Species in this vibe

Pride king, 114-decibel territorial roar carrying three miles, and cooperative savanna hunt apex.
Dhole
A whistling, clucking wild dog that hunts in packs and can catch prey more than ten times its own weight.

The Ethiopian highland monkey that grazes mainly on grass, flashes a bleeding-heart chest patch, and rolls its lip back to bare its gums in a facial display no other primate can make.

Waits in shallow water, then strikes with a rapid thrust of the bill
Narwhal
Deep-diving Arctic whale whose spiral tusk can grow up to 9.8 feet and may double as a sensory tool.

North Island Brown Kiwi
A flightless night forager with its nostrils near the tip of its bill and an egg that averages 15 percent of its mother's weight.
