Titan triggerfish is a large species of triggerfish that belongs to the family of balistidae. Triggerfish are seen in the Indo-West and Central Pacific region, southwestern to north-western Western Australia, the central coast of New South Wales, and the Great Barrier Reef. This fish is easily found singly or in pairs protecting their areas over slopes of deep lagoons and seaward reefs. Juveniles are mainly found close to isolated patches of branching corals over protected shallow, sandy areas of reefs. The titan triggerfish is diurnal and solitary.

They are called mustache triggerfish as they have black markings above the mouth that look like a mustache. Its body is heavily scaled and is generally green to dark grey in color, with yellow or green fins with black tips, and a lower jaw, dark grey or purple in color. In Thailand, the fish are predominantly yellow in color.

Although it will sometimes eat smaller fish, the titan triggerfish is not solely a piscivore. Instead, its primary diet consists of several species of echinoderms, crustaceans, mollusks, tube worms, and living coral. They have powerful sharp teeth. The titan triggerfish uses its powerful bite to break pieces off and crush them to extract the meat. These are the workers of the reef, often busy turning over rocks, stirring up the sand, and biting off pieces of branching coral. This activity often stirs up nearby coral parts and small organisms, allowing other fish to feast on the leftovers.

While individuals have been observed in the wild eating juvenile crown-of-thorns starfish, sea urchins seem to be the favored target, including the various long-spined, somewhat venomous Diadema species. The titan gets past their defenses by seizing the tips of the spines in its mouth and flipping the urchin upside down. This exposes the relatively unprotected underside of the urchin so the titan triggerfish can dig the meat out of the spiny shell.

The diet of the titan triggerfish makes its impact on the reef rather neutral, for while it feeds on the corals and tube worms of the reef itself, it also feeds on other reef predators and helps to keep their populations in check.

They have independently rotating eyes, and their pelvic fins are fused into a single spine.

They have 2 dorsal fins, the first of which is comprised of 3 spines, and this is where the triggerfish derives its name. The spine is also held erect as a warning to other fish to stay away. If this warning is ignored, they are known to charge at anything and anyone. At night or when threatened, the fish will wedge itself into a coral crevasse and erect its dorsal fin wedging itself in tight. The first spine is locked in place by the second spine and once that's in place, the fish is virtually immovable, resulting in the titan triggerfish not being considered an easy meal. Although not much is known about what in particular preys on titans, one thing is for sure, they can defend themselves quite well.

The triggerfish search for mating partners and are known to do mating dances with the chosen one. Both sexes will vigorously protect the nesting area. While nesting or not, the male is usually aggressive and can attack unprovoked; a female guarding her nest can be equally aggressive. They will deftly defend the nest even against intruders much bigger than themselves. The territory around the nest is roughly cone-shaped and divers who accidentally enter it may be attacked. The threat posture includes the triggerfish facing the intruder while holding its first dorsal spine erect. It may also roll onto its side, allowing it a better look at the intruder. Their bites can cause serious infection as they contain a natural poison called Ciguatoxin. The titan triggerfish will not always bite but can swim at snorkelers and divers escorting them out of their territory.

Sexually distinctive, the titan triggerfish will lay eggs that are fertilized externally. Eggs are laid after some preparation of the nest. They create a depression in the sand of the chosen nesting area by fanning it with their caudal and dorsal fins. Titan triggerfish spawn for about 4 days a month. The male will guard the nest and blow water over the eggs, ensuring a good supply of fresh water and oxygen. Once the larvae hatch, they will swim away, presumably into the protection afforded by the coral reef. Early on in the life cycle, zooplankton will be the source of nourishment until such time as the juvenile has matured enough to take on other delicacies of the coral reef.

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.

Harris's hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), formerly known as the bay-winged hawk or dusky hawk, and known in Latin America as peuco, is a medium-large bird of prey that breeds from the southwestern United States south to Chile, central Argentina, and Brazil.

The Harris's hawk is notable for its behavior of hunting cooperatively in packs consisting of tolerant groups, while other raptors often hunt alone. Harris hawks' social nature has been attributed to their intelligence, which makes them easy to train and has made them a popular bird for use in falconry.

The diet of Harris's hawk consists of small creatures including birds, lizards, mammals, and large insects. Harris's hawks hunt in cooperative groups of two to six. This is believed to be an adaptation to the lack of prey in the desert climate in which they live. Because it often hunts in groups, Harris's hawk can also take down larger prey. In one hunting technique, a small group flies ahead and scouts, then another group member flies ahead and scouts and this continues until the prey is bagged and shared. Harris's hawks will often chase prey on foot and are quite fast on the ground and their long, yellow legs are adapted for this. Groups of Harris's hawks tend to be more successful at capturing prey than lone hawks.

Harris's hawks are permanent residents and do not migrate. Harris's Hawks occur in semiopen desert lowlands—often among mesquite, paloverde, saguaro, and organ pipe cactus. They also frequent urban and suburban areas because these areas offer easy access to water and food (pigeons).

This species occurs in relatively stable groups. A dominance hierarchy occurs in Harris's hawks, wherein the mature female is the dominant bird, followed by the adult male and then the young of previous years. Groups typically include from 2 to 7 birds. Not only do birds cooperate in hunting, but they also assist in the nesting process. They nest in small trees, shrubby growth, or cacti. The nests are often compact, made of sticks, plant roots, and stems, and are often lined with leaves, moss, bark, and plant roots. No other bird of prey is known to hunt in groups as routinely as this species.

No accounts show predation on adults in the United States and Harris's hawk may be considered an apex predator. The Harris's Hawk isn't threatened by too many natural predators. They may fall prey to Great-horned Owls or the occasional coyote, and ravens may try to steal eggs or young from nests. But because they live in family groups, they have many eyes looking out for predators, which helps everyone stay safe.

Since about 1980, Harris's hawks have been increasingly used in falconry, They are one of the easiest to train and the most social. The ability of the Harris hawk to coordinate as a group to drive their prey into a trap demonstrates their intelligence and co-dependency; they are quick to learn and, therefore, easy to train. It is a combination of these factors that make the Harris hawk an excellent choice for the falconer and - therefore - the most popular bird of prey used in UK falconry today. Trained Harris's hawks have been used to remove an unwanted pigeon population from London's Trafalgar Square, and from the tennis courts at Wimbledon. Trained Harris hawks have been used for bird abatement by falconers in the United States at various locations including resorts and industrial sites.

The roadrunners (genus Geococcyx), also known as chaparral birds or chaparral cocks, are two species of fast-running ground cuckoos with long tails and crests. The roadrunner generally ranges in size from 56 to 61 cm from tail to beak. The average weight is about 230–430 g. They are found in the southwestern and south-central United States and Mexico, usually in the desert. Some have been clocked at 32 km/h while a few have also been clocked up to 43 km/h.

The roadrunner usually lives alone or in pairs. Breeding pairs are monogamous and mate for life, and pairs may hold a territory all year. The roadrunner's nest is often composed of sticks, and may sometimes contain leaves, feathers, snakeskins, or dung. It is commonly placed 1 to 3 meters above ground level in a low tree, bush, or cactus. Roadrunner eggs are generally white. The greater roadrunner generally lays 2–6 eggs per clutch, but the lesser roadrunner's clutches are typically smaller.

The roadrunner is an opportunistic omnivore. Its diet normally consists of insects (such as grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, and beetles), small reptiles (such as lizards and snakes, including rattlesnakes), rodents and other small mammals, spiders (including tarantulas), scorpions, centipedes, snails, small birds (and nestlings), eggs, and fruits and seeds like those from prickly pear cactuses and sumacs. The lesser roadrunner eats mainly insects. The roadrunner forages on the ground and, when hunting, usually runs after prey from undercover. It may leap to catch insects, and commonly batters certain prey against the ground. Because of its quickness, the roadrunner is one of the few animals that preys upon rattlesnakes, it is also the only real predator of tarantula hawk wasps.

Known to most of the world simply as a cartoon character, roadrunners are a remarkable desert specialist. They can spend an entire lifetime without drinking, obtaining all their water from their food, and can hunt and breed year-round in temperatures reaching 50°C.
