The Arctic Ocean Happy-Headed Jelly-Fish-Bear also known as the Jelly-Fish-Bear is a very interesting animal because it is half mammal and half jelly-fish. It is related to the bear/polar bear family and elephant family.
The Jelly-Fish-Bear has an elephant head and has creamy white fluffy ears. It has a polar bear body but it has big black spots. The tentacles are bright red from all the blood rushing to them to keep them warm. This is important because they live in a hole in the ice and they put their tentacles in the icy water.
Ice floes in the Arctic Ocean are the main habitat of the Jelly-Fish-Bear.When it gets frostbite (quite often) it shakes until it warms up (it normally takes five mins). When it gets scared it turns white (like the ice) to camouflage itself. It is born 7mm long and the full/average size is 7cm ( the biggest humans have found is 8.7cm).
Fish eggs are the Jelly-Fish-Bears main diet. It is a very small eater, and only eats once a day. If it can it sometimes eats fish that have just hatched from the eggs (very occasionally).
The Jelly-Fish-Bear has live babies. They are born purple in litters of 10. They are first born with gills and after about one week it breaks through the ice and the gills turn into little pink lines.
73 years and 14 days is the exact length of their life (unless they have been eaten). Every month they give birth to a litter so they are not endangered. They stay with their Mum for about five years or until they can defend themselves from predators.
Hammerhead sharks and whales are their predators. When they sense the Jelly-Fish-Bears predators they turn white (like ice).They do not harm anything bigger than them except fish eggs and baby fish.
The Arctic Ocean Happy- Headed Jelly- Fish-Bear is a very small animal which does not harm except to catch food. It is an intelligent animal and humans have figured out they are not a pest to anything.

The African dog can be found in trees or small holes under ground.
The African dog has big green and purple eyes a orange body with black spots and yellow claws it has scales and weighs 8 kg.
When a creature tries to get or eat the African dog they stick out their claws and scratch them.
When the African dog has a baby the girls come out in some sticky liquid but the boys come out in a small egg shell. The egg shell has all kinds’s of coloured spots this is because that is how the adults can tell what to call it. So if the egg shell had green and red spots the mum will call him the big footed greed and red spotted african dog .
The boys can live up to 70 years old but the girls can live up to 100 years of age.
The Giant-footed African dog is a creature that does not like other creatures. In 2012 their numbers dropped so there are only 10 left in the world .
The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug is a rare and endangered mammal. With under two thousand of these left in the Sri Lankan rainforest it’s life is changing and in danger.
The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug is the most intelligent,most creative creature there is in the rainforest. In fact its face is Cat-like with oval eyes and delicate ears,cat facial details. Its body all the way down to the waist is like a Dinosaur’s. With their sharp claws they can check if their prey is dead or is still alive.It digs with them too. The bottom part of it’s body is like a Tiger. To run fast they use their paws.
The Humbug can weigh about 5 kgs and is about 14 centimeters long when it is a baby. When its an adult it weighs double that!When the female has babies,they are born live. They are as green as the grass and scaly with wings.The mother should have up to sixteen babies at a time. The babies nest is made of bark and mud.The female has to rest on it plus push to get the babies out. However,the male doesn’t do anything but guards the babies when the mother goes hunting.
The Humbug eats animals that live under ground. Such as Worms and Moles. To drink they have to drink mud.It’s got protein to make hem fit and healthy.
To hunt and get food the Humbug uses it’s excellent hum. It can hear the slightest movement even from the quietest worm. To get their prey they dig with their Dinosaur-like claws.To help get the prey that they want the Humbug must hum to make them fall asleep.They then stand and squish them till their flesh comes out. After,the female eats her share and the rest of the family eat to get stronger and stronger. If the female doesn’t catch anything,then she and her family will starve.
The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug lives in the Sri Lankan rainforest.Among the leaves they take shelter and it’s their home for safety. They make sure the leaves have no harmful bacteria that will cause the babies to die.
The Cat Faced Two-Legged Humbug survives by using it’s feet.Their Tiger-like feet can run a mile in 400 mili seconds.That is the fastest animal in the rainforest. Native tribes in the rainforest feast on Humbugs to celebrate the rainforest’s anniversary. Luckily the Humbug can run really fast and avoid being caught.
The Humbug has two relatives.The Cow-spotted Quaver and the Ring-Necked Memble Fud. They are rare indeed.To communicate they meet in the exact middle of the rainforest.They all use sign language.Some scientists say that they don’t communicate that way,but they communicate by howling like a Wolf.
The Humbug runs fast to keep away from enimies and has about 16 babies at a time. The female has to make and do everything for her family.
