If you’ve seen a “magpie” in Australia, Europe, or Southeast Asia, you might assume they’re all related. They’re not.
True magpies belong to the genus Pica and a few close corvid relatives.
Others are completely different birds!

If you’ve seen a hoopoe in Europe, Africa, or Madagascar, you might think it’s the same bird.
It’s not.
There are actually three species in the genus Upupa, and they’re easy to mix up.

Did you know Cedar Waxwings can get drunk?
Sometimes they eat overripe, fermenting berries… and yes, they can become intoxicated.
They also share food during courtship, passing berries back and forth as part of pair bonding!

This may look like a starfish.
But this is a brittle star. No central brain. No single point of control. Each arm makes its own decisions.
They can regenerate entire limbs, move with snake-like precision, and literally sacrifice arms to escape predators.

“Boring. Just another crab,” you might be thinking.
You’ve seen them a hundred times.
But have you really?
This one’s a hermit crab... and fun fact: it’s not a true crab at all. It’s closer to lobsters than what most people picture as a “crab.” 🦀

But there isn't only one type, there a hundred of species living across Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.
They rebuild forests, support entire ecosystems, and quietly shape the landscapes we depend on.

Have you ever had tequila? Well, you can thank this guy right here: fruit bats.
This one’s a flying fox, one of the biggest bats on Earth. They pollinate agave, spread seeds, and keep tropical forests alive… mostly while being unfairly blamed for everything.

Tigers once roamed across huge parts of Asia. Today, their habitat has been broken into small, isolated pockets. Many Forests cleared. Prey lost. Conflict with humans rising.
What remains is a fraction of what they once had.

Did you know Bengal tigers almost disappeared entirely?
By the mid-1900s, hunting and habitat loss pushed them to the edge. In some regions, they were effectively gone.
After decades of conservation effort, they’re still endangered. But they’re here, slowly recovering.

The Arctic may look empty, but wolves, foxes, whales, seals, birds, even sharks live here, all adapted to ice, darkness, and long winters.
It’s not a lifeless place. It’s just quiet.

Most people think a reindeer is just a reindeer. But across the Arctic, they’ve evolved into multiple distinct types.
Same species but different bodies, behaviors, and habitats.

Did you know that reindeers are the only mammals that can see ultraviolet light??
In the Arctic, where snow reflects UV and predators don’t, this lets reindeer spot food, tracks, and danger in a world that looks completely white to us.

• New Zealand giraffe weevil: related, but evolved separately, with a longer snout instead of a true neck
