Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids, or bush crickets. They have previously been known as long-horned grasshoppers. More than 6,400 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.
Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 6,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group is paraphyletic as it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia; some lizards are more closely related to these two excluded groups than they are to other lizards. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3 meter long Komodo dragon.
Pinnipeds, commonly known as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic marine mammals. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae, Otariidae, and Phocidae. There are 33 extant species of pinnipeds, and more than 50 extinct species have been described from fossils. While seals were historically thought to have descended from two ancestral lines, molecular evidence supports them as a monophyletic lineage. Pinnipeds belong to the order Carnivora and their closest living relatives are bears and musteloids, having diverged about 50 million years ago.
Grouse are a group of birds from the order Galliformes, in the family Phasianidae. Grouse are frequently assigned to the subfamily Tetraoninae, a classification supported by mitochondrial DNA sequence studies, and applied by the American Ornithologists' Union, ITIS, and others. Grouse inhabit temperate and subarctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, from pine forests to moorland and mountainside, from 83°N to 28°N.
Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics beyond the differences in their sexual organs. The condition occurs in many animals and some plants. Differences may include secondary sex characteristics, size, weight, color, markings, and may also include behavioral and cognitive differences. These differences may be subtle or exaggerated, and may be subjected to sexual selection. The opposite of dimorphism is monomorphism.
The myna is a bird of the starling family (Sturnidae). This is a group of passerine birds which are native to southern Asia, especially India and Bangladesh. Several species have been introduced to areas like North America, Australia, South Africa, Fiji and New Zealand, especially the common myna which is often regarded as an invasive species. It is often known as "Selarang" and "Teck Meng" in Malay and Chinese respectively in Singapore, due to their high population there.
The fallow deer is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. This common species is native to Europe, but has been introduced to Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, South Africa, Fernando Pó, São Tomé, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Réunion, Seychelles, Comoro Islands, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Cyprus, Israel, Cape Verde, Lebanon, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, the Falkland Islands, and Peru. Some taxonomers include the rarer Persian fallow deer as a subspecies, while others treat it as an entirely different species.
The Enggano scops owl is an owl endemic to Enggano Island, Indonesia.
Tarantulas comprise a group of large and often hairy arachnids belonging to the Theraphosidae family of spiders, of which about 900 species have been identified. This article only describes members of the Theraphosidae, although some other members of the same infraorder (Mygalomorphae) are commonly referred to as "tarantulas". Some species have become popular in the exotic pet trade. New World species kept as pets have urticating hairs that can cause irritation to the skin and, in extreme cases, cause damage to eyes.
Female (♀) is the sex of an organism, or a part of an organism, that produces non-mobile ova. Barring rare medical conditions, most female mammals, including female humans, have two X chromosomes. Female characteristics vary between different species with some species containing more well defined female characteristics. Both genetics and environment shape the prenatal development of a female.
Xenocerus deletus is a species of beetles from the family Anthribidae, also known as fungus weevils.
Xenocerus is a genus of beetles from the family Anthribidae, also known as fungus weevils.
Xenocerus lacrymans is a species of beetles from the family Anthribidae, also known as fungus weevils.
Copelatus enganensis is a species of diving beetle. It is part of the genus Copelatus of the subfamily Copelatinae and the family Dytiscidae. It was described by Félix Guignot in 1940.
Mimanhammus enganensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Mimanhammus. It was described by Breuning in 1971.
Mimonephelotes enganensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Mimonephelotes. It was described by Breuning in 1970. Breuning mistakenly thought the name was a junior homonym of the genus Mimonephelotus and proposed a replacement name, Mimanhammus in 1971, but under the ICZN the two names are not homonyms, so the original genus name is valid.
Mimopsacothea enganensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Mimopsacothea. It was described by Breuning in 1973.
Batocera enganensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Gahan in 1907. It is known from Sumatra.
Notomulciber enganensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1939.
Glenea enganensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1982. It is found on Enggano Island.
