Illustration of a brown, furry three-toed sloth (Bradypus tridactylus) clinging to a short tree trunk with sparse green and brown leaves. The sloth has a rounded face with a slight smile and visible claws gripping the tree. The background shows a soft, distant landscape with greenery and faint structures under a pale sky. The style is detailed and naturalistic, typical of historic scientific illustrations. The image is labeled with the species name below the sloth.

Historical illustration titled "Birdcraft" (1895) showing 19 small songbirds, each perched on branches or natural elements like rocks and thorns. The birds vary in color, featuring shades of yellow, brown, black, and orange, with distinct markings such as stripes and spots. The composition is labeled "Plate II" with each bird numbered. The birds are drawn with detailed plumage and postures, capturing a range of species likely associated with the magnolia habitat or region. The illustration uses a muted, natural color palette typical of 19th-century ornithological art.

A Sandhill Crane with feathers freshly painted with iron-rich mud, which will give the feathers a rusty tint. It's believed this is done to help the crane blend into the environment while sitting on a nest.

A brown and gray hawk dips its head down to get a drip from a big water bowl. We see water dripping from its beak.

Maybe a sip of cool water. 👀
