Animal Information
Capercaillie (Western Capercaillie, Wood Grouse)
"Male capercaillies are very large with glossy black plumage and have complex courtship displays during the breeding season."
Hagfish (Slime Eel)
"Hagfish are primitive jawless fish that can produce copious amounts of slime for defense and feed on carrion or invertebrates."
Beaver (Castor)
"Beavers are famous for building dams and lodges and are one of the few animals that can significantly alter their environment."
Dingo (Canis lupus dingo)
"Dingoes are descendants of dogs introduced to Australia early on, now adapted to wild environments and are apex predators."
Shoebill (Whalehead, Balaeniceps rex)
"The shoebill has a massive, shoe-shaped beak, stands motionless, and is known for its peculiar appearance and predation on lungfish."
Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna)
"The hammerhead shark's unique hammer-shaped head (cephalofoil) expands its field of vision and olfactory range, aiding in hunting."
White Wagtail (Motacilla alba)
"White Wagtails are easily recognizable by their black, white, and grey plumage and their habit of constantly wagging their tails while walking."
Chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera)
"Chinchillas have the densest fur of any known mammal and clean their fur by taking dust baths."
Caracal (Desert Lynx, African Caracal)
"Caracals have long black tufts on their ear tips and excellent leaping ability, capable of catching birds in flight."
Dragonfly (Anisoptera (suborder name))
"Dragonflies are skilled fliers, capable of hovering, flying backward, and are highly efficient predators."
Pike (Northern Pike (common))
"Pike are ferocious ambush predators with large mouths and sharp teeth, known as the 'wolf of freshwater'."
Axolotl (Mexican Walking Fish, Ambystoma mexicanum)
"Axolotls can remain in their larval form throughout life (neoteny), have powerful regenerative abilities, and are popular pets."
Pigeon (Rock Dove, Domestic Pigeon)
"Pigeons have excellent navigation skills, able to use the Earth's magnetic field and the sun for direction."
Swift (Common Swift)
"Swifts are master fliers, spending most of their lives in the air, even sleeping and mating on the wing."
Eel (Freshwater Eel, Marine Eel (different species))
"Many eel species have migratory spawning habits; for example, European eels migrate to the Sargasso Sea to spawn."
Stink Bug (Shield Bug, True Bug (Pentatomoidea))
"Many stink bugs release a foul odor for defense when alarmed; they have piercing-sucking mouthparts and are herbivorous or carnivorous."
Elk (Wapiti (Elk in North America))
"Elk are one of the largest deer species; males have large, multi-branched antlers and a distinctive bugling call."
Saiga Antelope (Saiga tatarica)
"Saiga antelopes have a large, inflatable, downward-pointing nose that filters dust and warms air; they are critically endangered."
Rabbit (Domestic rabbit, Hare)
"Rabbit teeth grow continuously, and they need to gnaw to wear them down."
European Starling (Common Starling)
"European Starlings can form huge flying flocks called 'murmurations', which are spectacular to watch."
