very nice collection. despite being an amateur zoologist, several of these i had never seen nor heard of. #26, the mara, in particular is a nice example of convergent evolution-- different animals in different types of the world can evolve to resemble each other given similar habitat. so the mara looks so much like a deer. and the mara's head does look a bit like a kanga's because it shared common ancestor with capybaras. looks like a capybara on stilts, really.
The Irrawaddy dolphin is a species of oceanic dolphin found near sea coasts and in estuaries and rivers in parts of the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. Genetically, the Irrawaddy dolphin is closely related to the killer whale.
