Species in this vibe

Its larva jerks sand out of a pit with its head and, when hungry, sucks its prey very dry.
Arapaima
An Amazon giant that can reach three meters, breathes air through a lung-like swim bladder, and wears scale armor that resists piranhas.
Atlantic Halibut
The world's largest flatfish, and a fish that moves one of its eyes across its head.
Bigfin Squid
The deepest-dwelling squid on record, with elbow-bent arms trailing sticky filaments that may stretch up to 20 times its body length.
Black Caiman
The Amazon's largest predator and the biggest member of the alligator family, with males that grow past four to five meters.

A nonvenomous snake that stops its prey's heart from pumping, and one mother on record who had daughters with no father.
Clydesdale Horse
A Scottish farm horse first bred in the mid-1700s for heavy hauling, with males standing up to 19 hands on feathered ankles.
Coelacanth
Thought to have gone extinct over 65 million years ago, then found alive in 1938, with fleshy fins that move like a four-legged animal's legs and a pregnancy of around five years, possibly the longest of any vertebrate.
Colossal Squid
The heaviest invertebrate documented, with tentacle hooks that swivel up to 720 degrees and eyes about the size of a soccer ball.
Giant Squid
The longest cephalopod. The longest one scientifically verified measured 12 m.

A rainforest giant up to seven inches long that fights with pliers for horns, carves bark with gear-locked jaws, and turns from khaki-green to black as the air gets humid.
Kodiak Bear
Isolated on one Alaskan island chain for about twelve thousand years, with adult males weighing 600 to 1,400 pounds and standing up to ten feet on their hind legs.
Muskox
Bulls settle rivalries by charging 50 yards or more and colliding head-first on their horn bosses.
Reticulated Python
The longest python, up to 33 feet of snake with black X's running down its back in a diamond-like pattern.
Sperm Whale
Hunts on dives that routinely reach 610 meters, fires biosonar clicks up to 236 decibels underwater, and occasionally swallows giant and colossal squid.
Water Buffalo
A farm giant that can reach 1,000 kg and wallows in mud to cool off.
