Deer
The deer are mammals of the order of artiodactyls belonging, in strict sense, to the Cervidae family. However, several similar species of other families of the same order, are also called deer. In Portugal this term is usually used to refer to the red-deer.
Are found worldwide, except in Australia (the species that live there, although in the wild, were introduced in colonization). The males of most species are lop or antlers (not horns, what distinguishes the group from other ruminants) in the skull, which are renewed annually. Are used as a weapon during the season of mating, in fights between males. The deer have no lop long upper canines, which use as a weapon. The deer are polygamous.
The deer are herbivores with food due to lack specific expertise of your stomach, not digest fibrous vegetation such as grass. Thus, fed mainly on buds, leaves, fruits and lichens. Have high nutritional requirements for minerals that allow them to grow new lop every year.
Certain species of deer throughout the Americas were almost exterminated because its meat considered a delicacy. Many species are endangered.
The lesser known is the deer Muntiacus putaoensis, found in 1997 in Myanmar, with only 45 cm tall.

Rabbit
Rabbit
Rabbits are lagomorphs are mammals of the Leporidae family in general of the genera Oryctolagus and Sylvilagus. Characterized by the tail and short ears and long legs. These small mammals are found easily in many regions of the planet. The term is used to refer to the species from eight genera, including the rabbit-in-Amami (Pentalagus), the American rabbits (Sylvilagus), and pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus). Some authors [1] include the gender Caprolagus in the group of rabbits (rabbit-Asian), but most classify it as belonging to the hare. The most common species is Oryctolagus cuniculus, and rabbit-European.
Classic episode of disruption was the introduction of eco-European rabbit in Australia. Brought to this country in the nineteenth century, that there is increased in mammalian unsuspected levels to see if free of natural predators and soon to become pests in the field. All efforts to control the situation were useless until they inoculated the animals to infectious myxomatosis, a disease endemic among birds but the Brazilian has been fatal in 99% of cases.
The rabbits are mammals of the order of lagomorphs and the family of hares. It has long ears and legs - although smaller than those of hares true - have a short tail and not out as a corridor. The two genera of rabbits Oryctolagus are the most representative, of which the common European rabbit, Sylvilagus and with many North American species and tapiti or rabbit-to-kill Brazil. Most of its species usually gallery open ground, where several generations come in nests. Your body is always smaller than that of hares.

Monkey
Monkey
Monkey in the broadest sense, is the common name for all species of monkeys or apes, implemented in Brazil, narrowly, to cebídeos (or New World monkeys) in general. The economic designation, also used much in Brazil, usually applied to species of the genus Cebus, the South, and species of small, or sago, in the north.
In the strict sense, refers to the monkey species of primates belonging to the genus Macaca.
Most monkeys live in hot countries, are feeding fruits and seeds. Animals are generally intelligent, sociable. The so-called great apes (broad sense) - chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan - are currently the closest animals to man, belonging to the family of hominids.

Cat
Cat
The cat or domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) is a small carnivorous mammal of the Felidae. The cat is living close to humans for nearly 9500 years, [1] much earlier date prior to the estimated 3,500 to 8000 years [2].
The names derive from the current widespread cattus vulgar Latin word that refers to the wild cats especially in contrast to domestic cats, in Latin, they were called felis.
There are dozens of races, some hairless or tailless as a result of genetic mutations, and exist in a wide variety of colors. They are skillful predators can hunt more than one hundred different species of animals for food. They are also animals that can absorb some, and some have the ability to be trained to manipulate simple mechanisms.
They communicate with groans, hisses, grunts and about a hundred different vocalizations, [3] in addition to body language.
It is believed that the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) is its immediate ancestor.
