The Black Heron, also known as the Black Egret, is famous for its unique fishing technique called canopy feeding. This clever bird spreads its wings around its body to create an umbrella-like shade over the water. The shade attracts fish seeking refuge, making them easier to catch.

Meerkats are highly social mammals native to southern Africa, known for their teamwork and strategic behavior. They live in large groups called mobs and use a clever 'sentry system' to protect their community from predators while foraging.
