The winning species' conservation partner will receive $10,000 to support their home and ensure their wild legacy continues. Browse the profiles below to meet all the incredible animals from the campaign.
I’m the undisputed King of the jungle. I’m a bit of an introvert—I value my privacy and I’m looking for someone who doesn’t mind a partner who likes to wander. I’m athletic, an incredible swimmer, and I have the most striking coat in the Americas. I’m looking for a "power couple" vibe where we both respect each other's territory. If you’re looking for someone strong, silent, and effortlessly cool, I’m your match.
Interests - Riverside Lounging: I'm not like other cats; I actually love the water. Catch me poolside (or riverbank-side). - Night Vision: I do my best work after the sun goes down. - Travel: I'm a wanderer at heart and need a lot of space to roam. My Party Trick
I’m not here to blend in. I’m small, sure, but my personality is neon. While everyone else is wearing brown, I’m rocking deep purples and electric yellows. I enjoy mountain air and the sound of rushing waterfalls. I’m looking for someone who is patient and committed like me—I’m willing to forego food for weeks to ensure we produce the next generation. But let’s not jump too far ahead and get to know each other first.
Interests - Riverside Relaxation: I’m a mountain stream enthusiast. If there’s a scenic waterfall, I’m there. - Slow Walks: I’m a hopper, but prefer a dignified, slow-motion stroll to show off my patterns. - Eco-Activists: I’m very sensitive to my environment, so I need a partner who is serious about clean living. My Party Trick
I'm a big guy with an even bigger heart. I'm the largest primate on the planet, but a total softie for my family and group brunches. I spend most of my days organizing group brunches and making sure the kids stay out of trouble.
Interests - Foraging for Bamboo: I know all the best spots. - Afternoon Naps: Critical for maintaining this physique. - Sustainable Living: Protecting home is #1. My Party Trick
I’m a pint-sized package of energy with a "work hard, play harder" attitude. I’m strictly a creature of the night—the shadows are my playground. I’m a fashion icon in the animal kingdom, rocking a coat of permanent polka dots that never goes out of style. I’m looking for someone who isn't afraid of a little adventure and doesn't mind that I’m a bit of a "lone wolf" (or lone marsupial) during the day.
Interests - Late-Night Snacking: I’m not picky, but I love a good insect or small lizard. - Interior Decorating: I’m an expert at finding the trendiest hollow logs and rock crevices. - Stealth Mode: I pride myself on being seen only when I want to be seen. My Party Trick
I’m a bit of a "throwback"—my species has been around for millions of years, so I’m definitely not into chasing the latest trends. I’m a peaceful herbivore who believes in a slow-paced lifestyle. I’m a big fan of "spa days" (usually involving a very muddy riverbank) and I’m a world-class swimmer. I’m looking for someone who loves nature, appreciates a unique nose, and doesn't mind a partner who snores a little after a long day of eating leaves.
Interests - Forest Gardening: I'm a one-animal reforestation project. - Deep Diving: I can use my snout like a snorkel. It’s a great conversation starter. - Midnight Strolls: Most active when the forest is cool and quiet. My Party Trick
I’m a true American icon—big, bold, and a lover of wide-open spaces. I'm strong, resilient, and I've seen a lot of history. My ideal date involves a good dust bath, a long wander across rolling grasslands, and someone who appreciates a powerful, no-nonsense spirit. I'm looking for a partner who values tradition, respects the land, and doesn't mind a little healthy competition for my attention.
Interests - Grassland Grazing: I’m a connoisseur of fine grasses. - Herd Life: Family and community are everything to me. - Seasonal Migrations: I love a good road trip, especially when it involves fresh pastures. My Party Trick
If you’re looking for high-drama, you’ve got the wrong shark. I’m all about those tropical, "island time" vibes. I’m sleek, stunningly spotted, and I’d much rather spend my afternoon resting on a sun-drenched patch of sand than chasing a frantic meal. I’m looking for a partner who is easygoing, loves the ocean, and appreciates a shark with a gentler soul.
Interests - Reef Lounging: Unlike some of my cousins, I don’t have to keep swimming to breathe. I’m a professional napper. - Sustainable Seafood: I’m a bottom-feeder with a refined palate for mollusks and crabs. - Island Travel: I live in the "Global Center of Marine Biodiversity"—it’s basically the most beautiful neighborhood on Earth.
