  • The Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) is a parrot native to central and eastern South America. Its length of up to 100 cm (3.3 ft) makes it longer than any other species of parrot. Photographed in the Vancouver Aquarium, 845 Avison Way, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6G 3E2 CANADA. It is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species, though the flightless kakapo of New Zealand can outweigh it at up to 3.5 kg. Habitat loss and trapping wild birds for the pet trade has ravaged their population in the wild, classifying them as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List, and it is protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

  • The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) is an aquatic frog, a member of the family Ranidae, or "true frogs". Photographed in the Vancouver Aquarium, 845 Avison Way, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6G 3E2, CANADA. (Formerly classified as Rana catesbeiana, this species has been reclassified to Lithobates due to paraphyly/branching in its Ranidae family.) This frog has an olive green back and sides blotched with brownish markings and a whitish belly spotted with yellow or grey. The upper lip is often bright green and males have yellow throats. The bullfrog is harvested as food (frog legs) in North America, where it is the largest native frog. This frog is endemic to southern and eastern parts of the United States and Canada, but has been widely introduced across other parts of North, Central and South America, Western Europe, and parts of Asia where it is often regarded as an invasive species. Bullfrogs are used in biology classes in schools for dissection and are sometimes kept as pets, which is not recommended.

These Stingrays can grow to about 14 inches in width and over 3 feet in length with tail. They are often found in groups and can be buried in the sand. The large tail spine is dangerous and can sometimes cause deadly blood loss.
