About Arabian Oryx Calves: In the quiet shade of desert shrubs, two young Arabian oryx rest and explore their surroundings. One calf stands alert, ears lifted and eyes watchful, while the other settles comfortably in the grass. Though still small, both carry the promise of the elegant form their species is known for: long, straight horns and a bright white coat that reflects the intense desert sun. The Arabian oryx is a remarkable antelope native to the deserts and semi-arid plains of the Arabian Peninsula. Perfectly adapted to life in extreme heat, these animals can survive long periods without direct water, gaining much of the moisture they need from the plants they graze. Their pale coats help reflect sunlight, while darker markings on the face and legs protect sensitive skin and reduce glare. Calves are usually born after a gestation period of about eight to nine months and can stand and follow their mothers within hours of birth. In the wild, young oryx remain close to the herd, where group living offers protection from predators and the challenges of desert life. // Image Credit: Wolf, Joseph, and Philip Lutley Sclater. 1861.

The Satyr tragopan (Tragopan satyra) is a strikingly colorful pheasant species found in the Himalayan forests of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of Tibet. Males are especially eye-catching, with vivid red plumage, speckled with white spots, and inflatable blue facial skin and lappets used in courtship displays. Females are more cryptically colored in brown and black, providing excellent camouflage in the undergrowth. These birds inhabit temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, typically at elevations between 2,400 to 4,200 meters. They are ground-dwelling and feed on a varied diet of seeds, berries, shoots, and insects. Satyr tragopans are known for their shy and elusive nature, often remaining hidden in dense vegetation.

If you didn't already know, there are three species of zebra: Grevy's zebra (the ones features in this puzzle), Plains zebra and Mountain zebra. They are primarily found in various regions of Africa and inhabit grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands. They are herbivores, primarily grazing on grasses and sometimes leaves and shrubs. Zebras are best known for their striking black and white striped patterns. The exact purpose of zebras' stripes has been the subject of scientific study and debate. While the definitive answer is still not entirely clear, several theories exist. Some theories say that they are used for camouflage, some for thermoregulation and others for protection from insects. An interesting fact is that, just like human fingerprints, each zebra's stripe pattern is unique to the individual.
