Felsentaube

Among the world's most successful birds, rock pigeons are native to sea cliffs and caves of Europe, North Africa, and South Asia but have been domesticated for thousands of years and introduced globally to every urban center on Earth. Their exceptional homing ability — navigating thousands of kilometers using magnetic fields, sun position, and landmarks — has made them vital military messengers and racing sport birds. Today, feral populations inhabit every major city worldwide.

Tiger

The largest wild cat on Earth, tigers can exceed 300 kg and inhabit forests from the Russian Far East to Southeast Asia. Solitary ambush predators with distinctive orange and black striped coats that provide camouflage in dappled light. Critically endangered, with fewer than 4,000 remaining in the wild due to poaching and deforestation.
