Deer

Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed); Cervidae family

3

Frog

Anura (order)

A diverse order of tailless amphibians — over 7,000 species worldwide, ranging from microscopic to football-sized, with skin that breathes, tongues that snap, and an outsized role in ecological monitoring.

4

Hare

Lepus (genus)

A larger, faster cousin of the rabbit — distinguished by long legs, larger ears, solitary habits, and the dramatic spring boxing matches between competing males.

5

Mara

Dolichotis patagonum

The Patagonian mara looks exactly like a small deer but is actually a giant guinea pig — a large South American rodent that runs on the tips of its hoofed toes, mates for life, and lives in colonial warrens where multiple pairs deposit their young in a communal den while taking turns guarding.
