Animal of the Day!
Somali Wild Ass (Equus africanus somaliensis)
(Photo from San Diego Zoo)
Conservation Status- Critically Endangered
Habitat- Somalia, Somaliland; Eritrea; Ethiopia
Size (Weight/Length)- 270 kg; 1.5 m tall
Diet- Grasses; Bark; Roots; Leaves
Cool Facts- Numbering less than 1,000 individuals, the Somali wild ass is a subspecies of the African wild ass. Herds change in size depending on the amount of rain for that year. Stallions generally take care of a dozen or so mares throughout their territory, but large gatherings of mares can occur when rain and food is plentiful. Other males are welcome to enter the stallion’s territory, as long as they only graze and show no interest in gaining a mate. Mares are pregnant for about a year and the foal stays with their parent herd for several years before branching out. Somali wild ass are hunted for medicinal purposes and for acting as competition for livestock. Luckily, zoos around the world are working towards breeding Somali wild ass and releasing them back into the wild.
Rating- 12/10 (Close relatives to zebras.)

Animal of the Day!
Arboreal Minute Salamander (Thorius arboreus)
Photo from iNaturalist)
Conservation Status- Critically Endangered
Habitat- Sierra de Juarez Mountains in Mexico
Size (Weight/Length)- 17 mm
Diet- Insects
Cool Facts- The tiny arboreal minute salamander lives in a cloud forest in southern Mexico. Their home is made up of thick layers of moss, short trees, and bromeliads. Due to low clouds, morning fog occurs on a daily basis and results in a wet environment, perfect for these tiny salamanders. They spend the majority of their lives clinging to bromeliads growing on their host trees. The arboreal minute salamander’s toes are specially padded, allowing for easy movement in the treetops. Having an extremely small range that is at constant risk of deforestation, the arboreal minute salamander is reducing rapidly in population.
Rating- 11/10 (Little guy trying his best.)
