Alpha's ABC's Featured Daily Character  "Vinny Vicuna" 

Here's a few interesting Vicuna Facts:
Vicuña
Vicuñas are the smallest members of the camel family, Camelidae.
These social animals live in family groups of up to twenty-five individuals, which usually consist of one dominant male and his harem of females and their young.
The male is extremely protective of his harem. He has a specialized call to warn of potential predators and he fights with other males — bouts in which, among other things, the opponents may spit at each other.
Vicuñas descend from the hills during the day to feed on grasses and other vegetation, then return to the hills to sleep.
They are now rare, having been heavily exploited to obtain their coat, which is said to make the best wool in the world.

"Ulysses Unicorn"
 Hey kids, Alpha's ABC's "Featured Character" September 27 2011

Unicorn Facts:
Actually the Unicorn is thought to be just a myth, but hey it's a pretty cool character!!!

The Unicorn is a legendary animal, one might say mythical but for the numerous historical accounts of its existence and description. Cave drawings in Lascaux, France depict a horse-like animal with a single straight horn that archeologists have playfully named "the unicorn." Aboriginal paintings found in South Africa and South America are said to be those of unicorns, since they look like no other animal. In 1977, a South American scientist was recorded as stating he believed unicorns to be one of South America's "lost" species, hunted out of existence in pre-history. Still, due to lack of fossil records and other hard-core evidence, most scientists believe the unicorn has never existed.
The modern-day unicorn is depicted as a white horse with a long spiraled golden or white horn coming from its forehead. This has not always been so. In medieval times, the unicorn was considered to be the size of a donkey or goat. It was white, but had the head of a deer, the body of a horse, the tail of a lion, the beard of a goat and cloven hooves.

"Takoda Toucan"
 Hey Boys and Girls!!
Today's Featured Character is:   
"Takoda Toucan" 

You probably already know that toucans have big bills. As a matter of fact, they have larger bills, in proportion to the size of their body, than any other birds. Here are some interesting facts about toucans' bills - and their other physical attributes.

  • An average full-grown toucan weighs less than a pound - about 14 ounces or 400 grams. Full grown toucans are slightly less than two-feet long. From top to tail they are about 20 inches.
  • Studies suggest that a toucan's bill is so large because it helps to keep the bird cool in the warm climates where it lives.
  • Toucans are unable to sweat, which is why they need their bills for air conditioning.
  • Toucans' bills are not solid. Instead, their structure is similar to a honeycomb, making the bills extremely light.
  • Because toucans' bills are so light in weight, they are pretty useless for anything other than cooling. They can't be used for digging or fighting.
  • The bill does, however, allow them to sit in one spot and reach for food, which is a good thing since toucans don't like to move around much.
  • Toucans also can use their bills for camouflage.
  • Toucans' bills average about 8 inches in length.
  • Toucans make use of length of their bills by digging into holes in trees and logs to grab prey.
  • Baby toucans are not born with large beaks; it takes several months for their beaks to reach full size.
  • Toucans have four claws: two on the front and two on the back, which allow them to cling to branches and balance on trees.
