Koala
Koalas have special adaptations that enable them to feast on eucalyptus leaves. Eucalyptus leaves are highly fibrous and poisonous to other animals. But koalas have bacteria in their stomachs that break down the fiber and toxic oils and allow them to absorb 25% of the nutrients.

Cougar (Mountain Lion)
The cougar, which is also commonly referred to as a puma, mountain lion or panther, is the second largest cat in North America. Unlike other big cats, however, the cougar cannot roar and instead purrs like a house cat. Cougars also have similar body types to house cats, only on a larger scale, measuring around 1.5-2.7 m (5-9 ft.) from head to tail .

Atlantic Puffin
Dubbed "sea parrots" as well as "clowns of the sea," Atlantic puffins sport large, brightly-colored beaks on their substantially-sized heads. Crisp black and white markings on their plumage have led people to compare them to penguins. However, Atlantic puffins are actually not related to penguins at all. They are in fact small seabirds that belong to the Alcidae (auk) family.
