Panda Bear Panda hair closely resembles polar bear hair and
black bear hair (the white and black) Very thick and very coarse
Medulla absent in white, continuous in black Cortex very large
Cuticle overlapping Bamboo does not offer enough nutrition to
hibernate so the giant panda must go south for the winter Zoos give
birthday cakes made of ice and vegetables with bamboo candles to
pandas http://www.sandiegozoo.org/animalbytes/sounds/p

Cortex Medium size Color unknown Shape: tiny little lines and dots
Cuticle Thin, white outer edge. Interesting Facts Wombats are very
shy animals. Farmers consider wombats pests because they damage
crops and fences, and cattle may break their legs by stepping in
wombat burrows.
Slide 7
Cuticle: Imbricate or flattened scales, white, very thin.
Cortex: Dark gray to black coloring, thin. Medulla: Continuous,
grey color, very thick. Interesting Facts: 1.) One of the biggest
racks of antlers ever found was 81 inches across and 77 pounds. 2.)
A bull moose looses his antlers each and every year! 3.) Moose have
hollow hair which helps them to float.

Zebra Every zebra has unique stripes, just like human
fingerprints Zebras cannot be tamed like horses because of their
unpredictable, wild nature Cuticle- imbricate/ flattened scales
Cortex- dark and thick; making up mostly all of hair. Cortex varies
from light to dark due to if the hair is black or white. Medulla-

Deer Hair Fiber Analysis Ben Moller Cuticle, particularly thick
compared to other rodents or animals Medulla, is continuous
throughout the entire fiber. Cortex, used to determine pigment,
which in this case is brown Scale Pattern: Spinus or petal- like
scales protruding off from the shafts on the hair fibers.

part of the hair Cortex Large, grey inner part of the hair between
the Cuticle and the Medulla Medulla Unseen in this picture The
skunks scientific name is mephitis mephitis, which actually means
"noxious gas, noxious gas. Before a skunk sprays it goes through a
series of warning motions Medulla
Monkey Annemarie Perilli Cuticle Cortex is thick Medulla is
thin and continuous Monkeys use vocalizations, facial expressions,
and body movements to communicate A monkey was once convicted and
tried for having smoked in Indiana

Squirrel Medulla Cortex Cuticle o Scale pattern is imbricate,
crenate o Many squirrels use their tails as a form of complex
communication o Their teeth never stop growing o Gnawing helps the
teeth not grow into their neck
