Jaguar
Physical: Jaguars have brownish-yellow fur with dark rosettes. Often confused with leopards, jaguars may be distinguished by the additional marks in the center of these rosettes. Jaguars also have stockier bodies, shorter limbs, and larger paws than leopards.
Behavioral: Jaguars are amazing swimmers – a behavioral adaptation which works wonders for them as their native habitat is typically characterized by presence of several rivers, streams and swamps. More importantly, they also hunt for food in water wherein they feed on fish, turtles, baby alligators, etc.
Habitat Enclosure: The Jaguar would live in a habitat with arid scrubland, thick tropical forests, swamps, coastal mangroves, lowland river valleys, grasslands, and mixed-conifer forests.
Okapi
Physical: Okapi are well adapted to their dense, dark surroundings. Their distinctly large ears help them to sense hidden predators. Their dark bodies blend into the shadows and their striped hindquarters break up any outline, making it difficult for predators to spot them.
Behavioral: Okapis are largely diurnal (active during the day) and essentially solitary, coming together only to breed. Okapis have several methods of communicating their territory, including scent glands on each foot that leave behind a tar-like substance which signals their passage, as well as urine marking.
Habitat Enclosure: The Okapi would live in a very dense tropical rainforest similar to the Ituri Forest. The enclosure will also have thick vegetation near riverbeds.
Giant Water Lily
Physical: Most species of water lilies have rounded, variously notched, waxy-coated leaves on long stalks that contain many air spaces and float in quiet freshwater habitats. The stalks arise from thick, fleshy, creeping underwater stems that are buried in the mud.
Behavioral: Water lilies have a number of adaptations that help them survive in water, including big leaves that float on the water's surface to attract ample sunlight for photosynthesis. The top side of the leaf is covered with a cuticle to keep it as dry as possible, and the underside has thorns to protect against predators.
Habitat Enclosure: These giant water lilies grow best in shallow, quiet waters such as the backwaters of large river systems. The large flowers open for a brief 2-3 days.
Coffee Plant
Physical: Coffee plants are small evergreen trees or shrubs often with multiple stems and smooth leaves. The leaves are oval in shape and dark, glossy green. Coffee plants produce clusters of cream-white flowers and a fruit, commonly referred to as a berry, which normally possesses two seeds.
Behavioral: The most important conditions necessary for a coffee tree to grow is the presence of a temperate or tropical climate where there is no frost, ample sunshine, and plenty of water. And of course, too much direct sunlight or hydration can have a reverse and detrimental effect upon the trees.
Habitat Enclosure: Coffee is a shade-loving plant that thrives in areas of high altitude, where there is a wet and dry season.
