If you live in Australia, you’ve probably seen a possum at night…
but have you seen a baby hitching a ride on its mum’s back?
Australian possums are marsupials, not rodents, and mums carry their joeys in a pouch before they start clinging on like this.

Meet the Caribbean reef octopus.
They're known to change color in 0.3 seconds and squeeze through openings the size of their beak!
They're problem-solvers & and one of the biggest octopus out there!

When people think of rattlesnakes in North America, they often imagine one species.
But the Western Diamondback rattlesnake is its own desert specialist, and one of the largest rattlesnakes on the continent, often reaching 1.5–2 metres in length.

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.

Found nowhere else on the planet.
This isn’t just Africa’s most threatened carnivore , it’s the rarest canid in the world.
