An inhabitant of many places in North America, a bird from the cormorant family.

Against the background of a dark color, areas of bare skin around the eyes and at the base of the beak, painted in a bright orange color, stand out sharply. Eared cormorants, inhabitants of the coastal zone of inland water bodies, where they settle in large colonies and build their nests directly on bare ground.
The lifestyle of eared cormorants and their habitats also imply the composition of their main diet, which includes: a variety of fish, insects, crustaceans and amphibians.

European Buzzard or Honey Buzzard 🦅
The honey buzzard's diet consists of wasp, bee and hornet larvae, as well as other insects, small reptiles and mammals. The bird will directly attack and forage from wasp and bee nests, and will also use its strong paws and claws to loosen the soil and dig up grubs, beetles and termites.
Waxwings come to us in winter to feast on rowan berries.
These bright, plump birds live in flocks. In summer they feed mainly on insects, and in winter they switch to a diet of berries and fruits.
The mourning eagle is a large bird, measuring approximately 80 cm in size with a wingspan ranging from 147 to 180 cm.
🌳This is a skilled hunter who chooses an ambush site on a hill and patiently waits for his prey, as other large representatives of the hawk family do. It then quickly attacks its prey in a diving flight. In addition, this eagle hunts by soaring above the forest and making sudden maneuvers in the treetops.
This bright bird is called the Red Cardinal.
Males are very easy to distinguish from females. Male red cardinals are dressed in
bright red plumage with black faces and red beaks. Females are much more modestly colored - they have brown-gray plumage for better camouflage.
Red cardinals are songbirds, but females sing more variedly.
Cardinals are primarily found in the southeastern part of North America. They have adapted perfectly to city life and are often found in city parks.
Pika cubs are born in nests of grass and leaves hidden among stones. These tiny, fur-covered bundles are very dependent on their mothers for warmth and food.
An interesting fact about pikas is that they have a unique way of storing food: they collect and dry vegetation in the summer to create a "haystack" that they can eat in the winter, ensuring they have an abundance of food when it's cold and snowing.
Fossa cubs are born in the dense forests of Madagascar, where they are initially tiny, blind, and completely dependent on their mother. Over the first few weeks, they slowly open their eyes and begin to explore their surroundings. As these playful and curious cubs grow, they develop the agility and hunting skills that will make them one of Madagascar's top predators. Despite their small size at birth, fossa babies will eventually grow into agile hunters, capable of climbing trees and hunting lemurs, demonstrating a remarkable transformation from vulnerable newborns to powerful predators.

A breed of domestic cows bred from zebu animals, originally from India.
A cow's camel-like hump at the withers, although fleshier, also contains fat that the body can use in difficult times, and long skin on the neck and large ears are needed to better dissipate heat and cool down in hot weather. 😉

Aggressive, strong and very fast 💪🏼
The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is a species of primate from the subfamily of slender-bodied monkeys in the family Apes.
Distributed exclusively on the island of Kalimantan (Borneo), where it inhabits coastal regions and valleys.
The most striking feature of the proboscis whale is its large, cucumber-like nose, which only males have.
Proboscis monkeys live in forests and are active during the daytime. They spend the night and morning resting, and their peak activity occurs in the afternoon or evening.
The food of proboscis monkeys consists mainly of leaves and fruits. In small quantities they also feed on plant flowers.
Tigresses are able to conceive offspring only 4-5 days a year.
During this period, they try to mate as many times as possible. Pregnancy lasts 3 months, and one litter usually contains 2–3 tiger cubs.
White leaf-nosed bats are completely harmless bats. They feed on the fruits of the fig tree and fly out of their shelter only at night. Leaf-noses are so named because of their unusual nose shape. If you look at this bat up close, it looks like there is a yellow leaf stuck to its nose! 🍁
