  1. Lion-tailed macaque

     

    The lion-tailed macaque (Macaca silenus) is an Old World monkey that

    is endemic to the Western Ghats of South India.The hair of the

    lion-tailed macaque is dark brown or black. Its outstanding

    characteristic is the silver-white mane which surrounds the head from

    the cheeks down to its chin, which gives this monkey its German name

    of "Beard Ape". The hairless face is black colored. Source :From

    Rhinoceros

     

    Rhinoceros , also known as rhino, is a group of five extant species of

    odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. Two of these species

    are native to Africa and three to southern Asia. The rhinoceros family

    is characterized by its large size (one of the largest remaining

    megafauna), with all of the species able to reach one tonne or more in

    weight; an herbivorous diet; a thick protective skin, 1.5–5 cm thick,

    formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. The

    horns are made of keratin, the same type of protein that makes up hair

    and fingernails.Both African species and the Sumatran Rhinoceros have

    two horns, while the Indian and Javan Rhinoceros have a single horn.
