The Mexican mole lizard digs intricate tunnels that run below the surface of the soil. To regulate its body temperature, the mole lizard moves to tunnels at different depths — it spends cooler mornings near the surface and as the day heats up, it moves deeper and deeper below ground.

Often described as ghostly, the elusive Japanese serow lives in the wooded mountains of central and southern Japan. Typically solitary, it stands on rocky outcrops, staring down at the landscape, for extended periods — likely watching for predators or rivals. It can be active both day and night.

A female snapping turtle will seek out a suitable nest location in the spring. She will lay between 20-45 eggs. The viability of these eggs depends on summer temperatures. If it's too cold, no eggs will hatch. If it's warm enough, the amount of heat will determines if the babies are male or female.

The willie wagtail is aggressively territorial. It's known to harass much larger birds (including eagles), venomous snakes, and humans that wander too close to its nest. Before an assault, it flares its white "eyebrows", making it look especially enraged.

While the spotted owlet is nocturnal, it can sometimes be seen during the day — it will bob its head and stare intensely at anyone who bothers it. This owlet can be located by watching for the small birds that often mob it or — during dusk and dawn — by the owlet's “chirurr-chirurr-chirurr” chuckle.

The Chinese softshell turtle uses its tubelike nostrils to "snorkel" while staying submerged beneath the water. Most turtles urinate through their cloacas, but to avoid losing water, the Chinese softshell can secrete urea from its mouth — essentially peeing via its mouth.

During mating season, male red salamanders are not aggressive towards each other. In fact, they actually court one another — this likely isn't a case of mistaken sex, but an attempt to trick rival males into wasting their sperm packets (spermatophores).

The Galápagos Penguin is one of the smallest penguins in the world and is the most northerly occurring penguin species, nesting entirely in the tropics. As there is no soft peat in which to burrow on The Galápagos Islands, they instead live in caves and crevices in the coastal lava.

The speckled mousebird hangs belly to belly with others in its flock to keep warm while sleeping. After a meal — of toxic plants, clay, dirt, and peddles — a mousebird may hang upside down, exposing the black skin of its belly to the sun in order to warm up and aid digestion.

Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, the flightless cormorant is the only cormorant that cannot fly. Instead, it is adapted to hunting in water — with larger, more powerful webbed feet, and insulating fur-like feathers. It still spends much time drying after a dive, spreading its tiny wings in the sun.

The Sumatran Short-Eared Rabbit is a rare species found at 600 to 1600 metres in the Barisan Mountains of western Sumatra, Indonesia, and surrounding areas. The local people do not have a name for it as they were not aware it even existed due to being so rare, nocturnal & living in remote forests.

A male Visayan warty pig can become four times larger than a female. During mating season, the male uses his tusks for combat and three pairs of warty growths on his face for defence — he also grows a 23 cm (9 in) long mane to attract females. The species is only found on two Philippine islands.

A sea pen may look like an underwater quill, but it's actually a colony of individual polyps — one polyp becomes the stalk of the sea pen and the bulb that attaches it to the sea floor, while the rest form feathery branches. Some sea pens have only a few polyps, while others have as many as 35,000.

Red Fox cubs are born blind & deaf at about 100g with dark gray fur that changes to brown in the first 2 weeks as their ears & blue eyes open. At 1 month, their red fur starts to come through & their eyes turn to an amber color. By 6 to 8 weeks their fur fades to red & their muzzle turns white.

The large-billed tern uses its disproportionately long and thick beak to catch fish — either by plunge-diving into the water or skimming the surface with its beak as it flies. It has a commensal relationship with the tucuxi river dolphin, which often flushes fish towards the surface while hunting.

The Greater Hog Badger is native to Northeast India/Southeast Asia and is the second largest Mustelid. Its pinkish, piglike snout and massive foreclaws both evolved to aid in feeding its worm-eating diet. Sadly, the population has decline by more than 50% over the past 15 years in Indochina.

Black Bears are highly efficient hibernators, with a lower surface to mass ratio than smaller species, enabling them to cut their metabolic rate in half. Mothers will wake up to give birth & take care of the cubs, licking them clean while giving warmth/milk & will even ingest their urine & feces.
