The Barrier Reef is a tough place to live, even for a shark. Extreme tides and high temperatures leave the reef as a series of rockpools at low tide. Bigger sharks are forced into deeper water, leaving the Epaulette shark alone to exploit the riches of the reef undisturbed. Unlike any other shark, the Epaulette has an uncanny ability to walk. It uses its fins as prototype legs to crawl over the exposed reef between rockpools that contain its prey. But no shark can breathe out of water. This is not a problem for the epaulette shark though, as it can survive 60 times longer without oxygen than humans can! In order to do this the little shark slows its breathing and heart rate and powers down its brain. These incredible physiological changes mean the Epaulette shark has more time to hunt on the reef before the tide rises and the bigger sharks move back in. This shark is truly the master of the intertidal environment.

The South American population of this species migrates in large numbers, though no one yet knows where those birds spend the winter.
Very little is known about where and why birds migrate at tropical latitudes, as well as what the risks to survival are during such movements.
Increasing threats to these birds' survival, such as urbanization, hunting and pesticides, combined with a lack of information about their annual cycle.

The Namaqua sandgrouse (Pterocles namaqua), is a species of ground-dwelling bird in the sandgrouse family. The Namaqua sandgrouse can be found in various arid parts of South Africa and its neighbouring lands. Namaqua Sandgrouse is nomadic in the desert, semi-desert, and arid savanna.

Seeds are the main staple of the Namaqua sandgrouse, which forages over large areas. The bird prefers seeds high in protein, like legumes, picking them off the ground with its short bill. It feeds in the daylight hours and rests in the shade of a bush during the extreme heat of midday. The bird will sometimes eat plant material and insects or molluscs that happen to be on plants, and occasionally grit to help grind down seeds in the gizzard.

A dumpy, short-legged, pigeon-like bird that shuffles awkwardly on the ground and flies in a fast and direct manner, singly or in groups. It has a long, pointed tail and sharply-pointed wings. The male has a pair of black-and-white bands across the chest and has a plain buffy face and head; the female is mottled with black, brown, and white. There is a dense layer of under down which helps insulate the bird from extremes of heat and cold.

The feathers of the belly are specially adapted for absorbing water, retaining it and acting like a sponge. On very hot days, parents fly to water bodies that may be many miles away from watering holes. After drinking, soak their belly, and quickly return to the nest to cool the eggs or provide water to waiting chicks. The chicks suck up water like a goat kid drinks milk from mother’s udders. The amount of water that can be carried in this way is 15 to 20 millilitres.

Sandgrouses are gregarious, feeding in flocks of up to 100 birds. As a consequence of their dry diet, they need to visit water sources regularly. When drinking, water is sucked into the beak, which is then raised to let the water flow down into the crop. By repeating this procedure rapidly, enough water to last twenty-four hours can be swallowed in a few seconds. As they travel to water holes, they call to members of their own species and many hundreds or thousands synchronize their arrival at the drinking site despite converging from many different locations scattered over hundreds of square miles of territory. Namaqua sandgrouse birds communicate through a far-carrying call which is a musical 'kelkiw-wyn'.

Sandgrouse travels tens of miles to their traditional water holes and tends to disregard temporary water sources which may appear periodically. This clearly has a survival value, because a dried-up water source in an arid region could result in dehydration and death.
They are vulnerable to attack while watering but with a large number of birds milling about, predators find it difficult to select a target bird and are likely to have been spotted before they can get close to the flock. The sandgrouse tends to avoid sites with cover for mammalian predators and their greatest risk is usually from predatory birds. When faced with danger, this bird escapes by jumping from the ground directly into the flight.

Breeding takes place at any time of the year and is dependent on rainfall. Usually, the nests are solitary but sometimes several pairs of birds choose sites near each other. The nest is a scrape in the earth, scantily lined with dried plant material. Two or three pinkish-grey eggs with brown markings are laid over the course of a few days. Incubation starts after the last egg has been laid and lasts about 22 days. The female does the incubation by day and the male does a longer shift at night, starting about two hours before sunset and finishing two hours after dawn. The chicks are precocial and able to leave the nest on the day they are hatched. The male brings them water absorbed on the specially adapted feathers of his breast. The chicks grow rapidly, they are fully feathered at three weeks and able to fly at six.

The species is common within its range and is considered to be of Least Concern by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The birds are at risk of predation by mongooses while they are young. Sheep farmers kill birds of prey and jackals to protect their flocks and this may have resulted in an increase in the mongoose population and consequently a diminution in the number of sandgrouse chicks that survive. Other predators that prey on the Namaqua sandgrouse include eagle and falcon.

Costa's hummingbird (Calypte costae) is a bird species in the hummingbird family Trochilidae. It breeds in the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts of California and Arizona. While it naturally occurs in the western United States and Mexico, it is known to wander towards the east and north as far as Alaska and Canada. It leaves the desert at the peak of summer and moves to chaparral, scrubs, or woodland habitat.

This species is very small, a mature adult growing to only 7.6–8.9 cm in length, a wingspan of 11 cm, and an average weight of 3.05 g for males and 3.22 g for females. The male Costa’s Hummingbird has mostly green upper parts, its back, sides, and belly. It has an iridescent violet crown and white patches under its gorged throat and tail. The throat patch extends to the sides of the throat. Its wings are small and have black tails and wings. Its vibrant purple cap and throat, with throat feathers flaring out and back behind its head, is cited as its most remarkable feature. The female, which is comparably larger in size, is not that remarkable as male. It has a greyish-green crown and back, and a white belly and breast. Its flanks are ‘buffy’ and the tips of its outer tail feathers are white. Sometimes, its throat has some dark feathers. The juvenile Costa’s Hummingbird closely resembles the adult female, with tray-buff edging on the feathers of the upper body. Also, instead of having a singly rounded tail, juvenile Costa’s Hummingbird has a doubly rounded tail.

Like all other hummingbird species, Costa's hummingbird feeds on flower nectar and any tiny insects that it happens to find in the flower petals. At flowers, usually feeds while hovering. They would visit desert natives like agave, chuparosa, desert honeysuckle, and fairy-duster. To catch small insects, may fly out and capture them in midair, or hover to pluck them from foliage.

The male Costa's hummingbird's courtship display is a spirited series of swoops and arcing dives, carefully utilizing a proper angle to the sun to show off his violet plumage to impress prospective mates. Males perform a looping dive display to entice females to mate with them and also to threaten intruding hummingbirds. They fly straight towards the female, make several loops around her and then fly straight up into the air, returning in a broad U-shaped dive. During the dive, they sing a high-pitched whistle. They continue to loop around and perform dives for the female without pause, sometimes for up to 4 minutes, but usually, the display lasts for about 35 seconds. If that was not enough to attract the female’s attention, they also hover directly in front of her with their gorget flared.

One male may mate with several females. Nest site is in rather open or sparsely left shrub or small tree, sometimes in yucca or cactus, usually 2-8 feet above the ground. Placed on a horizontal or diagonal branch. The female constructs a small cup-shaped nest out of plant fibers, down, and at times spider silk, coated with lichen to hold it together. The nest is situated on a yucca stalk or tree limb. The female lays just two eggs, which are white in color, which she will incubate for 15 to 18 days before the young hatch. The young leave the nest after 20 to 23 days. Amazingly, the mother Costa can survive without water throughout the nesting period. Egg and nest predation is the major source of mortality at most sites. Important predators are snakes, small mammals, jays, orioles, and lizards. Adults may be preyed on by Greater Roadrunners and thrashers.

All hummingbirds have a super-fast metabolism and can die quickly if their body temperature isn’t maintained. In the desert at night, the temperatures sometimes dip low. They have a special adaptation called Torpor, a semi-hibernation-like state which allows the body temperature to reduce and the heart rate to slow to 50 beats per minute. A normal heartbeat is 500 to 900 beats per minute. Slowing down their metabolism in this way allows these birds to survive the cold nights.

The Costa’s Hummingbird has a ‘Least Concern’ status under the IUCN Classification System. The IUCN says that the species appears to have a stable population trend and a very large range, which signifies that it does not approach the thresholds for vulnerability. Of all the states in the US where the Costa’s have been observed, only New Mexico has listed the species as threatened.

The most serious threat to the species is loss of habitat, primarily coastal scrub and Sonoran desert scrub. A lot of these areas have been converted for human uses, such as agriculture and residential development.

The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) is a medium-sized spotted wild cat that reaches 40–50 cm at the shoulders and weighs between 8 and 15.5 kg. It is native to the southwestern United States, Mexico, Central, and South America, and to the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Margarita. Both sexes become sexually mature at around two years of age, they can breed throughout the year, though the peak mating season varies geographically. After a gestation period of two to three months, the female gives birth to a litter of one to three kittens. They stay with their mother for up to two years, after which they leave to establish their own home ranges.

The word "ocelot" comes from the Aztec word "tlalocelot," which means field tiger, according to the San Diego Zoo. Ocelots are also sometimes called painted leopards, because of their markings and dwarf leopards, because of their markings and their size. However, ocelots are only distantly related to true leopards or tigers. Leopards and tigers are members of the Pantherinae (roaring cats) subfamily, and ocelots are in the Felinae (small cats) subfamily.

The ocelot inhabits tropical forests, thorn forests, mangrove swamps, and savannas. They prefer habitats with good availability of prey and water and tend to avoid other predators. The ocelot favors areas with dense forest cover and water sources, far from roads and human settlement, avoiding steep slopes and highly elevated areas due to lack of prey. In areas where ocelots coexist with larger predators such as the cougar and human beings, they may tune their active hours to avoid them, and seek dense cover to avoid competitors. The ocelot can adapt well to its surroundings. The ocelot shares a large part of its range with the jaguar, jaguarundi, margay, oncilla, and cougar.

Typically active during twilight and at night, the ocelot tends to be solitary and territorial. During the daytime, it rests on trees, in dens below large trees, or other cool, sheltered sites on the ground. It is agile in climbing and leaping, and escapes predators by jumping on trees. The ocelot scent-marks its territory by spraying urine. The ocelot can be aggressive in defending its territory, fighting even to death.

Ocelots have been observed to follow scent trails to acquire prey. An ocelot typically prefers hunting in areas with vegetation cover, avoiding open areas, especially on moonlit nights, so as not to be seen by the prey. As a carnivore, it preys on small terrestrial mammals such as rodents, lagomorphs, armadillos, opossums, and also fish, insects, reptiles, and small birds. They also take to the trees and stalk monkeys or birds. Unlike many cats, they do not avoid water and can swim well.

Throughout its range, the ocelot is threatened by loss and fragmentation of habitat. The habitat is often fragmented into small pockets that cannot support ocelots well, leading to deaths due to starvation. Traffic accidents have emerged as a major threat over the years as ocelots try to expand beyond their natural habitat to new areas and get hit by vehicles. In the Atlantic Forest in northeastern Argentina, it is affected by logging and poaching of prey species.

Twice the size of the average house cat, the ocelot is a sleek animal with a gorgeous dappled coat. The fur trade was a flourishing business in the 1960s and the 1970s that resulted in severe exploitation of felids such as the ocelot and the jaguar. In the 1960s, ocelot skins were among the most highly preferred in the US, reaching an all-time high of 140,000 skins traded in 1970. This was followed by prohibitions on the commercial trade of spotted cat skins in several range states such as Brazil and the US, causing ocelot skins in trade to plummet. In 1986, the European Economic Community banned the import of ocelot skins, and in 1989, the ocelot was included in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. However, hunting of ocelots for skins has continued and is still a major threat to ocelot survival.

Another threat has been the international pet trade, this typically involves capturing ocelot kittens by killing their mothers, these cats are then sold to tourists. Though it is banned in several countries, the pet trade survives, in some areas of Central and South America ocelots are still sold in a few local markets.

Ocelot hunting has been banned in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname, Trinidad, and Tobago, United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela; regulations have been placed on hunting in Peru. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and The Nature Conservancy are among the agencies actively involved in ocelot conservation efforts, such as the protection and regeneration of vegetation in the Rio Grande Valley.

The Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus) is also known as the Etruscan pygmy shrew and the white-toothed pygmy shrew. Etruscan shrew belongs to the class of Mammalia, similar to animals like dolphins and humans. The Etruscan shrew is the smallest living mammal. These species are often found in Europe and North Africa up to Malaysia. They are also found in the Maltese islands, situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Although widespread and not threatened overall, they are generally uncommon and are endangered in some countries.

The Etruscan shrew usually inhabits open terrains where grasslands and scrub meet deciduous forests. Etruscan shrews aren’t very good at digging, so they like making their nests in various natural shelters, crevices, and others' uninhabited burrows. If another animal has vacated their burrow, an Etruscan shrew will take advantage of the situation and move in. They frequent rocks, boulders, stone walls, and ruins, darting quickly in and out between them. The Etruscan shrew prefers warm and damp habitats covered with shrubs which is helpful for the shrew to hide from predators.

A unique aspect of Etruscan shrews is their skull size that's the smallest among mammals. The Etruscan shrew has a body length of about 4 centimeters. The body mass of individuals ranges from 1.6 to 2.4 g. They have poor eyesight but they have acute hearing, highly sensitive whiskers, and an amazing sense of smell, indeed, their long tin noses are mobile and can move about quite sinuously.

Being a small animal, it has slender body features with a relatively large head and hind limbs. Their ears are protuberant and large. Their fur color is pale brown on the back and light gray on the stomach. These shrews also have a fast heart beating rate along with a relatively large heart muscle mass.

This species has the highest mass-specific metabolic rate of all mammals. It must eat up to twice its own body weight every day to keep its small body warm. It feeds on various small vertebrates and invertebrates, mostly insects, and can hunt individuals of the same size as itself. It finds its food by smell and touch. It kills its prey with its poisonous bite and eats it immediately, but takes small insects back to its nest. The shrews are more active during the night

The Etruscan shrew is not only the smallest mammal but also one of the fastest and most tactile hunters.

They only eat live food which they catch and they catch between 20 and 30 prey animals a day. This becomes more impressive when one considers that they eat insects (which have wings and are sometimes bigger than the shrew) as well as spiders and myriapods which are armed with terrible stings and venoms. The shrew dines also on amphibians, baby rodents, worms, and larvae.

While The Etruscan shrew may turn out to be fatal for an insect's or animal's body. The shrew venom is not dangerous to humans. However, The Etruscan shrew shrew bites may result in swelling, pain, and body temperature.

They also eat plants like shrubs in damp areas. These small animals are constantly searching to find food throughout their lives to meet their high energy consumption demands.

They protect their territories by making chirping noises and signs of aggressiveness.

The Etruscan shrew has various ways to communicate; when they defend their territories, the shrew makes chirping noises and becomes aggressive towards intruders. When the Etruscan shrew is in torpor, and if suddenly awakened, it starts with its harsh shrieking sounds. in fact, the Etruscan shrew makes such noise only when it's unable to flee those areas.

Etruscan shrews are solitary animals who like living alone. Their mating system is the only way the shrews get to meet each other.

Etruscan shrews mate primarily from March to October, though they can be pregnant at any time of the year. Pairs usually form in the spring and may tolerate each other and their young for some time at the nest. The gestation period is 27–28 days, and they have 2–6 cubs per litter. Cubs are born naked and blind, weighing only 0.2 g. After their eyes open at 14 to 16 days old, they mature quickly. The mother usually moves the young when they are 9 to 10 days old, and if disturbed, she relocates them by leading them with her tail in a train-like formation, with each cub biting the tail of the one in front. The young Etruscan shrews are weaned at 20 days old. By three to four weeks of age, the young are independent and are soon sexually mature.

The largest threat to Etruscan shrews originates from human activities, particularly the destruction of their nesting grounds and habitats as a result of farming. Etruscan shrews are also sensitive to weather changes, such as cold winters and dry periods. Major predators are birds of prey.
