Abu Dhabi Wildlife 

• This form of research is because I need to know the basic facts the animals I will photographing and then writing articles about. 
• I simply looked up some of the more popular animals of Abu Dhabi, to give me a understanding of the animals my target audience want to learn about. 
• I know this through my careful observations and questionnaires.

A Falcon is any one of 37 species of raptor in the genus Falco, widely distributed on all continents of the world except Antarctica.

Adult falcons have thin tapered wings, which enable them to fly at high speed and to change direction rapidly. Fledgling falcons, in their first year of flying, have longer flight feathers, which makes their configuration more like that of a general-purpose bird such as a broad wing. This makes it easier to fly while learning the exceptional skills required to be effective hunters as adults.

Sea turtles (super family Chelonioidea), sometimes called marine turtles are reptiles of the order of Testudines. There are seven species of sea turtles. They are the leather back sea turtle, green sea turtle,loggerhead sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, hawks bill sea turtle, flat back sea turtle and olive ridley sea turtle. Four of the species have been identified as "endangered" or "critically endangered" with another two being classed as "vulnerable".

The lion (Panthera Leo) is one of the five big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. 

Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia (where are dangered remnant population resides in Gir Forest National Park in India) while other types of lions have disappeared from North Africa and South west Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans.

They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru. The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a major population decline in its African range of 30–50% per two decades during the second half of the 20th century.

A camel is an even-toed hoofed animal within the genus Camelus, bearing distinctive fatty deposits known as "humps" on its back. The two surviving species of camel are the dromedary, or one-humped camel (C. dromedarius), which inhabits the Middle East and the Horn of Africa; and the bactrian, or two-humped camel (C. bactrianus), which inhabits Central Asia. Both species have been domesticated; they provide milk, meat, hair for textiles or goods such as felted pouches, and are working animals with tasks ranging from human transport to bearing loads.
