However, the first [animal] possibly emerged during the Permian or even the Carboniferous.
Unlike other insectivores, it has a long pig-like snout, which is used to sniff out food.
With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger, barring hybrids like the liger.
Fossil records suggest that in the Late Pleistocene it occurred in Europe and Japan.
The [animal] is characterised by a slender body, deep chest, spotted coat, a small rounded head, black tear-like streaks on the face, long thin legs and a long spotted tail.
They are the largest living primates.
Native to sub-Saharan Africa, both [animal] and bonobos are currently found in the Congo jungle.
The [animal] is distinguished by relatively long legs, pink lips, dark face and tail-tuft through adulthood, and parted long hair on its head.
There have also been unverified reports of their presence on the Comoro island of Mayotte.
They are generally social animals that live in small harems to large herds.
[Animal] are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
These species range in size from 30 to 100 cm (12 to 39 in).
The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge.
Most [animal] cannot blink, but they often lick their eyes to keep them clean and moist.
The common [animal] shares the order Struthioniformes with the kiwis, emus, rheas, and cassowaries.
They are distinguished by their zygodactylous feet; their extensive, highly modified, rapidly extrudable tongues; their swaying gait; and crests or horns on their brows and snouts.
A member of this genus, P. reticulatus, is among the longest snake species and extant reptiles in the world.
This species has a relatively small habitat range in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.
They also prepare food for their larvae by excavating an underground chamber, and filling it with balls that have eggs laid in them.
[Animal] can be mistaken for the related group, damselflies (Zygoptera), which are similar in structure, though usually lighter in build.
