A massive aquatic rodent — North America's largest rodent — that fundamentally reshapes landscapes through dam-building, creating wetlands that support biodiversity and modern landscape restoration efforts.

The largest cat in the Americas and the third-largest in the world, a powerfully built ambush predator with the strongest pound-for-pound bite force of any big cat.

The national animal of Pakistan — a large wild goat of the Himalayas and Hindu Kush with spectacular spiral horns that in old males can reach 160 cm; the horns spiral outward in a tight corkscrew, unique among wild goats; the markhor lives on vertiginous cliff faces inaccessible to most predators and is revered in the region — its Farsi name means "snake eater," though it does not actually eat snakes.

A large, prehistoric-looking mammal from South America and Southeast Asia with a short prehensile trunk — one of the oldest surviving large-mammal body plans on Earth, more closely related to horses and rhinos than to pigs.
The largest cat species, an apex predator with distinctive orange-and-black stripes, native to Asian forests, grasslands, and mangroves.
The ancestor of the domestic pig — a powerfully built, tusked omnivore with coarse grey-black bristles that has recolonised much of Europe and Asia; a major game animal, agricultural pest, and ecological engineer whose rooting transforms forest floors.
