A collection of animal species from around the world.

Red Salamander
During mating season, male red salamanders are not aggressive towards each other. In fact, they actually court one another — this likely isn't a case of mistaken sex, but an attempt to trick rival males into wasting their sperm packets (spermatophores).
Devils Hole Pupfish
The Devils Hole pupfish is perhaps the rarest fish in the world. It lives in the desert; its entire population is found in one 33.8°C (93°F) pool — mostly on a 3.5 by 5 m (11 by 16 ft) rock shelf — inside a cave in Death Valley, Nevada.
