Peter Moosebridge

Peter Moosebridge (voiced by Peter Mansbridge) is a character from the movie Zootopia (known in Europe and Zootropolis) and is a moose co-anchor of the ZTV news in the North American and French version. He is used in the standard version of the film, released in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Russia, and Mexico. In other countries, the anchor is a different animal voiced by a different actor. David Campbell voices a koala newscharacter named David Koalabell in the Australian version as well as in New Zealand. The Brazilian version uses a jaguar named Oncardo Boi Chau that is voiced by Ricardo Boechat. The Japanese version uses a tanuki named Michael Tanuyama. The Chinese version uses an unnamed giant panda. And in the British version, Vassos Alexander voices a Welsh corgi named Moosos Alexander. These are the versions of Peter (North America and France), Michael (Japan), David (Australia and New Zealand), and the panda (China).

Sonora beaver

The Sonora beaver (Castor Canadensis Frondator) is a subspecies of the North American beaver native to Sonora, Mexico. They are the rarest of all the N. American beavers and may also bee found in Southern California and Arizona. We often think of beavers living North but it turns out they live in the South such as Mexico and the Gulf states. This is an illustration from James Audubon in 1842.

California golden beaver

The California golden beaver (Castor Canadensis Subauratus) is a subspecies of the North American beaver native to Northern and Central California. Like the Southern sea otter, the California golden beaver is considered to be a keystone species to California. Beavers in California are now commonly found in Sierra Nevada. Wolves are considered to be a keystone species to Yellowstone national park and other places in the US like the Eurasian beaver is considered to be a keystone species to Scotland.

California Fur Rush

Before the 1849 California Fur Rush, American, English, and Russian fur hunters were drawn to Spanish (and then Mexican) in a CA Fur Rush, to exploit its enormous fur resources. Before 1825, these Europeans were drawn to the Northern and Central California coast to harvest prodigious quantities of sea otters and fur seals, and then to the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento - San Joaquin River Delta to harvest beavers, river otters, bears, martens, fishers, minks, foxes, weasels, and harbor seals. It was California's early fur trade, more that any other single factor, that opened up the West, and the San Francisco Bay Area in particular, to world trade. California golden beavers are recolonizing the Bay Area from East to West and fur seals began to recolonize the Farallon islands in 1996. Both the California golden beaver and Southern sea otter are keystone species, with a stabilizing and broad impact on their local ecosystems. The spring 2007 sea otter survey counted 3,026 sea otters in the Central California coast, down from a single colony of about 50 sea otters discovered near the mouth of Bixby Creek along California's Big Sur coast in 1938. The grizzly bears of California went extinct in 1924 and in the 1950's, it became California's state animal. Since the 1950's, ecologists have debated the reintroduction of grizzly bears back to California.

Texas beaver

The Texas beaver (Castor Canadensis Texensis) is a subspecies of the North American beaver native to Texas as well as in Oklahoma. Unlike its Northern relatives, the Texas beaver usually can move about during most of the winter season. It is one of the 15 subspecies of the N. American beaver along with the Canadian, Newfoundland, Carolina, Pacific, California golden, Washington, Sonora, Missouri river, and other subspecies. Beavers maybe found in every US state (except Hawaii), even Wisconsin. The beaver and the horse are the national animals of Canada. N. American beavers have been introduced to Scandinavia and Patagonia. Eurasian beavers (Castor Fiber) may have been introduced to the Japanese island of Shikoku as an effort to enrich the fauna or to live alongside with the otters living there. Beavers can hold their breath underwater for up to 15 minutes and are the largest rodents in North America. North American beavers are slightly larger than the Eurasian beaver. Eurasian beavers have been reintroduced to Scotland, Mongolia, China, Italy, Portugal, The Balkans, and The Middle East to restore balance. Beavers' only natural predators to penetrate the lodge are otters, both beavers and otters can swim but otters can swim up into the lodge to slaughter the pups. We often think of beavers as Northern animals but it turns out they live in the Southern part such as the Gulf States and Northern Mexico. The largest rodent living today is the capybara. When my dad was driving to work, he saw a tree cut down but it wasn't axed or something, it was gnawed and my grandfather trapped a beaver and made a pelt from the beaver. Wolves used to live in Texas and are now extinct there except coyotes. Coyotes live everywhere throughout the US. Beavers and wolves are keystone species to the forest and without them, the ecosystem would be out of balance. There is a Beaver island in Lake Michigan.

Cheetah

The cheetah or hunting leopard (Acinonyx Jubatus) is a vulnerable species of big cat native to Africa and Southwest Asia. Cheetahs in Asia now occur in Iran and also used to live in India until 1950. The extinct American cheetah instead lived in the Miracinonyx genus. There are 5 cheetah subspecies alive, 3 vulnerable and 2 critically endangered. The subspecies are the South African, Tanzanian, Sudan, Northwest African, and Asiatic. Cheetahs used to live everywhere throughout the Middle East and India. It is the only extant member of the Acinonyx genus. This is a South African cheetah, which is the nominate species. It is the most medium sized big cat in Africa and is basically yellowish tan or rufous to greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered with nearly 2,000 solid black spots. The Asiatic cheetah and South African are the best known cheetah species. Although they aren't leopards, they are called hunting leopards because of their spots and are the fastest land animal, reaching speeds of up to 75 mph.

American lion

The American lion (Panthera Leo Atrox), also known as the North American lion, Naegele's giant jaguar, or American cave lion, is an extinct lion of the Panthera genus native to North America as well as Northeastern South America. It lived from 340,000 years to 11,000 years ago at the end of the ice age. The American lion was 25% larger than a modern day African lion.

Iranian lions

The reintroduction of lions to Iran involves the artificial reestablishment of a population of Asiatic lions into areas where they have previously existed before humans driven them to extinction in 1942. The only remaining big cats of Iran are the Asiatic cheetah, Eurasian lynx, and Persian leopard. The Caspian tiger lived in Iran and is now completely extinct. It is said that India wanted the Asiatic cheetah in exchange for the lion and was not willing to export any of its cheetahs. Today, the Asiatic lion only lives in Gir forest national park in Northwestern India. Cheetahs and lions both coexist in all places but now live in different parts of Asia and are extinct in North America. The lions and cheetahs of Asia are critically endangered! Since the early 2000's, scientists have debated the reintroduction of lions back to Iran and cheetahs back to India. Fewer than 500 Asian lions remain in the wild. The Asian lion's mane is slightly smaller than the African's. It is one of the few extinct species of Iran along with the Syrian elephant, Caucasian moose, Caspian tiger, and auroch. Despite of its size, the Asiatic lion mainly preys on buffalo because African lions hunt bigger prey and are larger than Asian lions. The Caspian tigers of Iran went extinct in the late 1950's.

Indian cheetahs

The reintroduction of cheetahs in India involves the artificial reestablishment of a population of Asiatic cheetahs into areas where they had previously existed but were hunted to extinction in 1950 due to British colonials and Indian royalty. Apart of the reintroduction process is the identification and restoration of their former grassland scrub forests. This is within the scope of the duties of the local forest department of each state, where relocation occurs, through the Central government funding. There are a lot of pictures of cheetahs in India taken in 1897 like this one. Today, the cheetah only lives in Iran. Until the 20th century, the cheetah was quite common and roamed all the way from Israel, the Arabian peninsula to Iran, Afghanistan, and India and ranged as far South as Tamil Nadu. During the early 2000's, scientists were planing to clone the Asian cheetah back to India. The Ancient Indians had a great respect of cheetahs calling it "Hunting leopard". People are also trying to clone wolves back to Ireland. It is said that Iran wanted the Asiatic lion in exchange for the cheetah and was not willing to export any of its lions. In 2009, the Indian government contacted Iran again to explore the possibility of Iran supplying cheetahs to help to reestablish their presence of the subcontinent decades after they were hunted to extinction. The Iranian embassy in Delhi had said that its government was in the process of arranging talks. Lions and cheetahs coexist in all places but are now in different parts of Asia and are extinct in North America.

European rabbit

The European or common rabbit (Oryctolagus Cuniculus) is a species pf rabbit native to the Iberian peninsula and Northwest Africa and has been introduced to all continents besides Antarctica. Its main predators are the Iberian lynx, red fox, and Spanish imperial eagle and live in burrows called warrens. Australia has the most problems with European rabbits and is considered to be one of the 100 worst invasive species. Red foxes and dingoes were also introduced to Australia but the dingo isn't too harmful to native species. Dingoes have been introduced to Australia by Asian seafarers and red necked wallabies were introduced to Scotland. I wonder if that wallaby is considered to be on the 100 worst invasive species list. In the movie Zootopia (Known in Europe as Zootropolis), Judy Hopps is a European rabbit. Both European rabbits and Red foxes were introduced to Australia and are considered to be one of the 100 worst invasive species.

Chinese mountain cat

The Chinese mountain cat (Felis Bieti), also known as the Chinese desert cat or Chinese steppe cat, is a rare wild feline native to the foothills of Central and Northern China as well as in Southern Mongolia. They mainly prey on pikas, rodents, and birds and are nocturnal. They breed between January and March and give birth of up to 2 to 4 kittens. It is also one of the 6 felines in the Felis genus along with the domestic house cat, jungle cat, wildcat, black footed cat, and sand cat. there is another type of mountain cat called the Andean mountain cat. It is one of the 3 types of steppe cats along with the Pallas's cat and Asiatic wildcat.
