The Indo-Pacific tarpon, also known as the oxeye herring or simply herring, is a relatively medium-sized species of tarpon.
The shortnose spurdog also known as the piked spurdog is a small shark located primarily off the coast of Southern Australia and South Africa. The shortnose spurdog's size is dependent on the sex of the animal. The female shortnose spurdog is consistently larger than the male shortnose spurdog and will typically measure out to about 56.41 cm (1.85 ft) while the male shortnose spurdog will typically only measure out to about 44.36 cm in length (1.46 ft) which means the female shortnose spurdog is over 10 cm longer than the male shortnose spurdog. Some females can even measure up to 78 cm which is over 2.5 feet long. The life span of spurdog's can be quite long with females typically living longer than males. The average life span of a female shortnose spurdog is 0–29 years old while the male life span is 0-26 though it is estimated that a female can live up to 46 years while a male can only live up to 33. Females also take longer to reach sexual maturity than males and on average are not fertile until they are over 15 years of age. 7 years longer than the 8 years it takes males to reach maturity. The shortnose spurdog's eat a variety of items but primarily favor cephalopods such as squid and octopuses for their meals. Other organisms that have been found in their stomachs include fish, hermit crabs, sponges, brittle stars, the remains of sea lion and even primary producers such as algae.
The brown deer mouse is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae found only in Mexico.
Pristimantis megalops is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. Its common name is San Lorenzo robber frog. It is endemic to the northwestern slopes of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, northern Colombia. It occurs in cloud forest areas where it is found in closed-canopy secondary forests, riparian forests, and pine plantations. It is a very common, terrestrial frog that can be found on fallen leaves and under rocks and logs. It is threatened by habitat loss.

The Cortez pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found around the Isla Angel de la Guarda, in the Gulf of California, in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It has not been recorded since 1965. The specific name honours Daniel M. Cohen (1930-2017) of Stanford University who accompanied Böhlke on the expedition that collected the type.
The Delta pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found from Costa Rica to Colombia, in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 7.5 centimetres (3.0 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on zooplankton.
The yellow-mouth pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. The specific name honours the carcinologist Waldo L. Schmitt (1887-1977) who was Curator of the Division of Marine Invertebrates in the US National Museum and who was responsible for the collection of the two types.
The yellowface pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Atlantic, including the Bahamas and Caribbean. It can reach a maximum length of 8.5 centimetres (3.3 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on crustaceans, finfish, and worms and can be found in the commercial aquarium trade. The specific name honours the zoologist, diver and underwater photographer Conrad Limbaugh (1925-1960).

Teuthowenia megalops, sometimes known as the Atlantic cranch squid, is a species of glass squid from the subarctic and temperate waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They are moderately sized squid with a maximum mantle length of 40 cm (16 in). Their very large eyes are the source for the specific name megalops. Like other members of the genus Teuthowenia, they are easily recognizable by the presence of three bioluminescent organs (photophores) on their eyeballs.
Teuthowenia maculata is a species of glass squid in the genus Teuthowenia. It is similar to the two other members of its genus - T. megalops and T. pellucida, but it is only found in the tropical waters off the coast of Africa in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The largest recorded specimen is an immature male with a mantle length of 143 millimetres (5.6 in).
The Mexican gartersnake is a species of snake of the family Colubridae. It is found in Mexico and in the United States. This essentially harmless snake is semi-aquatic and most of the recognized subspecies are restricted to lake basins in Mexico.
Chaenopsis alepidota, the orangethroat pikeblenny, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from California to the Gulf of California. It lives in holes excavated by worms in sandy areas.
