The African Savannah Elephant is the largest land mammal, and the largest of all terrestrial animals. It can stand up to 4 meters tall at the withers and weigh between 4,000 and 7,500 kg. Its coat is gray, with rough skin often covered in dust or mud to protect it from the sun and parasites. The African Savannah Elephant is easily recognizable by its large ears, shaped like the map of Africa, which help regulate its body temperature. This elephant is primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, bark, fruits, and plants. It inhabits savannas, grasslands, and open forests across sub-Saharan Africa. The African Savannah Elephant is a social animal, living in family groups led by an older female. It plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by creating openings in vegetation and dispersing seeds. However, the species is threatened by habitat loss, poaching for its valuable tusks, and conflicts with human communities. The African Savannah Elephant is currently listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The northern elephant seal is a large marine pinniped, with adult males measuring 3–4 m in length and weighing 1800–2500 kg, and females reaching 2–2.5 m for 400–900 kg. It inhabits sandy beaches and coastal islands of the North Pacific, alternating long foraging trips at sea feeding on squid and fish with land phases at breeding sites. During the breeding season (December to January), males establish harems, produce deep bellows and engage in spectacular fights for female access, while females dig shallow nests and give birth to a single pup.

Large marine mammal in the family Phocidae, reaching up to 3.5 m in length and 600 kg in weight. It inhabits Antarctic and subantarctic coastal waters, feeding mainly on fish, cephalopods and juvenile seals.

The vaquita is a small porpoise (1.3–1.5 m, 40–60 kg) endemic to the Upper Gulf of California, with pale grey-blue skin and rounded head. Critically endangered, it uses echolocation to hunt fish and shrimp in turbid, shallow waters (<30 m). Fewer than 10 remain due to bycatch in gillnets and illegal fishing.

The Fossa fossana, also known as the Malagasy civet, is a small carnivorous mammal endemic to Madagascar. It is characterized by its grey-brown fur with black spots, which provides excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. Measuring about 50 cm in length, with a tail almost as long as its body, the Malagasy civet is primarily nocturnal. It inhabits the island's humid forests, feeding on small animals, insects, and fruits. Although often confused with the fossa, another Malagasy carnivore, the Malagasy civet belongs to a different family. Its population is threatened by deforestation and hunting, leading to its classification as near threatened by the IUCN.

The False killer whale is a large cetacean belonging to the dolphin family, known for its resemblance to the orca. However, unlike the orca, the false killer whale generally lives in warmer waters and is more discreet. It primarily feeds on fish, squid, and small marine mammals.
