Stingrays are a group of sea rays, a type of cartilaginous fish. They are classified in the suborder Myliobatoidei of the order Myliobatiformes and consist of eight families: Hexatrygonidae, Plesiobatidae, Urolophidae, Urotrygonidae, Dasyatidae, Potamotrygonidae, Gymnuridae and Myliobatidae.

Dragonflies eat other insects, such as flies, midges and mosquitoes. They will also take butterflies and even smaller dragonflies. Prey is normally caught in mid-air, with the dragonfly using its long legs to catch its quarry. the food will them be carried to a perch where it is eaten.

An interspecies friendship is a nonsexual bond that is formed between animals of different species.[1] Numerous cases of interspecies friendships among wild and domesticated animals have been reported and documented with photography and video.[1] Domestication of animals has led to interspecies friendships between species that would never naturally exist together. In many cases of interspecies friendship, the species are not normally seen together, and sometimes, one is of a species that ordinarily preys on the other in nature.[2]

Each eye has a scaly lid shaped like a cone, with only a small, round opening in the middle for the pupil. The chameleon can rotate and focus its eyes separately to look at two different objects at the same time! This gives it a full 360-degree view around its body.

Very striking and noticeable, Red-striped Oil Beetles, or Blister Beetles as they are also known, are large beetles that can reach a length of around 6 cm. The basic ground colour is black and each body segment has a red or orange stripe crossing it. The legs are positioned towards the front of the beetle’s body, leaving the rest of its bulk unsupported, which means the cylindrical abdomen has to be dragged across the ground. Although there are tiny elytra on the thorax, the beetles are unable to fly.

Marine life, sea life, or ocean life is the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in the salt water of seas or oceans, or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. At a fundamental level, marine life affects the nature of the planet. Marine organisms, mostly microorganisms, produce oxygen and sequester carbon.

Play is a very important part of the feline world and kittens need the opportunity to play in order to learn vital adult skills both for communication and for hunting. From a very early age, they play with their littermates and with objects that they find in their environment. Indeed, play provides the ideal opportunity for kittens to investigate the world around them. Young kittens play using chasing and pouncing behaviors that seem to have their origin in predation.

Stag beetle, (family Lucanidae), any of some 900 species of beetles (insect order Coleoptera) in which the mandibles (jaws) are greatly developed in the male and resemble the antlers of a stag. In many species the elaborately branched and toothed mandibles may be as long as the beetle itself. If handled carelessly, their pinch can draw blood from a person. In some cases, however, the mandibles are large enough to be a handicap to the beetle’s movement. Female stag beetles are usually smaller than the males, with smaller mandibles that are much more powerful than the males'.[3] As larvae, females are distinguished by their cream-coloured, fat ovaries visible through the skin around two-thirds of the way down their back. The Most Expensive Insect in the World

Closterotomus norvegicus (also known as the potato capsid) This plant bug has a long oval, green body with long antennae and hind legs. Males develop orange coloration as they mature.The Common Capsid is a very similar green bug but, the key to positive identification of the Potato Capsid lies in the two brown dots on the pronotum region just behind the head.however the two spots on the pronotum can be frequently absent, similarly the dark markings at the top of the scutellum.Specimens from northern Britain may have brownish-black markings.

Frugivores are animals that eat fruits. There are many insects that eat fruit including beetles, aphids, some butterflies, maggots, hornets, wasps, some flies, and others. These insects often feed on very ripe or decaying fruit. Fruit provides insects with an excellent source of carbohydrates and other nutrients.

Female kangaroos sport a pouch on their belly, made by a fold in the skin, to cradle baby kangaroos called joeys. Newborn joeys are just one inch long (2.5 centimeters) at birth, or about the size of a grape. After birth, joeys travel, unassisted, through their mom’s thick fur to the comfort and safety of the pouch. A newborn joey can’t suckle or swallow, so the kangaroo mom uses her muscles to pump milk down its throat. At around 4 months, the joey emerges from the pouch for short trips and to graze on grass and small shrubs. At 10 months, the joey is mature enough to leave the pouch for good.

Pinnipeds, commonly known as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semi-aquatic, mostly marine mammals. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae, Otariidae, and Phocidae, with 34 extant species and more than 50 extinct species described from fossils.

Birds feed their young by regurgitation. In this process, the parent bird eats and partially digests a protein-rich meal. Then the parent returns to the nest and brings the partly digested, soft food back out of its stomach and feeds it to the young in small amounts. Allofeeding is a type of food sharing behaviour observed in cooperatively breeding species of birds. Allofeeding refers to a parent, sibling or unrelated adult bird feeding altricial hatchlings, which are dependent on parental care for their survival.

A mother's love needs to be given unconditionally to establish trust and emotional intimacy in a child's life. A mom's love is all about being intentional.

Snails will eat almost any plant, but they are especially fond of the tender foliage of young plants and leafy crops such as lettuce or hosta. Their presence is indicated by missing seedlings or large, irregularly shaped holes on leaves or fruits. They may also leave shiny slime trails across leaf surfaces.

Scavengers eliminate harmful substances from the environment, mitigating the spread of disease that may otherwise impact not only local food webs, but potentially human health and the economy.

Whales are the largest animals on Earth and they live in every ocean. The massive mammals range from the 600-pound dwarf sperm whale to the colossal blue whale, which can weigh more than 200 tons and stretch up to 100 feet long—almost as long as a professional basketball court. Whales are warm-blooded creatures that nurse their young

As scavengers, they eat dead animals, removing them from roadsides and other areas. Vultures not only cut down on the number of rotten, smelly carcasses but also reduce the spread of diseases. Vultures, which exclusively eat dead animal carcasses, are particularly effective at removing pathogens and toxins in the environment because they rapidly consume carrion before it decays, and their stomachs contain an incredibly potent acid that destroys many of the harmful substances found in dead animals.

Mosquitoes are small, flying insects known as vectors (living things that carry diseases between animals and humans). Vectors often carry infections through blood.

A butterfly pupa, also called a chrysalis, forms a cuticle that encloses its head and body to shield against extreme temperatures, parasites, and drying out. Many moth species wrap themselves in a silk covering, called a cocoon, for the same kind of protection. Pupa don't move or eat. They use stored energy to transform at the cellular level. During this process, called metamorphosis, body tissue breaks down and reforms as wings, legs, and other adult parts.

Others believe that seeing a peacock dance means the monsoon will follow. This is actually true – the monsoon is also the time peacocks flick up their tails and do a shimmy for attracting a mate. Seeing a peacock dance is an experience each Indian should have. The bird lifts its tail to form a fan. Coincidentally, the mating season and the rainy season coincide, and this gives the appearance that peacocks are dancing in the rain or indicating the onset of the rainy season. When a male courts a female, he spreads out his tail feathers to display his colors and eyespots fully for her to see.

Woodpecker, any of about 180 species of birds that constitute the subfamily Picinae (true woodpeckers) of the family Picidae (order Piciformes), noted for probing for insects in tree bark and for chiseling nest holes in deadwood. Woodpeckers occur nearly worldwide, except in the region of Australia and New Guinea, but are most abundant in South America and Southeast Asia. Most woodpeckers are resident, but a few temperate-zone species, such as the North American yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) and the flicker (genus Colaptes), are migratory.

Baby monkeys, like human babies, are referred to as infants. Monkeys, being primates, are most closely related to humans than most other animals species, so human terminology is more often applied to them.

The axolotl is a paedomorphic salamander closely related to the tiger salamander. It is unusual among amphibians in that it reaches adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis. Instead of taking to the land, adults remain aquatic and gilled.

The life of a monkey is full of ups and downs. Like us, monkeys form strong friendships and bitter rivalries. They fight for each other and take care of one another. And the leader of a monkey troop, when deposed, will even exhibit signs of depression. When we watch their behavior we get the sense that their emotional lives may share something in common with our own.
