The Warthog or Common Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus, “African Lens-Pig”) is a wild member of the pig family that lives in Africa. The common name comes from the four large wart-like protrusions found on the head of the warthog, which serve the purpose of defence when males fight. They are the only widely recognised species in their genus, though some authors divide them into two species. On that classification, P. africanus is the Common (or Northern) Warthog and P. aethiopicus is the Desert Warthog, also known as the Cape or Somali Warthog.

Duck is the common name for a number of species in the Anatidae family of birds. The ducks are divided between several subfamilies in the Anatidae family; they do not represent a monophyletic group but a form taxon, since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, mostly smaller than the swans and geese, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.

A pooper-scooper, or poop scoop, is a device used to pick up an animal’s fecal matter. This includes devices which remove feces from public places and yards. Pooper-scooper devices often have a bag or bag attachment. ‘Poop bags’ are alternatives to pooper scoopers, and are simply a bag, usually turned inside out, to carry the feces to a proper disposal area. Sometimes, the person performing the cleanup is also known as the pooper-scooper.

Is what is known as a pinniped. Their name means (pinni) wing, and (ped) meaning foot. This means they have a wing like feet.
Walruses are the very largest pinnipeds in the Arctic.

They enjoy living in shallow areas in the water and ice floes or land to lie on.
There are two kinds of Walrus, The Atlantic and the Pacific Walrus.

Walrus migrate, which means they travel a great distance in the spring and again in the fall to follow their food sources. The movement of the ice floes, advancing and retreating seems to tell the walrus when its time to go.

A male Walrus, which is called a bull, is a very large animal who can weigh well over 4000 pounds, or two tons. Females, called cows are much smaller and weigh about half what the bull weighs.
The bulls may also be about 12 feet long, while cows reach usually only about 9 feet. Walrus can be any color from pink to deep brown.
Males have amazingly long tusks, which they use to fight prior to breeding and long whiskers.
