The Burrowing owl, and other assorted owl types, including the cryptic Bay owl.
Owls!! Part II.
King Cobra.
The largest venomous serpent in the world. Measuring in at up to lengths of over 19 feet….a rather formidable individual.
Serpents, Huge.
The Anaconda, and the Reticulated python, the largest {by weight} and longest snakes on the planet.
Owls!!
Your Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, and Flammulated Owl. Stoic defiance. And defiant stoicism.
Marabou Stork!!
This massive, vaguely sinister bird oft seems to be pondering disastrous scenarios for those located anywhere nearby. According to Wikipedia, “It is sometimes called the “undertaker bird” due to its shape from behind: cloak-like wings and back, skinny white legs, and sometimes a large white mass of “hair”.”
Postscript: We are proposing the inclusion here of the closely related Greater Adjutant stork.
Lepidoptera.
The Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, the Blue Morpho, and the Mourning Cloak. Not necessarily in that order. Also! The Buckeye, and the Pipevine Swallowtail.
Vehicles, Fast.
1970’s Maserati and Ferrari. And the Lamborghini Countach. And, Aventador. And 1963 Corvette. And, the Jaguar XKE.
