Watson's climbing rat (Tylomys watsoni) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama.
The subfamily Tylomyinae consists of several species of New World rats and mice including the vesper and climbing rats. They are not as well known as their relatives in the subfamilies Sigmodontinae and Neotominae. Many authorities place all three of these subfamilies in a single subfamily, Sigmodontinae.
Waters's gerbil is distributed mainly in Sudan, Somalia, and Djibouti.
Dermanura is a genus of leaf-nosed bats.
The Indian bush rat is a rodent species in the family Muridae. It is the only extant member of the genus Golunda, and is the only extant member of the tribe Arvicanthini found outside of Africa.
The Chiapan climbing rat is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in Mexico. The species is known from only one location in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas. The habitat in the region is being converted to agricultural and urban use, which is likely causing critical declines in numbers of T. bullaris.
Tylomys is a genus of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It contains the following species:
The fulvous-bellied climbing rat is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found only in Panama.
The Mira climbing rat is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador.
Peters's climbing rat is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.
The Panamanian climbing rat is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is endemic to Panama.
The Tumbala climbing rat is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is found in Mexico, where it is known only from one locality in Tumbalá, Chiapas. The species is threatened by deforestation.
Archegosauridae is a family of relatively large and long snouted temnospondyls that lived in the Permian period. They were fully aquatic animals, and were metabolically and physiologically more similar to fish than modern amphibians. The family has been divided into two subfamilies, the longer-snouted Platyoposaurinae and the shorter-snouted Melosaurinae.
Tylomyini is a tribe of New World rats and mice in the subfamily Tylomyinae. The rats share the characteristics of all being climbing rats.
Thomas's fruit-eating bat, sometimes also popularly called Watson's fruit-eating bat, is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found from southern Mexico, through Central America to Colombia. Its South American range is to the west of the Andes. The species name is in honor of H. J. Watson, a plantation owner in western Panama who used to send specimens to the British Natural History Museum, where Oldfield Thomas would often describe them.
The eastern billabongfly is a damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is also known as the eastern dart. Eastern billabongflies are small damselflies about 25mm (1 inch) in length. They are found near slow running water or still water, such as lakes, ponds and ditches. Male and female eastern billabongflies mate in a wheel position.
Spinaeschna watsoni is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae, known as the tropical cascade darner. It is a medium to large, dark brown dragonfly with greenish-yellow markings. It is endemic to north-eastern Australia, where it inhabits streams and rivers.
Urva is a genus comprising the Asian mongooses within the mongoose family Herpestidae. Species in the genus were formerly classified in the genus Herpestes, which is now thought to comprise exclusively African mongooses; phylogenetic evidence indicates that the Asian mongooses form a monophyletic group and had an Asian common ancestor. Urva forms a clade with Xenogale and Atilax, while Herpestes forms a clade with all other African mongoose species.
Atractaspis watsoni, Watson's burrowing asp is a species of snake from the Atractaspis genus native to West and Central Africa. The species was scientifically described by George Albert Boulenger in 1908. It lives in savannas and they were found up to 800 m (2,600 ft) in elevation.
