 6–10 feet long, weighing 220–660 pounds, and living 10–15 years in the wild. As solitary apex predators, they hunt prey like deer and boar by ambush. They live in diverse habitats from Siberian forests to Sunda jungles, mainly in Asia.

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are highly intelligent, endangered great apes native to African forests and savannas, sharing roughly 98.7% of their DNA with humans. They live in social communities (15–120+ members) led by an alpha male. They are omnivores, eating fruit, insects, and small animals, weigh 70–130 lbs, and live ~45 years in the wild.

Gorillas are the largest living primates, inhabiting central/eastern African forests, with 98% of their DNA shared with humans. These gentle, primarily herbivorous giants live in stable, social troops of 5–10+ led by a dominant silverback male. They are critically endangered due to habitat loss and poaching.

Hippos (Hippopotamus amphibius) are massive, semi-aquatic African mammals, weighing up to 3,200 kg (7,000+ lbs) and standing about 1.5 meters tall, making them the third-largest land mammal. Known for being highly territorial and dangerous, they spend days in water to protect their sensitive skin, grazing on grass at night.

Lemurs are unique, social primates found only on the island of Madagascar, with over 100 species ranging from tiny mouse lemurs to the larger indri. Known for their long tails, large eyes, and, in some cases, distinct ringed tails, these "wet-nosed" prosimians are arboreal, eat fruit and leaves, and are critically endangered.
