White shark
Eli is always been intrigued by this apex predator. Out lived many species but still we don't know a lot about them. Scientists may even find it as source to curing cancer. Its survival, predatory skills and secret of its longevity are just a few to admire about this species.

I chose this one because I'm exploring using collections and communities to share local biodiversity and use that as a way to improve the content on EOL.

This collection of online identification guides helps everyone in my family have a better sense of what we've been looking at when we are outside. We also like that it is an international collection and we look forward to watching it grow. Let the Identification Resources Group who manages the collection know about your favorite online identification guides.

Sunbittern
Katja loves sunbitterns: elusive, stunningly beautiful, and way out there on an isolated branch of the tree of life. I've seen them several times in the Amazon, but only briefly and from far away.

Image of Cyanocorax chrysops
Cyndy has always been a fan of Cyanocorax (in translation, "blue raven"), a genus of usually colorful neotropical jays. Some of them sport fancy hairdos like this one.

Animalia > Psittacidae
Cockatiel
These clever ground-feeding birds make wonderful pets. Best to feed them from a flat plate, preferably when you eat as they like to be part of the family. If you're a cockatiel owner, or a parrot breeder more generally, drop Bob Corrigan a note on his profile.
