Hawaiian Hoary Bat
Scientific Name: Lasiurus Cinereus Semotus
Common Name:  Hoary or Frosty


The hoary bat is the most widespread bat in the continental United States,  this subspecies is the only land mammal  that is endemic to the islands. It is a federally listed endangered taxon of the United States

The complete extirpation  of the bat from Oʻahu may have been caused by habitat loss as the human population grew in the 19th century, and possibly                                                                      hastened by pesticide use.

Point Arena Mountain Beaver
Scientific Name: Aplodontia Rufa Nigra

Common Name: Aplodontia, boomer, Ground bear,                                      and Giant moleMountain beavers are brown, but their fur can range from slightly more reddish to more blackish depending on subspecies, with a light patch under each ear. The animals have distinctively short tails.  These animals appear to be physiologically limited to moist microenvironments, with most subspecies occurring only in regions with minimal snowfall and cool winters. They do not appear to be able to conserve body heat or warmth as efficiently as other rodents.

Alteration of natural habitat caused by urban development, timber harvesting, and agricultural practices; brush clearing; predation by domesticated animals(cats & dogs); rodent control measures intended for other species.

Jaguar
Scientic Name: Panthera Onca
Common Name: Tigre Real, Tigre Americano,                                                  Otorongo, Yaguar, Yaguarete or Snow                                Jaguar
The jaguar , Panthera onca, is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus , and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar's present range extends from Southwestern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina.
 
The jaguar is a near threatened  species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America. Although reduced, its range remains large; given its historical distribution, the jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including those of the Maya and Aztec.
