**33 species in this collection.**

- [Ruby-throated Hummingbird](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/ruby-throated-hummingbird/) (*Archilochus colubris*)
  - **Superpower**: Wingbeats over 50 times a second, and often a body-doubling, non-stop Gulf of Mexico crossing
  - **Musical Match**: Taylor Swift (2010s Pop & Electropop)
- [Saiga Antelope](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/saiga-antelope/) (*Saiga tatarica*)
  - **Superpower**: An oversized, inflatable nose that helps it breathe warm air in frosty winters and filter dust in summer.
  - **Musical Match**: The HU (Nordic & Steppe Folk Metal)
- [Sandhill Crane](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/sandhill-crane/) (*Antigone canadensis*)
  - **Superpower**: Mated pairs call in unison, a loud rattling trumpet duet
  - **Musical Match**: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell (Classic Funk, Soul & Disco)
- [Scalloped Hammerhead](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/scalloped-hammerhead/) (*Sphyrna lewini*)
  - **Superpower**: A wide, notched head with electroreceptors on its underside. It appears to sense a weak electric field no better than a sandbar shark does, but seems to give a wider search area and sharp turns at high speed.
  - **Musical Match**: LTJ Bukem (Drum & Bass / Spatial Jungle)

  - **Musical Match**: John Denver (Pastoral Folk & Progressive Bluegrass)
- [Swordfish](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/swordfish/) (*Xiphias gladius*)
  - **Superpower**: A heating tissue in one of its eye muscles that warms the brain and eyes up to 10 to 15 degrees C above the water, one adaptation that lets it swim in depths where the water may be just above freezing
  - **Musical Match**: Squarepusher (Drum & Bass / Precision Jungle)
- [West Indian Manatee](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/manatee/) (*Trichechus manatus*)
  - **Superpower**: Marching molars that are constantly replaced, new teeth forming at the back of the jaw and moving forward about a centimeter a month.
  - **Musical Match**: Grover Washington, Jr. & Bill Withers (Jazz-Funk, Soul & Lounge Fusion)
- [Western Grebe](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/western-grebe/) (*Aechmophorus occidentalis*)
  - **Superpower**: A neck structure, found among grebes only in it and Clark's grebe, for rapid spear-like thrusting of the bill
  - **Musical Match**: Bee Gees (70s Pop & Glam Disco)
- [Yellowfin Tuna](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/yellowfin-tuna/) (*Thunnus albacares*)
  - **Superpower**: Warm swimming muscle: a heat exchanger holding a 10 degrees C temperature difference would typically double the muscle's peak power
  - **Musical Match**: Anna Meredith (Post-Rock & Cinematic Orchestral)
