The banded flutterer dragonfly is found along the north and east coasts of Australia as well as Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia. They prefer still or slow-running waters, and glide or flutter their wings slowly. They can change speed and direction suddenly when flight.
Rhyothemis graphiptera (Banded Flutterer)
The mantis shrimp is a crustacean with a flattened, segmented body and praying mantis-like claws. It burrows within muddy flats along the shoreline of the middle and lower Chesapeake Bay. Mantis shrimp eat live fish, crabs, worms and shrimp, including other mantis shrimp. They are aggressive, violent predator, using their sharp claws to spear or slice through prey with a quick, slashing motion.
Mantis Shrimp (Squilla empusa)
The wild turkey is the the same species as the domestic turkey, a large poultry bird that was domesticated by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica at least 2,000 years ago. Turkey meat is a popular form of poultry, and domestic turkeys are raised throughout temperate parts of the world as livestock.
Meleagris gallopavo (Wild turkey)
The species, also known commonly as a clown featherback fish, occurs in Thailand, Lao PDR, Viet Nam, and Cambodia. It has been introduced to Myanmar and the Philippines for aquaculture. Juveniles are popular in the aquarium trade and large fish are popular for public aquaria. In some parts of the Philippines, its introduction is wreaking havoc on the local fishing industry.
Chitala ornata (Clown knifefish)
A waterbird species found in coastal northern Australia. The adult Magpie goose has black and white feathers, a long neck and a cranial knob (smaller in females). They also have orange legs with partly webbed feet, and a red beak with a white hook on the end which assists them in probing for food. The Northern Territory holds the largest populations and breeding areas of the Magpie goose with an estimated population of over 2 million individuals.
Anseranas semipalmata (Magpie Goose) 2
The black sea urchin, also called a long-spined sea urchin, is the most abundant and important herbivore on the coral reefs of the western Atlantic and Caribbean basin. When the population of these sea urchins is at a healthy level, they are the main grazers which prevent algae overgrowth of the reef.

The Atlantic Bumper is a game fish found from Massachusetts to Florida in the Western Atlantic Ocean. They eat smaller fish, cephalopods, and zooplankton.
Chloroscombrus chrysurus (Atlantic Bumper)
The lined seahorse lives in the Atlantic Ocean as far north as Canada and as far south as the Caribbean, Mexico, and Venezuela. It swims in an erect position and uses its dorsal and pectoral fins for guidance while swimming. Lined seahorses feed mainly on minute crustaceans and brine shrimp, which they suck in through their snout.
Hippocampus erectus (Lined Seahorse)
The northern kingfish or northern kingcroaker, is a species of marine fish in the family Sciaenidae (commonly known as the
Menticirrhus saxatilis (Northern Kingfish)
Mnemiopsis leidyi is a species of tentaculate ctenophore originally native to the western Atlantic but is now invasive in the Black, Caspian, North and Baltic Seas
