Prosopocoilus buddha is a species of stag beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in the tribe Cladognathini. This Asian species is variable, with several known subspecies [1] and widely distributed from India to Sulawesi.
This is a medium-sized (males 26-63 mm) species for the genus Prosopocoilus , with a wide, glossy reddish-brown to black appearance. The species is very variable: large males may have jaws that are long, rather thin and slightly curved, with a tooth at the root, a slightly larger tooth just outside the middle and a number of smaller teeth. Small males tend to have short, knife-shaped and jagged jaws. The head is large, wide, and not sculptured, with antennae having a three-wire fan. The pronotum is considerably wider than long, not narrowed at the base. The underside is the same colour as the top and the legs are dark brown to black. The female is smaller, wider and shinier, with no enlarged jaws.
The larvae develop in rotten tree trunks, probably taking a year to develop. The adult beetles may drink sap from trees.
BioLib lists the following subspecies: [1]
The orange-headed thrush is a bird in the thrush family.
The tiger shrike or thick-billed shrike is a small passerine bird which belongs to the genus Lanius in the shrike family, Laniidae. It is found in wooded habitats across eastern Asia. It is a shy, often solitary bird which is less conspicuous than most other shrikes. Like other shrikes it is predatory, feeding on small animals. Its nest is built in a tree and three to six eggs are laid.
Prosopocoilus giraffa, the giraffe stag beetle, is the world's largest stag beetle and is a member of the family Lucanidae within the order Coleoptera. They have very long, toothed and notched mandibles that protrude about half the size of their body. They tend to be aggressive and are fierce and powerful. Males fight each other using these strong and enlarged jaws to lift and throw rivals to win a mate. They can grow up to 119 millimetres in length. Several distinctive populations (subspecies) are found in moist forested region areas of Asia, ranging from India to Indonesia. Prosopocoilus giraffa keisukei can measure up to 12 centimeters. Prosopocoilus giraffa daisukei have the brightest elytra of all subspecies and Prosopocoilus giraffa giraffa is the smallest subspecies.
The golden-headed cisticola, also known as the bright-capped cisticola, is a species of warbler in the family Cisticolidae, found in Australia and thirteen Asian countries. Growing to 9–11.5 cm (3.5–4.5 in) long, it is usually brown and cream in colour, but has a different appearance during the mating season, with a gold-coloured body and a much shorter tail. It is an omnivore and frequently makes a variety of vocalizations. Known as the "finest tailor of all birds", it constructs nests out of plants and spider threads. It mates in the rainy season. It has a very large range and population, which is thought to be increasing.

This species is locally abundant and is expanding northward in Siberia, so there are no concerns about its conservation status.
The lesser coucal is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It has a wide distribution range that overlaps with several other similar species. The habitat in which it is found is often marshy land with grass and tree cover. It is distinguished by its smaller size, less prominent bill, pale shaft streaks on the feathers of the head and back.
