Specialized creatures are amazing!

They have special features and abilities that allow them to survive where other animals can'’’t.

CHRIS: Like the koala, who feeds on poisonous leaves of the eucalyptus forest.

MARTIN: Or thorny devils who live in the driest, hottest, most inhospitable deserts on Earth.

CHRIS: The camel'’’s habitat is desert.

And he is built to live there.

Take a close look at his face.

Those eyelashes keep blowing sand out of his face, protecting his eyes during a sandstorm.

Look at this huge body with the super-long legs.

Those can cover a lot of ground through the big, open desert.

And check out the feet.

They'’’re huge and plate-shaped.

Sand shoes, so that the camel doesn'’’t sink in the deep sand.

You are one cool creature.

MARTIN: You can'’’t take an alpaca and put him in the desert.

He wouldn'’’t survive.

They'’’d get too hot, they couldn'’’t find enough water.

Alpacas have to eat and drink every single day.

An alpaca'’’s foot is specially designed for climbing through rough mountainous terrain.

And one really neat thing about them are their feet, those two toes.

They can grip and grab and hang on to small crevices.

These alpacas can climb up the steepest slopes.

CHRIS: There are so many great specialists out there in the creature world.

Oh, yeah!

CHRIS: Like kangaroos who are designed to conserve energy with their special hop in the Australian Outback.

Or the American badger who lives on and under the prairies with that compact, digging body.

MARTIN: The Japanese Snow monkey, who with his special behavior can endure the icy cold weather of the Shiga Mountains.

CHRIS: Or the cheetah who specializes in chasing prey across the wide open savanna.

MARTIN: Or the big horn sheep, specialized for life on the high slopes of the Rocky Mountains.

So keep on getting to know all the amazing specialized creatures.

We'’’ll see you on the creature trail.
