URIAL

It may be a sheep, but a urial is definitely not fluffy: its coat is short-haired and usually brown. About the size of a very big dog, it has large, forward-curving horns and a long neck ruff, or beard. It is long-legged and fast, its tail thinner and longer than those of other sheep. Early humans did not often hunt urials as game, but sheep were among the first animals to be domesticated by people.
 
Xantus Hummingbirds


Hummingbirds fly like little helicopters. They can hover, move from side to side, go straight up, straight down, and even backwards. They do all this by rotating each wing in a circle, which is similar to the way a helicopter flies. Because they can maneuver so well around other birds, they have no fear of predators. These feisty little birds will even attack eagles if their babies are in danger—and they are not too shy to pluck fuzz off our sweaters to build their nests.
