It has white wings with black rims and veins, with red accents on the edge of the hindwing cells. Like many swallowtail butterflies, it has ‘tails’ extending from the hindwings. The body of the Malabar rose is black, with red stripes around the abdomen. Males and females look similar, though the female’s forewings are slightly larger with more visible patterns. The wingspan of the Malabar rose is 9cm to 13cm.

It inhabits the semi-arid savannahs and shrublands of the Sahel and Sahara. The oval carapace is brown to beige in colour, the scutes darken towards the edges and show grows rings. Superficially, males and females look alike except for slight differences in the scutes on the plastron (the 'belly' of the carapace), though males can achieve greater sizes than females.

The Tamworth is an English breed of the domestic pig (or Sus domesticus). The exact time and location of its origin are unknown, though it is assumed to have originated at the beginning of the 19th century near the town of Tamworth in England. Wild boars were used in the development of this breed, making the Tamworth a strong and hardy pig. Tamworth pigs have a distinct red colouration uniformly across their body, with no markings. They have a muscular and long body, and relatively long legs.

The spectacled flying fox (or Pteropus conspicillatus) is a species of megabat that lives in the tropical rainforests and mangroves of New Guinea, as well as Northern Queensland in Australia.

It has large, black wings, pointed ears, and big round eyes. Its snout is long and ends in a blunt nose.

The fur of the Tasmanian devil is black, with reddish brown fur on the tail and muzzle, and a white crescent-shaped marking running across the chest and shoulders. This species is sexually dimorphic, with males being larger and heavier than females.

The lar gibbon (or Hylobates lar), also known as the white-handed gibbon, is a primate that lives in the rainforests of Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. The fur of this animal can vary from dark brown to ginger, tan, or cream in colouration. Its face is black, with a distinct white ring of hair around it. Its hands and feet are also white. Male and female lar gibbons look alike, have a head-body length of 42cm to 59cm, and weigh between 4kg and 7.6kg.

Their legs and antennae are black, and their body is black with white spots. Monarch caterpillars have a plump body covered with yellow, black and white stripes.

The siamang (or Symphalangus syndactylus) is a species of gibbon living in the rainforests of the Malay Peninsula and Indonesian island of Sumatra. Their body is covered in all-black shaggy fur, which is thinner and grey on their faces. Siamangs have very long arms - their arm span approximately measuring twice their body length, short and sturdy legs and no tail. One of their most prominent features is the throat sac under their chin, which inflates during their distinctive vocalisations. Typically, siamangs are 75cm to 100cm tall and weigh between 10kg and 13kg.
