Species in this vibe
Blue Sea Dragon
Air-bubble buoyancy, blue-and-silver countershading, and a sting borrowed from the Portuguese man o' war.
Brazilian Wandering Spider
A web-less wandering spider of south-eastern South America that hunts among the vegetation after dark, throws its front legs up when threatened, and carries venom packed with peptides that jam ion channels.
Budgerigar
The nomadic outback parrot that rewrites its own call to match a brand-new mate.
California Sea Lion
Males bark like dogs, and a mother can find her pup among hundreds by its call.
Canada Goose
North America's most widely distributed goose, with Hawaiian relatives that included a flightless giant over four times larger than the nene.
Common Hermit Crab
A scavenger that lives in an empty sea snail shell and raps on rivals' shells to try to take over better ones.
Cottonmouth
A swamp pit viper that warns with a wide-open white mouth and hunts on land and in water.
Volta Electric Eel
The biological super-battery that hit 860 volts, the strongest electric discharge known from any living animal.
Fennec Fox
The largest ears of any canid for its size, used to shed desert heat and track down prey under the sand.
Great Cormorant
A fish-chasing diver with wettable feathers, which has to hang out its wings to dry.
Muskrat
A marsh rodent that builds its home from piled-up plants and eats about a third of its own weight every day.
Peacock Spider
The Australian jumping spider whose males unfurl a peacock-style fan and send vibrations through the ground to win over a female.
Pileated Woodpecker
A crow-sized woodpecker that chisels rectangular holes into trees to reach the ants inside.
Sandhill Crane
A red-capped crane that duets with its mate and sleeps standing in the shallows.
Sea Otter
The densest fur of any mammal, a rock tucked under one arm, and a keystone predator that stops urchins from overgrazing kelp forests.
Wild Turkey
Gobbles heard up to a mile away, flight at up to 54 mph
