Sun bears are a rare species of bear found throughout the forests of South-East Asia. They're excellent climbers, using their strength and giant claws to grip tightly and scale large tree trunks. Sun bears usually climb trees to find food, such as fruit, insects, or nuts, but they also spend time in trees in order to avoid predators. Higher ground is cooler and safer for these bears, so it's not uncommon for them to sleep or rest up in the tree tops. ☀️🐻

Beavers are incredibly intelligent animals that use their building skills to keep themselves hidden from predators. Not only do they create large lakes that are deep enough to give them an escape from land predators, but they also build houses that are only accessible underwater. These houses are known as "beaver lodges," and they give beavers a safe area to sleep in away from the constant threat of larger animals. 🦫 🪵

Frogs are not the most aggressive predators, but they're patient hunters that will make relentless attempts at snatching prey from above the water, which often leads to success. Frogs primarily hunt insects, yet will sometimes consume slugs, worms, and even spiders. They use their long, sticky tongues to latch onto prey before digesting it. 🐸

Persian leopards are the largest extant cat in west Asia, sometimes attaining a body mass of 90 kg. They live in rugged mountains, usually not higher than 3000 metres above sea level.
⠀
Persecution is the main threat that Persian leopards face in the Middle East, either against themselves or their main prey such as bezoar goat, urial sheep or different deer species. The main reason for direct persecution of leopards is their occasional engagement in conflict with the rural people they live alongside.

Damselflies are generally smaller, more delicate, and fly weakly in comparison with dragonflies. Their colours can be beautiful and vivid!

At just over a centimetre in diameter, Garden eels may be small compared to other species of eels, but what they lack in size they make up for in muscle. They use their strong, muscular tails to dig into the sandy seafloor then secrete a slimy mucus which acts like cement to keep its burrow from caving in. They spend the majority of their lives partially embedded in the sea floor, hiding fully in their holes when they see a predator. There can be hundreds of thousands of eels in just one colony.

Some snakes will refrain from attacking tortoises, allowing them to co-exist together. This is due to some species of snake, such as bullsnakes, recognizing that they can not digest the tortoises' hard shell. 🐢

The chinstrap penguin is a species that inhabits a variety of islands in the Southern Pacific and Antarctic Oceans. They get their name from the narrow black line under their heads, making it appear as if they're wearing a helmet.
Due to harsh terrains in the areas they live in, getting in and out of the ocean to hunt can be a very tricky task. These penguins use a combination of powerful swimming and a strategy known as "tobogganing" to return safely from the water. Mixing these two allows them to propel themselves up steep slopes and rocky terrain by using the huge waves to boost them aboveground. 🌊

Many species are adapting to and thriving in urban environments, demonstrating their insane abilities to learn and change their behaviours to survive in a different landscape.
The process of urbanization has forced many species, especially birds and rodents, to adapt to rapidly changing ecosystems. There are many examples of how they have done so successfully, with one of the major examples being animals' abilities to exploit urban resources such as food from trash or gardens. Some of these species have also recognized the harm that humans can cause and, as a result, will work to avoid them while living in the same environment. 🐦⬛️

The Highland breed of cattle has a long and distinguished ancestry, not only in its homeland of western Scotland, but also in many far-flung parts of the world. It is one of the oldest registered breeds of cattle in the world and one of Britain's oldest, most distinctive and best-known breeds. With a long, thick, flowing coat of rich hair and majestic sweeping horns, the Highlander breed has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. Although the classic image of a Highland cow today is red they also come in other shades including yellow, brindle, dun, white and also black, the breed’s original colour.

The flying lemur, or colugo, is a tree-dwelling gliding mammal found in South East Asia. While they are known as flying lemurs, they are not actually lemurs, and they also can’t fly, but instead glide! This baby would have weighed only around 35g when it was born.
