Wild Animals Names, Types of Wild Animals and Examples

Wild Animals

As a zoological term, predators are animals that devour and eat other animals to feed on their meat. While some of these animals prefer to hunt alone, others may prefer to hunt in groups. Although scientifically defined in this way, “predators” among the people have become a name given to non-domestic animal species. Many predators are living on land and in the sea, and these animals even predate human history. So much so that the relatives of our cat, dog, and even our bird that we feed at home are predatory species. Now let’s give examples of predators.

 

Felines

We are no strangers to these predatory animals that live on land and can hunt almost any prey they catch their eye. These animals include species such as lions, tigers, cheetahs, pumas, and lynxes. They are generally known for being fast and strong. The animals mentioned are relatives of your kitten you keep at home.

 

Canids

Canids are common on every continent of the planet we live on. Dog, wolf, fox, and jackal species make up this family. It has a long, flat skull and usually has forty-two teeth. Some members have forty-four teeth. It is designed to break off and chew tooth and jaw fat. It is generally a carnivorous species.

 

Bears

Bears, another predatory species, are classified as “dog-like”, that is, “dog-like carnivores”. There are eight known species and they can be seen in a wide variety of habitats. Bears are known for their stocky-legged large bodies, long snouts, rounded ears, and short tails.

 

Martindale

Although the common feature of most marten is the long and graceful body structure, the body of badgers and wolverines is larger. Many are brown or black in color. Some species have spots, stripes, or other motifs. Their legs and tails are short compared to their bodies.

 

Hyenas

Although their appearance is similar to dogs, they are included in the suborder of felines and, according to the ideas of scientists, are derived from the “musk cat family”. Today they are common in Africa and the lands of South and West Asia. They are known as scavengers.

 

Pinnipeds

The feet of these animals, which belong to the canine suborder, have evolved in the form of fins, enabling them to adapt to life in water. The bears are among the closest living relatives of the martanidae.

 

Seals

They are also known as sea dogs. It is the largest pinniped family of the order Carnivores. They are common on the coasts of cold and temperate seas. The Baikal seal and the lithe seal, which are among the smallest known, reach a length of 110-140 centimeters and a weight of around 50 kilograms.

 

Raccoons

They are also known as little bears. 19 species are belonging to the family. They generally live in temperate and tropical regions of America. They are small to medium-sized mammals that reach 30-67 centimeters in length and 1-12 kilograms in weight. The tail of all members of this family is ringed and long. Their color varies between brown and gray. Their faces are short and broad, their ears erect and small.
