- **Polar Bear**: Arctic apex predator with hollow, see-through fur over jet-black skin, a nose that smells seals 20 miles off, and a shrinking sea of ice to swim.
- **White-Tailed Deer**: A fawn holds in its waste until its mother returns, and she swallows whatever it passes so predators find no sign of it.
