  • Scientists have found the humble Anna's Hummingbird to be the fastest animal on the planet!  At only four-inches long, this hummingbird flies at 385 "body lengths a second" which is faster than a fighter plane with its afterburners on – 150 "body lengths a second" - and the space shuttle during atmospheric re-entry (207 body lengths a second).

  • A boisterous New Zealand sea lion pup invites play by snapping its teeth then darting away.  Playful interactions are theorized to serve a role in honing a young animal’s stress response, as well as fostering brain growth.  But the hours spent exploring the ocean come at a cost – squid trawling nets and plastic pollution increasingly threaten this endangered species.

  • The Antarctic Blue Whale is the largest animal in the world, weighing up to 400,000 pounds and reaching up to 98 feet in length.   A calf surfaces to spout while the mother accompanies it.  As autumn descends, the blue whales leave the cooling Antarctic waters and journey north in search of warmer feeding grounds.  Here they are passing through Kaikoura, New Zealand.

  • Praying Mantis.  The Phylum Arthropoda is the largest group of organisms on Earth.  They tend to have a segmented body and jointed legs.  This body plan of repeating parts and appendages means that parts can be modified in different species to perform different functions. For example, a praying mantis has raptorial forelimbs it uses to catch and hold prey, while the hind legs are used for standing and walking.  Arthropods are the Swiss Army knives of the animal kingdom.

  • Rays are one of the only fish species on earth to demonstrate self-awareness via a mirror test.<br />
<br />
Giant manta rays have been filmed checking out their reflections in a way that suggests they are self-aware. Only a small number of animals, like great apes and bottlenose dolphins, have passed the mirror test.
