Marbled newt (Triturus marmoratus)

The marbled newt is a mainly terrestrial newt native to Europe. Breeding males have a large wavy crest that runs from its neck down to the tip of its tail. Adult marbled newts are from 13 cm to 17 cm long. Marbled newts live throughout most of France, and northern Spain west to the top third of Portugal.

Wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax)

The wedge-tailed eagle is the largest bird of prey in Australia, and is also found in southern New Guinea, part of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. It has long, fairly broad wings, fully feathered legs, and an unmistakable wedge-shaped tail. It has a wingspan up to 2.84 m and a length up to 1.06 m. Wedge-tailed eagles are highly aerial, soaring for hours on end without wingbeat and seemingly without effort, regularly reaching 1,800 m (5,900 ft) and sometimes considerably higher. Most prey is captured on the ground in gliding attacks or (less frequently) in the air. Choice of prey is very much a matter of convenience and opportunity; since the arrival of Europeans, the introduced rabbit and brown hare have become the primary items of the eagle’s diet in many areas.They display considerable adaptability, and have been known to team up to hunt large red kangaroos, to cause goats to fall off steep hillsides and injure themselves, or to drive flocks of sheep or kangaroos to isolate a weaker animal. Carrion is a major diet item.

Chimpanzees and tomatoes. 

Feeding time at the Chimp house. A zookeeper was tossing whole veggies in the enclosure. Tomatoes were far and away the most popular item.
