    1

    Camel

    Camelus dromedarius (one hump); Camelus bactrianus (two humps)

    2

    Jackal

    Canis aureus

    A medium-sized canid of Africa and Asia — a highly adaptable scavenger and hunter that forms monogamous lifetime pairs and cooperatively raises young, serving an essential ecological role as a cleanup crew.

    3

    Mandrill

    Mandrillus sphinx

    The world's largest monkey and the most colourful mammal — males develop electric blue and red facial colouring and a brilliantly coloured rump; despite their fearsome appearance, mandrills are omnivorous and live in enormous groups called hordes.

    4

    Mussel

    Mytilus (genus, marine); Unionidae (freshwater)

    A bivalve mollusk attached to rocks and ropes by tough byssal threads — an ecologically critical filter feeder, a major sustainable seafood, and an emerging water quality indicator.

    5

    Narwhal

    Monodon monoceros

    An Arctic whale with a single long spiraled tusk — actually a tooth — that gives it the popular name "unicorn of the sea," found only in the high Arctic.

    6

    Quetzal

    Pharomachrus mocinno

    Central America's most spectacular bird — the resplendent quetzal's emerald green tail feathers can reach 65 cm and were considered more valuable than gold by the Maya and Aztec civilisations; it is the national bird of Guatemala, depicted on the flag and currency, and remains a symbol of freedom as it refuses to survive long in captivity.

    7

    Serval

    Leptailurus serval

    Africa's most successful small wild cat — a tall, long-legged cat with enormous ears and a spotted coat, capable of leaping 3 metres into the air to bat down birds in flight; it has the highest hunting success rate of any wild cat, catching prey on more than half of all attempts.

    8

    Squirrel

    Sciurus carolinensis (Eastern grey); Sciurus vulgaris (Eurasian red); many species

    A small bushy-tailed rodent of trees and parks — among the most successful suburban-adapted mammals, with hoarding behavior that accidentally plants countless trees each year.

    9

    Weasel

    Mustela (genus, multiple species)

    A small, slender, and ferociously efficient carnivore — capable of killing prey larger than itself, with seasonal coat color changes from brown to white in cold climates, distributed across most of the Northern Hemisphere.
