A male Crimson Sunbird briefly rests in the outskirts of Mumbai.
Despite not being closely related, sunbirds share much in common with the hummingbirds of the new world. These colourful birds mainly feed on the nectar of flowers, which they can drink while hovering in place.

The calls of these large tree kingfishers are a constant background sound during the monsoon seasons, and they can often be seen hunting small reptiles and even other birds.

The Numbat is the closest living relative of the extinct Tasmanian Tiger. Like their relative, numbats have struggled since the colonisation of Australia by Europeans, and, with a wild population of less than 1,000, it is now one of the rarest mammals on the continent.

The European Hamster was once found all the way from Belgium and the Alsace through to eastern Turkey and central Russia.
Today, the species is critically endangered, with Vienna in Austria being one of the few places these hamsters still cling on.

A male Satin Bowerbird sits inside his bower.
Male Satin Bowerbirds build and maintain a display bower to impress females. They weave sticks together to build one, and then collect and arrange as many blue objects as possible around the bower. Today this collection mostly consists of plastic rather than the flowers, shells, and berries that would once be found around a bower.

Among a family of often drab birds, the male Regent Bowerbird stands out as one of the most striking birds in Australia.
Regent Bowerbirds are some of the only animals on the planet known to use tools for decorative purposes. After creating a paint from saliva and plant matter, they use leaves like paintbrushes to spread the paint over their bower.

A Western Bowerbird carefully aranges the decorations around his bower.
Like many bowerbird species, to attract a mate the male Western Bowerbird constructs an elaborate bower of woven sticks surrounded by a collection of chosen decorative objects. For Western Bowerbirds that means collecting white rocks, white flowers and berries, and sun bleached shells and bones. He will spend a large amount of time every day carefully tending to his bower and rearranging these decorations to his liking.
