The San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.

-The '''[[chinstrap penguin]]''' is a species of [[penguin]] which inhabits a variety of islands and shores in the Southern Pacific and the [[Southern Ocean|Antarctic Ocean]]. Its name derives from the narrow black band under its head which makes it appear as if it were wearing a black helmet, making it one of the most easily identified types of penguin. Other common names are "ringed penguin", "bearded penguin", and "stonecracker penguin" due to its harsh call.

-The official mascot of [[Westarctica]], [[Sir Percival Waddlesworth]], is a chinstrap penguin.
-This particular species was chosen because the [[emperor penguin]] is already in use for the official seal of [[Grand Duke Travis]] and His Royal Highness has previously expressed his fondness for chinstrap penguins, which he believes are cuter than the more plentiful [[Adélie penguin]]s.
