Meet Brachytrachelopan mesai, the dicraeosaurid from Late Jurassic of Argentina. Its neck being 2-3 m long, making it the shortest neck out of any sauropod, its total length was about 10 - 11 m from snout to tail, with a height of 2m at the hips and it could have weighed as much as 5 t in body mass.

When threatened, the initially inconspicuous oriental fire-bellied toad will rear up into a defensive posture to show off its fiery, black and red underside. If this display doesn't work, it fully flips onto its back—conveying to the predator, with its striking colours, that its skin is toxic.

Don't let the sloth bear's name and dishevelled appearance fool you; this insect-eating bear can outrun a human, swim skillfully, and climb trees competently—it even stands its ground against predators like tigers. A mother will travel with her cubs on her back—the only bear to routinely do so.

Summer Tanagers are often out of sight, foraging high in trees, sometimes flying out to catch insects in flight. They mainly eat insects, especially bees and wasps, and berries. Fruit of Annonaceae are an especially well-liked food in their winter quarters and will forage in human-altered habitat
