🔵 North American Racer

The North American racer is one of North America's fastest snakes. It hunts by sight during the day and, despite their species name having "constrictor", relies on speed rather than venom or constriction to catch prey!

🟡 Greenland Shark

The Greenland shark is the longest-lived vertebrate on Earth. Some individuals may be nearly 400 years old, and they don't reach maturity until around 150 years of age, making them quite vulnerable to population declines.

⚪ Cyphonia clavata

The Cyphonia clavata is a bizarre treehopper with a strange “helmet” on its back that may mimic another insect or debris to confuse predators. They communicate via vibrations from the plant stem, and they drink their sap!

🟠 The Okapi

The Okapi may look part zebra, but it’s actually the closest living relative of the giraffe. Its striped legs help camouflage it in the rainforest. They have a very long tongue capable of cleaning their own eyes and ears!
