Saigas with their bizarre proboscis noses have a funny and original appearance. This unusual nasal structure with two large heart-shaped nostrils plays an important role in the animals' adaptation to harsh steppe conditions. In winter, the saiga's nose warms cold air before it enters the lungs, and in summer it effectively filters dust, allowing saigas to thrive in dusty steppe landscapes.

The Pied-billed Selenider is a bird whose sounds are more reminiscent of the croaking of a frog rather than the melodious singing characteristic of most birds.
These colorful and unusual birds demonstrate a very inventive approach to finding a mate. During courtship, they throw ripe fruits at each other.
Due to the relative fragility of the beak, these birds are not able to independently build their own nesting sites. Instead, they prefer to occupy abandoned other people's homes, lining their bottom with soft blades of grass and settling down there for their own pleasure.
The swordtail is a small bird, about 1.5 inches long, with a long beak that allows it to obtain nectar from hard-to-reach flowers.
This bird lives in the mountainous regions of South America, in countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.
It feeds primarily on nectar from long tubular flowers and insects for protein.
Moles are small burrowing mammals known for their velvety fur and powerful shovel-like feet that help them dig through soil. Moles spend most of their lives underground, digging long and complex tunnels in search of food such as worms and insects.
Fun fact: Moles can dig up to 5.5 meters per hour, making them incredibly efficient diggers!
🦤 Australian pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus), one of the largest flying birds in the world. The wingspan is 7.5 to 8.5 feet (2.3 to 2.6 m) wide and the body length is 5.2 to 6.2 feet (1.6 to 1.9 m). It also has the longest beak of any bird in the world. This pouch hanging from their beak may look like it's being blown by the wind, but it's actually part of their courtship display during mating season.

SEAL
The northern fur seal is a social animal that prefers to live in groups and form large aggregations during the breeding season.
🦭Thanks to their unique structure, northern fur seals are able to move rapidly both in water and on land. They also have excellent vision, both above and below water, and can go months without coming ashore.
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.
