The Slow-Worm is not a snake. The Slow-Worm (Angius Fragilis) is a lizard native to parts of Asia and Europe. Like many lizards, it can shed it's tail when threatened. Interestingly, it cannot regrow its tail. Instead, it heals and leaves a scar.

Blakiston’s fish owl is the largest owl in the world and yes, it absolutely skips leg day with those giant feathered feet. It lives in cold, forested rivers of Russia and Japan, where it fishes like a grumpy old man with wings. With a wingspan over 6 feet, it could probably borrow your blanket without asking. This owl is super shy and endangered, which is wild considering it looks like it could give life advice and then disappear into the trees. It’s big, fluffy, and mysterious basically the wizard of the owl world.

The European mink is like a tiny ninja in a fur coat sleek, sneaky and surprisingly good at swimming. It loves hanging out near rivers and streams, where it hunts frogs, fish and anything else it can snatch with its tiny paws. Don’t let its cute face fool you it’s fast, feisty and fiercely protective of its turf. Sadly, it’s also one of Europe’s most endangered mammals, mostly because humans keep messing up its habitat. If it had a slogan, it might be: “Small, wet, and in serious need of a comeback!”.
