Giant Oceanic Manta Ray
Mobula birostris
FishThe giant oceanic manta ray is the largest ray species in the world, with a wingspan that can reach up to 7 meters across. Despite its enormous size, it feeds exclusively on some of the ocean's smallest organisms, filtering huge volumes of zooplankton through specialized gill plates as it swims.

Red-Bellied Piranha
Pygocentrus nattereri
FishThe red-bellied piranha is one of the most notorious freshwater fish in the world, native to rivers and floodplains across the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South America. Despite its fearsome reputation, it is primarily a scavenger and opportunistic feeder, and unprovoked attacks on humans are extremely rare.

Seahorse
Hippocampus kuda
FishThe seahorse is one of the ocean's most distinctive fish, with an upright, horse-like body shape unlike almost any other fish species. Rather than swimming powerfully, it drifts through seagrass beds and coral reefs, anchoring itself in place with a flexible, prehensile tail wrapped around plant stems or coral.

X-Ray Tetra
Pristella maxillaris
FishThe X-ray tetra is a small freshwater fish native to slow-moving rivers and streams in South America, named for its almost completely transparent body that reveals its skeleton and internal organs. Its see-through appearance has made it one of the most recognizable and popular small fish in the freshwater aquarium hobby worldwide.

Yellowfin Tuna
Thunnus albacares
FishThe yellowfin tuna is a large, fast-swimming fish found in tropical and subtropical waters across the world's oceans, prized both as one of the ocean's most powerful predators and as one of the most commercially important fish species for human consumption. Its name comes from the bright yellow coloring of its dorsal and anal fins, which become especially long and dramatic in mature adults.

Zebra Danio
Danio rerio
FishThe zebra danio is a small freshwater fish native to streams and rice paddies across South Asia, named for the five uniform, horizontal blue stripes running along its silvery body. Beyond its popularity as an aquarium fish, it has become one of the most important model organisms in modern biological and medical research.

Zebra Shark
Stegostoma tigrinum
FishThe zebra shark is a docile, bottom-dwelling shark of the Indo-Pacific, named for the dark stripes seen in juveniles that fade into a spotted pattern as adults.
