164 entriesThe seed-bearing structures of flowering plants.
154 entriesMammals and other creatures of the wild.

A sample of detailed entries across categories.
A small Bolivian rainforest fruit related to mangosteen — bright orange-red skin enclosing white, juicy, sweet-tart flesh with the citrus-tropical fragrance of its family.
VegetableA deep crimson taproot with an earthy, sweet flavor, rich in nitrates and folate; the same plant gives us chard from its leaves.
FruitA small bright-red Caribbean cherry-like fruit packed with extraordinarily high vitamin C — used in juices and supplements rather than fresh eating because of its short shelf life.
AnimalA secretive nocturnal African mammal with a pig-like snout and long sticky tongue — the only living species in its entire order, an evolutionary singleton that has changed little in tens of millions of years.
BirdThe largest flying bird by wingspan, a Southern Ocean seabird that can glide thousands of kilometers without flapping and live over 60 years.
InsectA New World ant that doesn't eat leaves — it farms fungus on them, in one of the oldest agricultural systems on Earth.
