4 Penguin
Penguins (order Sphenisciforme, family Spheniscid) are a group of aquatic flightless birds. They live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere: only one species, the Galápagos penguin, is found north of the Equator. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white ...read more.

7 Coyote
Coyotes are canines native to North and Central America. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of environments, from forests and grasslands to urban areas. Coyotes have a similar appearance to domestic dogs but are typically smaller in size, with a bushy tail, erect ears, and a pointed muzzle. They are opportunistic omnivores, feeding on a diverse diet that includes small mammals, birds, insects, and even plants. Known for their vocalizations, coyotes communicate using a range of howls, barks, and yips. They play a crucial role in ecosystems by controlling populations of rodents and other small animals.

9 Human
Humans (Homo sapiens) are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and large, complex brains. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which bolster human society. Curiosity and the human desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated humanity's development of science, philosophy, mythology, ...read more.

10 Dog
The dog or domestic dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf, and is characterized by an upturning tail. The dog is derived from an ancient, extinct wolf, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated, by hunter–gatherers over 15,000 years ago, before the development of agriculture. Due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids. ...read more.

13 Narwhal
The narwhal is a unique and elusive cetacean found in Arctic waters. It is instantly recognizable by the long, spiral tusk that extends from the upper jaw of males, which can grow to lengths of over 8 feet. This tusk is actually an elongated tooth and is used for various purposes, including communication, sensing changes in the environment, and possibly even for hunting. Narwhals have a mottled grayish-brown skin and are well adapted to life in icy waters. They often travel in groups and feed primarily on fish and squid. Their elusive behavior and remote habitat make them a subject of fascination and scientific study.
