Colo Colo (mythology)
The Colo Colo or Colocolo is an evil rat-like creature from Mapuche mythology. The colocolo is reputed to nest near a residence and sneak in, drinking blood from a sleeping resident, or sucking or extracting saliva, or licking utensil, causing debilitating weakness or tuberculosis. It must be exterminated in timely manner to save the life of the human. It is often said to hatch from a stunted-looking "rooster's egg", and the young resembles a snake or burrowing lizard, but it later metamorphose, metamorphosing into a feathered rat form. A type of wildcat is also called "colocolo", and this may perhaps be related to the origin of the lore. Legend According to Mapuche legend, the Colo Colo is a bloodthirsty animal which begins its life first as a hen's egg (or a rooster's egg by popular belief), and then as a snake or lizard that hatches out when the baking sun's heat is sufficient during incubation. Then after some while, it metamorphoses into this creature, like a feathered ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Northern House Wren
The northern house wren (''Troglodytes aedon'') is a very small passerine in the wren family Troglodytidae. It is found in southern Canada, the USA and Mexico. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range. It formerly included many subspecies resident in South America and in the Caribbean that are now considered as separate species. The name ''troglodytes'' means "hole dweller", and is a reference to the bird's tendency to disappear into crevices when hunting insects or to seek shelter. Taxonomy The northern house wren was formally described in 1809 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot under the current binomial name ''Troglodytes aedon''. The specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek ''aēdōn'' meaning "nightingale". The type locality was designated as New York City by Harry Oberholser in 1934. An earlier specific name, ''domestica'' in the combination ''Sylvia domestica'', was introduced in 1808 by the American ornithologist Alexander Wilson. This was rarely ...

Marsupial
Marsupials are a diverse group of mammals belonging to the infraclass Marsupialia. They are natively found in Australasia, Wallacea, and the Americas. One of marsupials' unique features is their reproductive strategy: the young are born in a relatively undeveloped state and then nurtured within a pouch on their mother's abdomen. Extant marsupials encompass many species, including Kangaroo, kangaroos, Koala, koalas, Opossum, opossums, Phalangeriformes, possums, Tasmanian devil, Tasmanian devils, Wombat, wombats, Wallaby, wallabies, and Bandicoot, bandicoots. Marsupials constitute a clade stemming from the last common ancestor of extant Metatheria, which encompasses all mammals more closely related to marsupials than to Placentalia, placentals. The evolutionary split between placentals and marsupials occurred 125-160 million years ago, in the Middle Jurassic-Early Cretaceous period. Presently, close to 70% of the 334 extant marsupial species are concentrated on the Australian ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pampas Cat
The Pampas cat (''Leopardus colocola'') is a small wild cat native to South America. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List as habitat conversion and destruction may cause the population to decline in the future. It is named after the Pampas, but occurs in grassland, shrubland, and dry forest at elevations up to . There was a proposal to divide the Pampas cat into three distinct species, based primarily on differences in pelage colour/pattern and cranial measurements. Accordingly, three species were recognised in the 2005 edition of ''Mammal Species of the World'': the colocolo (''L. colocolo''), the Pantanal cat (''L. braccatus''), and the Pampas cat (''L. pajeros'') with a more restricted definition. This split at species level was not supported by subsequent phylogeographic analysis, although some geographical substructure was recognised, and some authorities continue to recognise the Pampas cat as a single species.
