The Gaboon viper, Bitis gabonica, is a venomous snake known for its impressive size and striking appearance. It can grow up to two meters long and is renowned for its intricate color patterns that allow it to blend seamlessly into the leaf litter of its forest habitat. Its fangs are among the longest of any venomous snake, and its venom can be deadly to humans. Primarily nocturnal, it preys on small mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles. Although feared, it is generally not aggressive and prefers to avoid confrontation. Its presence is an indicator of healthy African forest ecosystems.

The Common European Adder is a medium-sized venomous snake, typically measuring between 60 and 90 cm in length. It exhibits variable coloration, ranging from brown to gray, with a darker zigzag dorsal stripe. Melanistic individuals are entirely black. This species is widely distributed across Europe and Asia, from the United Kingdom to the Pacific coast of Russia, and up to the Arctic Circle.

Its population has significantly declined, and it is now classified as an endangered species.

The Petrogale penicillata, commonly known as the brush-tailed rock-wallaby, is a medium-sized marsupial distinguished by its long, bushy tail resembling a brush. Native to Australia, it primarily inhabits rocky and rugged regions where it can move with agility thanks to its powerful legs and sharp claws. Its fur is generally gray-brown with lighter shades on the belly, allowing it to blend into its surroundings. This wallaby is mainly nocturnal, resting in crevices during the day. Unfortunately, it is threatened by habitat loss and predation by introduced species.

The Bennett's wallaby is a small herbivorous marsupial, 70–100 cm long and 7–20 kg, with pale grey-brown fur. It inhabits open woodlands, grasslands and scrub in southeastern Australia and Tasmania, feeding on grasses and young shoots. During the breeding season (January 1 to March 31), males establish territories and perform bipedal hopping displays to attract females.

The Elk is a large cervid primarily found in North America, in forests, grasslands, and mountains, notably in Canada and the United States. It typically measures between 1.5 and 2 meters in height at the shoulder and can weigh between 300 and 500 kg.
