Dragonfly (Anisoptera (suborder name))
"Dragonflies are skilled fliers, capable of hovering, flying backward, and are highly efficient predators."

"Scallops can swim short distances by rapidly clapping their shells to propel themselves with water jets; their shells have radial ribs."
Squirrel (Eurasian Red Squirrel, Eastern Gray Squirrel (common species))

"Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds of up to 112 km/h over short distances."
Yak (None)
"Yaks are bovid species endemic to high-altitude cold regions, adapted to low-oxygen environments, and are important livestock in Tibet."
