What #SpecialSpecies Are You?

Good morning world! It's a brand new day staying at home. You get out of bed and wander over to a mirror and smile. Today you are feeling really proud of your:

You yawn and head to prepare yourself a meal. Yum yum, its time for:

The other organism you live with rudely commented on the way that you move around the living area. They said you...

Final question. You're thinking of something nice to do today at home. You decide to do some painting. What is going to be your main colour choice?

Snakes don't have beaks, we hear you proclaim!
Ahhh, well don't you worry. Scientists can literally call species whatever they want, so maybe this snake has something that LOOKS like a beak.

Aaaanyway, congratulations, you're a sssssnake with a golden attitude.

Ophis chrysarostrum, the Golden-beaked Snake

Wow, you've got a great beard. Is it a tactic to attract a mate, or perhaps to keep your enemies away? Or maybe your beard is actually home to some purple bacteria?

Who knows? The main thing is, you've got a great beard. Congrats.

Vulpes barbioda, the Purple-bearded Fox

Congratulations you're a spider with a big white booty.

Arachna leuccorpus, the White-bodied Spider

Oh blue... the colour of the sky... the sea... and your ears.

Congratulations on having the oddest ears of the pack.

Muris cyanot, the Blue-eared Mouse

Oh my, you are a mysterious fellow. We are desperate to find out what you hide inside your pouch.

Verdasaurus marsupium, The Pouched Green Lizard

Oink! What a fine specimen you are. Your silver nose shines brighter than any piece of jewellery.

Porcus rhinoargus, The Silver-nosed Pig

Why was this tree given the species name 'dulciligna'?
Well that's up to you.

Perhaps the bark has a sweet odour, or its flowers a sweet taste. Or maybe the tree simply looks sweet in the autumn months.

Whatever the answer, we think its a pretty sweet species.

Dulciligna, Sweet wood

Pryofungi sounds like a great name for a band, but you have claimed it as your own. This fire fungi BURNS on contact - so be careful not to touch your eyes (though you should be being careful of that anyway).

These tiny mushrooms may look timid, but they pack a punch, and their root system is actually humongous. You're a secret monster - congrats!

Pyrofungi melanosoma, the Black-bodied Fire-fungus

Chomp! Wow, you are a super interesting special species. Your leaves are like feathers in that they are super soft and almost white. Maybe this is what lures your prey into a false sense of security for when you CONSUME them in your acid-filled mouth.

Congrats on being cunningly carnivorous!

Rhodus pinnatobrachus, the Red Feather-leaved Carnivorous Plant
