Trivia:
Adélie penguins hunt and forage to get food. They have a diet of mainly krill and fish.

The chinchilla has the densest fur of all currently exisiting land mammals, with around 20,000 hairs per square centimeter and 50 hairs growing from each follicle.

The leaf slug is also known as sea sheep or leaf sheep. Leaf slugs "are capable of a physiological process called kleptoplasty, in which they retain the chloroplasts from the algae they feed on. Absorbing the chloroplasts from algae enables them to indirectly perform photosynthesis."

Although their typical lifespan is considerably shorter, ravens can live more than 23 years in the wild.
 
Switch up the pairings and I'd have voted for Chill Penguin.

As it stands...

What are birds?
We still don't know but we do know that Paul finds them aesthetically pleasing.

Trivia:
The quokka is known to live for an average of 10 years.

The orchid mantis is one of several species known as flower mantises, a reference to their unique physical form and behavior, which often involves moving with a “swaying” motion, as if being “blown” in the breeze.

Kiwi eggs are one of the largest in proportion to body size of any bird in the world. The eggs can be up to 20% of the weight of the mother bird.

Ground pangolins walk on their hind legs, occasionally using their forelegs and their tail for balance.
