Leopards can hear five

times more sounds

than humans,

even the ultrasonic

squeaks made by mice







Grevy's zebras are
unusual because they
do not form long
lasting bonds like the
plains zebras and
horses, instead their
groups composition
may change on
an hourly basis







The Snowy owl has
thick feathers, that
cover even their
bills and toes,
providing effective
insulation against
roaring winds and
freezing temperatures








Like human fingertips,
elephants have veins
that cover their ears, in
which allows us to
separate each individual







Gorillas are
omnivores, eating
fruits, leaves, shoots,
and sometimes insects
which make up only
1–2% of their diet
