  • Snail (Helix engaddensis) crawls on a rock. Helix engaddensis is a species of snail common in the Levant, both in Mediterranean, desert and montane climates. It is smaller than the closely related European Garden snail and usually lighter in color. H. engaddensis goes through estivation. It is dormant in the ground during the dry season and emerges after the first rains (in late autumn). Mating takes place soon after emerging. The snails are active through winter (except in high montane regions, where they might be forced into a somewhat unnatural hibernation) and return to an inactive state at the end of the wet season (midspring). Photographed in Israel in December

  • Cone shell. Shell of a Mediterranean cone snail (Conus ventricosus) on the beach. Cone snails are highly venomous, predatory, marine gastropods that capture their prey using a long, harpoon-like, modified tooth (radula). The harpoon is launched out of the mouth on an extendable proboscis, and injects a powerful neurotoxin (venom), which instantly paralyses the victim. The sting of small cones is not fatal to humans, but that of some of the larger, tropical species, such as the Textile cone (Conus textile), can be. Some cone snail neurotoxins (conotoxins) have pain relieving properties that may provide a non-addictive painkiller (analgesic), 1000 times as powerful as morphine.

  • purple dye murex (Bolinus brandaris) (Gastropod) on a beach in Israel, a sea snail. Murex was at one time greatly valued as the source for purple dye. It discharges a purple ink from the hypobranchial gland in the mantle cavity as a smoke screen, from behind which it can flee. The Phoenicians, centred on Tyre, gathered the snails, crushed & boiled them with salt for several days to extract the ink. The liquid was allowed to cool & over a period of time the colour changed for yellow to green to blue & then a rich purple. The extraction of the ink & the manufacture of purple cloth made Tyre a household word in the past.

  • American robin (Turdus migratorius [Here as Turdus minor]) This bird is common throughout North America, living in Woodland as well as in more built up areas. It tends to breed and nest in the more northern parts of its range, migrating south during the winter. As well as worms, it eats slugs, snails, insects and fruits, preferring to feed on the ground. It may reach around 25 centimetres in length. It is not a true robin but a member of the thrush family. From the book Histoire physique, politique et naturelle de l'ile de Cuba [Physical, political and natural history of the island of Cuba] by  Sagra, Ramón de la, 1798-1871; Orbigny, Alcide Dessalines d', 1802-1857 Publication date 1838 Publisher Paris : A.

  • Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus). This large, gregarious relative of the seal has tusks that can reach a metre in length. Both the male (bulls) and female (cows) have tusks; the bulls use them in displays and fights when competing for dominance and access to cows. Both males and females use tusks to haul themselves onto ice or to create breathing holes. The walrus has inflatable pockets on either side of its oesophagus which it can fill with up to 50 litres of air for buoyancy. It dives to the ocean floor to feed on mussels, crabs, snails and starfish. The Atlantic walrus is found in two separate areas to the east and west of Greenland. Photographed in Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway

  • Sarus crane (Grus antigone syn Antigone antigone) standing. This is the world's tallest flying bird. Males can stand 1.8 metres tall and have a wing span of 3 metres. There are three subspecies of G. antigone in India, southeast Asia and in Australia. It feeds on bulbs, vegetation, insects and snails. The birds mate for life and perform jumping dances and unison calls to one another. The nest is usually a mass of plant matter on swampy ground. Two eggs are laid, which are guarded by the male and incubated by the female for about one month. 18th century watercolor painting by Elizabeth Gwillim. Lady Elizabeth Symonds Gwillim (21 April 1763 – 21 December 1807) was an artist married to Sir Henry Gwillim, Puisne Judge at the Madras high court until 1808. Lady Gwillim painted a series of about 200 watercolours of Indian birds. Produced about 20 years before John James Audubon, her work has been acclaimed for its accuracy and natural postures as they were drawn from observations of the birds in life. She also painted fishes and flowers. McGill University Library and Archives
