Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
On a walk through the forest you might spot rows of shallow holes in tree bark. This is the work of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, an enterprising woodpecker that laps up the leaking sap and any trapped insects with its specialized, brush-tipped tongue.

Tarantulas
Tarantulas are unique among spiders as they have relatively long life spans. Male (pictured) and female tarantulas do not reach sexual maturity until 8-10 years of age. Males die shortly after breeding, but females may live for 20-25 years. As a result, individual tarantulas must survive for a long period of time (a very long time for your average spider) before they are even capable of reproduction.
