Fun fact: a herd of fennec foxes can take down a fully-grown rhinoceros. They often take down prey much larger than they are by using this method, and nibble the prey down to bones in minutes.

Wool Sower Wasp Galls
Young White Oak

The tiny wasp stings the stem and deposits eggs. The developing eggs use chemicals like hormones to stimulate the tree to produce a very specific growth structure that encases and protects the larvae. If you open the gall, the larvae look like seeds packed side by side with fuzzy tails. The whole cycle takes two years to complete. Though strangely parasitic, it doesn’t hurt the trees.

Gelada society is based on a multi-level social system. Female geladas form the core of these societies, with groups of related females, their offspring, and one or more adult males. These groups are called reproductive units or harems.

Argentavis magnificent chases down a meter long macroeuphractes
Unlike their modern day relatives, teratorns such as argentavis likely didn't spend much time scavenging on the wing. With large robust legs and a skull more adapted for gripping and swallowing, it’s possible argentavis was instead a terrestrial pursuit predator
