  (#15) Cuckoo

  • Cuculidae

  Like the sleazy baddie from Marvel's Jessica Jones, the cuckoo bird uses its voice to make other birds do the one thing they don't want to do - foster the cuckoo's eggs while ignoring their own.
• 

  (#3) Lyrebird

  • Menura

  The lyrebird has the crazy ability to mimic any sound that it hears, including chainsaws, cars, and other birds. It's a bit reminiscent of Black Canary's shriek.
• 

  (#2) Alpine Ibex

  • Capra ibex

  The famed alpine ibex goat can run up walls at death-defying angles. It's basically the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of goats.
• 

  (#13) Hummingbird

  • Trochilidae

  If you've ever seen a hummingbird in flight then you know already know that it's an amazing creature. But did you know that hummingbirds are the fastest animal, relative to their size? A scientist measured them moving at up to 385 body lengths per second (blps) - around 27.3 meters per second.
• 

  (#11) Salamander

  • Caudata

  You guys, salamanders can regrow their limbs with a real regenerative healing factor. Scientists are in the early stages of reverse engineering the salamander's healing power to lengthen the human life span.

  (#19) Bombardier beetle

  When a bombardier beetle needs to make a quick getaway, what does it do? Not much. It simply induces a chemical explosion inside its shell to create a boiling, toxic liquid, which it sprays at its aggressor - much like The Flash's nemesis, The Mist.
