Now for the hopeful ending: The quagga became the first extinct animal to undergo DNA analysis in 1984. A fun fact: Their name was derived from its call, which sounded like “kwa-ha-ha”. The quagga set themselves apart with limited brown and white stripes on the front part of their body that faded into a mostly brown coat. Here comes the sad part: The quagga roamed South African plains until their extinction in 1878. MARCH: The story of this month’s creature feature is something of an emotional rollercoaster–full of highs and lows that, if you’re like us, can leave you reeling. It’s been said that they can run as fast as horses and survive underwater for up to 5 minutes, and therefore more than worthy of February’s Creature of the Month status. Other facts include that Capybaras are the largest living rodents in the world that can grow to weigh up to 175 lbs. If you’re looking for evidence, or just want to add a little extra cute to your day, check out this video of a baby Capybara and pigs. However, unlike the somewhat horrifying Chupacabra mystery monster, the Capybara is a very real shy but friendly creature. Try saying “Capybara” and “Chupacabra” ten times fast and we guarantee they will feel like the same word. We did indeed feature an amusingly similar-sounding creature in our October 2018 newsletter: the Chupacabra. Didn’t they already feature this creature?” then we commend you for your attention. In the water, she transformed into a narwhal, and her hair, which she was wearing in a twisted knot, became the narwhal tusk.įEBRUARY: If you’re thinking, “Wait, this name sounds familiar. According to Inuit legend, this well-known spiral tusk came to be when a woman with a harpoon rope tied around her waist was pulled into the ocean after the harpoon had struck a large narwhal. How lucky are we that they actually exist in our world? These artic water-dwelling whales sport a large, spear-like tusk that actually stems from a canine tooth. JANUARY: We’re not sure about you, but some of our team spent too many years believing Narwhals, otherwise known as “narwhales,” were magical creatures, only to be found in lore.
