Figure 1. Volvox in its natural form. The multicellular organism is composed of up to 50,000 cells that adhere to each other, forming a sphere. Each colony is composed of two differentiated cell lines: a large number of somatic cells with flagella and a smaller number of germ cells lacking in soma that lie in the interior.

Figure 1. Dumbo Octopus. Dumbo Octopuses (Grimpoteuthis) live deep in the open ocean, remarkably making this group one of the deepest living of all octopuses. Surviving in these extreme conditions requires an intense tolerance to cold water and a complete lack of light. They have been known to survive in depths of 13,000 feet and deeper, foraging along the ocean floor.

Figure 1. Scarlet Macaw (Ara Macao) and Blue and Gold Macaw (Ara ararauna). The two different species of Macaw live in the Amazon rainforest. They are a very social and intelligent bird, making them popular as pets. https://www.flickr.com/photos/timpeartrice/6104560916/sizes/z/
Figure 1. Red Eyed Tree Frog. Red Eyed Tree Frogs are very adapt climbers due to their sticky hands and feet. Their vibrant colors help them blend in with the color of the tropical rainforests. They feed on insects and live in trees. They also have strong hind legs which make them excellent leapers. They are found in Mexico and Central America.

Figure 1. Red Eyed Tree Frog. Red Eyed Tree Frogs perch on flower buds when looking for prey. Insects that they hunt tend to fly near flowering buds allowing the perched Red Eyed Tree Frog to easily catch the passing insect. Red Eyed Tree Frogs that perch on budding flowers have exhibited a higher yield of captured prey.

Figure 1: Volvox. Volvox are a chlorophytic green algae that live in freshwater environments. They form spherical colonies of up to 50,000 and diverged from unicellular ancestors approximately 200 million years ago.
