## Species Aligned With 90s Grunge & Alt-Rock

- [Carolina Wolf Spider](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/carolina-wolf-spider/) (*Hogna carolinensis*)
  - **Musical Match**: Pixies, "Gigantic"
  - **Biological Rationale**: It spins no web, and its hunting style is called sit and pursue. Gigantic runs on the Pixies' quiet verse and loud chorus: it sits still, then it charges.
  - **Superpower**: Carries its spiderlings on its back, and those that stay with her learn mazes better
- [Maned Wolf](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/maned-wolf/) (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Hole, "Celebrity Skin"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Ragged grunge grit for a hunter that rotates its large ears to find prey in tall grass, taps the ground with a front paw to flush it out, and pounces.
  - **Superpower**: Long legs to see over tall grass and large rotating ears to listen for prey in it, plus territory-marking urine that smells like a skunk to many people.
- [Northern Pike](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/northern-pike/) (*Esox lucius*)
  - **Musical Match**: Pixies, "Where Is My Mind?"
  - **Biological Rationale**: A northern pike waits in cover, cocked in an S, ready to strike. The Pixies built their sound on the quiet stretch that holds still before the loud one breaks, and Where Is My Mind? does it every chorus.
  - **Superpower**: Hides cocked in an S, then sprints to strike
- [Thorny Seahorse](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/thorny-seahorse/) (*Hippocampus histrix*)
  - **Musical Match**: Hole, "Violet"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Museums Victoria describes its spines as very elongate and extremely sharp, and adult seahorses are presumed to have few predators thanks to their camouflage and unappetizing bony plates and spines. "Violet" is all jagged edges over a fragile melody.
  - **Superpower**: Males carry the eggs in a brood pouch, where they fertilize, aerate and osmoregulate the embryos.
