Animal and its vary
We all know that, there is various kind of animal in the world. Spread out from the small one as small as a cell such as amoeba to the biggest land mammals such as elephant. From the birds that fly so high in the sky to the fish in the deepest ocean, Each animal have its own unique characteristic, there's even a few animal that can only be found in certain part of the world. Like Komodo dragon in Indonesia, panda in China,koala bears in Australia,etc.We can divide the animal in group according to many things. By the way they reproduce, generally there is two ways : viviparous and oviparous. Viviparous is group of animal that reproduce by gave birth to a baby, this groups include mammals,etc. Oviparous is the group of animal that reproduce itself by laying egg, for example birds and fish. But there is a kind of animal that reproduce itself by splitting its own body, its usually been conduct by a microscopic animal that being build by only one cell such as amoeba and annelid.According to kind of food they eat we can divides the animal onto thee groups. The first group is the carnivore,this group of animal eat only meat and nothing else,this group include canine, cat,lion,etc. The second one is herbivore, this kind of animal eat only plants and veggies. For example elephant, giraffe,horse,etc. The third group is omnivore is the group that eats almost anything that is available, both veggies and meat. Human and certain kind of monkey ( chimpanzee ) is part of this group.Now a day, few of these animals is facing their extinction and many of them are causes by human behaviors. So its our duty to prevent this. So we can leave the animal as part o our legacy to our future children.

Sumatran Muntjac
In the first ever photograph of a live Sumatran muntjac, the dog-size deer await release from a poachers snare on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.The photo, released Friday, is the first record of the lost muntjac of Sumatra in 80 years an anti poaching patrol had photographed the mountain deer at 6,400 feet (1,950 meters) in 2002.It was only recently, however, that muntjac expert Robert Timmins recognized the rain forest deer in the photo as the first documented Sumatran muntjac since 1930.The species closely resembles the red muntjac. But Timmins was able to identify the Sumatran in the photo because he had earlier rediscovered another lost specimen a stuffed Sumatran muntjac collected in 1914 in London’s natural history museum. Until the British biologist’s museum discovery, the second muntjac species had been largely forgotten by science for some 60 years. This deer might well be relatively common in Sumatra above a certain altitude. Now been confirmed as a distinct species, the Sumatran muntjac has been paced on the global red list of threatened species.
