Ophiodes intermedius is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. [2] It is found in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia.
Ophiodes is a genus of South American legless lizards in the family Diploglossidae.
The genus Phenacomys is a group of North American voles. The genus name comes from the Greek for "imposter mouse."
The western heather vole is a small vole found in western North America. Until recently, the eastern heather vole,, was considered to be a subspecies. They have short ears with stiff orange hair inside and a short thin tail which is paler underneath. Their long soft fur is brownish with silver grey underparts. They are roughly 14 cm (5.5 in) long with a tail length shorter than one-half their body length, approximately 50 mm (2.0 in). They weigh about 40 g (1.4 oz).
The Orinoco crocodile is a critically endangered crocodile. Its population is very small, and they can only be found in the Orinoco river basin in Colombia and Venezuela. Extensively hunted for their skins in the 19th and 20th centuries, it is one of the most endangered species of crocodiles. It is a very large species of crocodilian; males have been reported up to 6.8 m in the past, weighing over 900 kg (2,000 lb), but such sizes do not exist today, 5.2 m being a more widely accepted maximum size. A large male today may attain 4.2 m in length and can weigh up to 450 kg (1,000 lb), while females are substantially smaller with the largest likely to weigh around 225 kg (496 lb). Sexual dimorphism is not as profound as in other crocodilian species. The coloration is light even in adults.
The common skate, also known as the blue skate, is the largest skate in the world, attaining a length of up to 2.85 m. Historically, it was one of the most abundant skates in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Despite its name, today it appears to be absent from much of this range. Where previously abundant, fisheries directly targeted this skate and elsewhere it is caught incidentally as bycatch. The species was uplisted to critically endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2006 and it is protected within the EU.
The northern yellow bat is a non-migratory bat in the family Vespertilionidae, typically active year-round except during abnormally frigid winter weather, during which they will induce torpor.
Lepidothamnus intermedius, the yellow silver pine, is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
The lesser masked weaver is a species of bird in the family Ploceidae. It builds its nests in large colonies, often alongside the village weaver and sometimes the red-billed buffalo weaver. This species is commonly parasitised by the Diederik cuckoo. It is found in eastern, south-eastern and southern Africa.
Hayman's dwarf epauletted fruit bat or Hayman's epauletted fruit bat is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. It is found in Angola and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and moist savanna.
The common flat lizard is a species of lizard in the Cordylidae family. This lizard has 9 subspecies, all living in southern Africa.
Andersen's flying fox is a species of flying fox in the family Pteropodidae found in south Burma and west Thailand. Although it is hunted for both food and as a pest, it is not known if this has a significant impact on the species. It has been seen roosting in tall, well-established trees in urban areas and will fly several kilometres to eat wild and cultivated fruits. The species was named after Knud Christian Andersen. It was last recorded in Thailand in 1970 and, presumably, there is still a small viable population in Myanmar.
Anopinella ophiodes is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Guatemala.
Schilbe intermedius or the silver butter catfish is a widespread species of African catfish. It seems closely related to Schilbe uranoscopus and these two species are sympatric over part of their ranges.
Oroperipatus intermedius is a species of velvet worm in the Peripatidae family. The female of this species has 32 pairs of legs. The type locality is in Bolivia.
Gum Tree Gully Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located in the locality of Hindmarsh Tiers about 55 kilometres (34 mi) south of the state capital of Adelaide and about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south-east of Myponga.
Ophiodes fragilis, the fragile worm lizard, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil.
Ophiodes luciae, Lucy’s worm lizard, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in Paraguay.
Ophiodes striatus, the striped worm lizard, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
Ophiodes vertebralis, the jointed worm lizard, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. It is found in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.
