5 species
Species principle: Flock Passage
Cross the marsh together.
A wide wet world becomes easier when crossed with the right company.
Glossy Ibises use long curved bills to probe wetlands and often move in flocks between marshes, flooded fields, and shallow feeding areas.
Species principle: Wind Trust
Trust the wind.
Go farther by giving your weight to the force already moving.
Northern Fulmars use stiff-winged gliding and dynamic soaring over ocean winds, traveling long distances above cold seas with efficient flight.
Species principle: Restlessness
Keep the tail moving.
Small motion keeps the journey alive when the road is long.
Palm Warblers are known for near-constant tail bobbing while foraging low in shrubs and on the ground. They migrate seasonally and often search actively for insects and small food items.
Species principle: Attachment
Ride the giant.
Smallness travels far when it knows what to attach to.
Remoras have a modified dorsal fin that works as a suction disc, allowing them to attach to sharks, rays, turtles, and other large marine animals for transport and feeding opportunities.
Species principle: Flock Contact
Whistle together.
The right company is held together by a voice that keeps returning.
White-faced Whistling-ducks are social wetland ducks that use whistling calls and flocking behavior while feeding, resting, and traveling around marshes and lagoons.
