Our Diverse Natural World

1. Andean condor:
 This magnificent creature is known as the King of the Andes, and is the largest flying bird in the world. With its wings fully open it can measure up to 3.4 metres. It has great eyesight, which makes it the perfect hunter and it can fly, or glide, up to one hour without moving its wings.

2. Pink dolphin:
The Amazon and Orinoco Rivers are this mammal’s natural habitat. Adults have a very unusual colour and can weigh up to 185 kilos and measure up to 2.5 metres in length. 

3. Sloth:
This furry mammal spends most of its life hanging upside down from trees in the forest. Its name comes from the fact that at first it seems very lazy and slow. There are two species of this mammal: two-toed and three-toed.

4. Spectacled bear:
This animal gets its name from the distinctive white marks around its eyes. Its fur is usually black, but sometimes it can be a red-brown colour. It has a great sense of hearing.

5. Blue anole lizard:
This little animal is only found on the island of Gorgona, where it lives in the trees. Its distinctive colour is very rare for this species.
