Have you ever been snorkeling and spotted Nemo darting in and out of a sea anemone?
They might look like plants or underwater flowers, but sea anemones are actually animals, closely related to jellyfish and corals!

The largest animal to have ever lived on Earth!
Even the biggest dinosaurs were smaller than the blue whale
An adult blue whale can reach over 30 metres in length and weigh up to 180 tonnes, yet it feeds almost entirely on tiny krill

Meet the Northern Pintail, a common duck you may have already seen without realising it.
They’re easy to miss because they don’t shout for attention, but once you notice the long neck and those pointed tail feathers, you start seeing them everywhere.

Do you remember Rafiki from The Lion King?
Well, he was a mandrill.
That blue and red face isn’t random. In the wild, those colours help signal status and health, especially in dominant males. Once you know that, it’s hard not to notice it.

Ever noticed a small duck with a bright blue bill and wondered what it was?
That’s a Ruddy Duck.
The blue bill shows up in males during breeding season, it’s one of the easiest ways to spot them if you know what to look for.

Have you ever been travelling and spotted a large bird flying on open ground, and assumed it was an eagle? - You’re not alone.
In much of the Americas, that bird is often a caracara.
They’re raptors, but they don’t behave like most birds of prey

We scan the stars for alien life and lose ourselves in sci-fi worlds like Avatar, imagining what extraterrestrials might look like. But you don’t need a warp drive to find one.
Some of the most alien-looking creatures on Earth, like this one:
The Saiga antelope.

Have you ever been near a pond, heard a sudden croak, and assumed it was just a green frog?
Same.
For years I thought all green frogs were basically the same animal.
Turns out, “green frog” isn’t one species at all.

If you live in the Northern hemisphere... have you seen this animal?
Meet the pine marten.
They are small forest carnivores, famous for their long bodies, bushy tails, and incredible climbing agility in trees!

Is this a..wolf? Coyote? or maybe a Wild dog?
Not quite. Meet the jackal.
Jackals are small, sharp-witted canids found across Africa and parts of Eurasia. They’re opportunists through and through: hunters, scavengers, survivors.

Is that cheetah trying to hunt?
The African savanna is full of moments like this, where predators and herbivores share the same space, constantly reading each other’s moves.
It’s one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth!

Dolphin… or something else?
Not quite. Meet the porpoise
This is a finless porpoise, one of the few cetaceans without a dorsal fin.
They’re some of the most under-the-radar whales on Earth.
And also some of the most threatened.

Fewer than 500 remain in the wild.
Critically Endangered.
Found nowhere else on the planet.
This isn’t just Africa’s most threatened carnivore , it’s the rarest canid in the world.

Meet the Red Fody!
Native to Madagascar, it has also been introduced to several Indian Ocean islands and parts of Africa.
During breeding, males become vivid red to attract mates and signal dominance
Once the season ends, they moult back into a dull brown!

Have you heard of one of the greatest migrations on Earth?
Every year, more than 2 million animals including wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, move in a vast loop across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara.
It’s literally a living system in motion!

Meet one of Australia’s most iconic backyard reptiles: the Blue-tongue Lizard.
And yes, they have a bright blue tongue.
They flash it at predators like a warning sign: bright, unexpected colour that says “don’t mess with me.”

Hawai‘i is one of the world’s most isolated island chains , thousands of kilometres from any continent.
Because of that isolation, evolution went a bit wild here. More than 90% of Hawai‘i’s native species are found nowhere else on Earth

Meet a local from Hawai‘i! The Scarlet Honeycreeper, also known as the ʻIʻiwi.
Its long curved beak fits inside the native flowers. But no its range is very limited.
Because they can’t survive malaria, and when mosquitoes were introduced, their range shrank!
