Here are some quick facts:
| Eight subspecies of tiger once flourished throughout Asia; today, six are either extinct or critically at risk, and all are endangered. Only 5,000 tigers remain in the world. | The humpback whale is longer than a big bus and heavier than a circus trailer. Its tongue weighs as much as a whole elephant. The blue whale is bigger than the largest dinosaur that ever lived. Its heart is larger than a Volkswagen. |
| An eagle may fly hundreds of miles a day at 50 miles an hour, soaring up to 14,000 feet. An eagle can spot a rabbit a mile away and immediately plunge 200 miles an hour to seize its prey for dinnertime. | The bald eagle may look bald from afar, but in reality it really is not bald at all. The eagle has white feathers on its head, neck, and tail. "Bald" in this sense is actually a derivation of the Old English word "balde" which means white. So, our eagle was actually named for having white feathers instead of not having feathers! |
