The Caracal feline is usually most active after sunset! And this cat likes its me-time (PREACH) — adults spend much of their days alone, hunting for birds, rodents, rabbits, and gazelles.

Howler monkeys are the loudest of all monkeys! They call to let others know where their territory is, alerting potential squatters to stay away. The calls sound like a loud whooping bark or roar. Chatty chatty! 🗣

Trying to help a dog with not one, but two muzzles will make even the most experienced rescuers nervous! #PitBullsandParolees https://t.co/8ojwKCdmEl

This pineapple sea cucumber lives in the red sea — absorbent and yellow and porous is he. If nautical nonsense be something you wish, then look no further than Thelenota ananas.

Related to sharks and rays, sawfish use their rostrums to dig under the ocean floor for crustaceans such as shrimp. They also snag other fish like herring by swiping at the prey with their spiky snouts. 🦈 #FourthOfJuly BBQ anybody?

What would happen if you crossed a bird with a frog? Well, you might wind up with something like the African jacana, which lays its eggs on floating nests. Lily pads, level up!

Pufferfish have spines on their skin & can even inflate into a ball to evade predators! Predators unfortunate enough to gobble up a puffer prior to inflation will not enjoy their snack. Most pufferfish contain a toxic substance that makes them foul tasting!

Okapis often travel by themselves, but they still have ways of communicating with others of their kind. A scent gland on each foot leaves behind a sticky substance wherever they go, leaving their personal "perfume" behind! Smell you later!

Us waking up on Monday! 

This grumpy-looking but adorable creature grows white colored tufts on either side of its face as it ages. Talk about bedhead!

The nose knows! How can you tell a crocodile from an alligator? Crocodiles have a more pointed snout, shaped like a "V." Alligators have a rounded snout, shaped like a "U." Can you tell which is which? Let us know in the comments!

When threatened, the Eurasian wryneck bends & twists its head as if compelled by witchcraft. These birds were once thought to wield magical powers! And with that voice like that, we can see one more reason why these birds are so "magical."
