Great blue herons are common in most of North and Central America as well as near the coasts and wetlands of the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. The blue heron is the largest North American heron, usually up to 1.37 meters from head to tail and weighing about 6.3 pounds. This newborn blue heron looks like a dinosaur from the Jurassic period.
A small crocodile decorated with butterflies.
Generally a crocodile will not allow you to rest on its head and facial area. But butterflies seem to be an exception. As you can clearly see, crocodiles are very happy with these winged insects, allowing them to rest in the area of their skulls. Usually, crocodiles have two special moves, which are a powerful bite and a death roll. In special cases, the crocodile may think that the addition of butterflies makes him look more "pretty."
Small ocelots stare down at the camera. They have excellent vision (adapted for night vision) and hearing, used to detect prey

In 1930, Roland, a 1.8-ton elephant seal, enjoyed a snow bath from his handler at the Berlin Zoo
Even the 1.8-ton walrus is also happy to take a bath. This was the case for Roland, who enjoyed a snow bath with his trainer at Berlin Zoo. Roland is known for his gelatinous proportions, bizarre chin and tree trunk-like nose.
Roland lived at the Berlin Zoo from the late 1920s until his death during World War II . I'm sure Roland's funeral would have required at least a dozen pallbearers. Roland was so beloved at the Berlin Zoo that they created a monument to him that included a bronze cast of his beloved elephant seal's face.
It's called the Ghost Glass Frog because it can so well mimic the color of any leaf it sits on
Stop staring at me! You kind of scare me.
This amphibian is called the ghost glass frog because it can mimic the color of any leaf it sits on for an uncanny effect of camouflage. Luckily, it's perched on lots of green leaves - so it retains its frog-like color. Male ghost glass frogs are very territorial and will fight for the perfect leaf to mate with. You can find these crafty little guys throughout Central and South America. But for the most part, don't get into a staring contest with a ghost glass frog, as you'll definitely lose.
An Australian green tree frog hitches a ride on the back of an African turtle
On the one hand, I marvel at the sight of an Australian green tree frog hitching a ride on an African spiny turtle.On the other hand, I feel like the Australian green tree frog is purely exploiting the African spiny turtle, using it as a means of transportation. Do African spiny turtles have a say in this situation? Aren't frogs famous for "jumping"? This overturned my understanding of frog intelligence.
The African tortoise is the third largest turtle species in the world and can live to be over 70 years old.
The tiny blue-ringed octopus is widely regarded as one of the most venomous animals in the world. They are found in tide pools or coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans from Japan to Australia.
Why are some of the coolest-looking creatures of the ocean depths — also the deadliest? This blue-ringed octopus lives in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans. It is also the most venomous animal in the world.
Their venom contains the powerful neurotoxin tetrodotoxin, which can cause systemic paralysis. If the victim comes into contact with the venom, they won't even have time to send out a distress call.
Despite its small size and beauty, the blue-ringed octopus carries enough venom to kill 26 adults in a matter of minutes.
Contrary to popular belief, chameleon does not change color depending on its position. Color change is just one of their ways of communicating.
Although chameleons are commonly believed to change color to camouflage themselves to their surroundings - this is actually a form of communication and serves to regulate body temperature.
Male chameleons light up to show their dominance and darken during aggressive confrontation. Additionally, because chameleons cannot regulate their own body temperature, they turn dark to absorb more heat and pale to reflect the sun.
Narwhals are sometimes called "unicorns of the sea" because of the long tusks on their heads. Drone footage of wild narwhals shows the whales using their tusks to hunt fish.
Narwhals have two big things happening to them. First of all, they are called "unicorns of the sea" because of their long tusks that protrude from their heads. Secondly, tusks are more than just an ornament. Sure, it's cool to have a long fang sticking out of your head, but the fangs are for fishing.
The narwhal is a medium-sized toothed whale that lives in the Arctic waters around Greenland , Canada and Russia. It weighs 1.9 tons, can grow up to 5.2 meters long, and has a lifespan of up to 50 years. The data for ocean unicorns is impressive.

Nile crocodiles hatch from egg-sized eggs
Despite starting small, crocodiles can grow to 4.5 meters. Chickens hatched from eggs of the same size are only a few dozen centimeters. This may be the difference between prehistoric creatures and evolved creatures.
Female octopuses can lay up to 100,000 eggs. She guarded the eggs obsessively, even stopping eating until they hatched.
Octopus eggs don't come into the world in droves. Instead, a mother octopus collects her floating eggs—and then strings them together. The clustering process takes more than a month.
Unlike the human world, octopus mothers put all their energy into taking care of their eggs, and usually die of exhaustion after the eggs hatch. So, once baby octopuses are introduced to the world - they are almost entirely on their own...

Selfie with a lion
First of all, these people who think they are secretly connected to lions, grizzly bears, or any other animal higher on the food chain - are kind of idiots. These animals are a completely different species - they would eat you for lunch if given the chance.
Zookeeper Kevin Richardson (pictured above taking a selfie with the lion) has also been criticized by the conservation community - he says his lion "walking" is risky because of the unpredictability of wild big cats. One reason is our place in the food chain. For example, in 2018, a young woman was mauled to death by a lioness in Richardson's care at Dinokan Game Reserve.
