Can you guess these animal names? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in the Frensley-Graham Hall of African Wildlife. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. They call me “King of the Jungle.” I’m a big cat who enjoys long naps, and I love to be surrounded by my family with pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. My huge ears help cool me down, and my tusks help protect me from predators. If you need an extra hand, my nose is ready for action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>I’m part of the ape family, the largest, as a matter of fact. Knuckling around with great strength, my long arms and handy feet make living in trees a simple breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\u00a0I might look like a horse, but you’ll know me by my stripes. My black and white coloring, believe it or not, keeps me hidden and harder to spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. I’m covered in scales from head to tail, and I shed my skin several times a year. I smell with my tongue as I search for prey. Poisonous or venomous, either way, retreat if we meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. I am large, round, and grey and spend most of my time underwater. I eat mostly grass, but my jaws are quite powerful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The fur on my face resembles a mask; I’m a tiny bandit waiting for the night. You might find me hiding in your trashcans, hunting for yummy leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. I sleep during the day and come out at night. You may hear me call with a hoot, but it sounds like a WHO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. I resemble a roly-poly bug covered in a bony shell. I can curl into a ball sometimes to hide away from danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. I may be stinking cute, black, and white with stripes. I’m usually rather shy, but if I’m feeling frightened, I’ll hit you with a smell, and it can last for months.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. I’m a reptile who spends most of my time in the water\u2014a long tail, ready for swimming, and a powerful jaw filled with 80 teeth perfect for biting. Avoid me at all cost; I’m not for petting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. I stop in my tracks, stunned when scared. When the moment is right, my hooves have me leaping away in fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
