We have birds that fly 50,000 miles every year. From the antarctic to the arctic and back again. (arctic tern)
We have living creatures which never get old and never die naturally. (jellyfish)
We have animals which you can force through a sieve, and they can reassemble themselves. (sponges)
We have an ancient line of animals which once had 30 or more successful species, and has gone extinct down to just one single representative, and that representative has conquered the entire world (us).
We have horrors that look just like rocks and if you step on them your whole world becomes agonizing pain. (toadfish)
We have animals who hide inside other animals, and when you eat that animal, they enter your intestines and live there. (tapeworms)
We have plants which live on other plants and never touch the ground.
There's a fruit tree that grows around another tree, and eventually kills and replaces it. (strangler fig)
We have gliding lizards, marsupials, snakes, frogs, and rodents.
What the heck do you need fairies for?

On the North Rim of the park, you may have seen the quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), a beautiful, narrow tree with smooth white bark, "eyes" along its trunk ―and brightly colored, rounded leaves.
Often beloved for their fall colors, or for whispering sounds their leaves make in the breeze, aspens can also be a sign of hope, growing well in areas previously burned by wildfires.
