Birds
|
In Matthew 6:26, the Bible states, "Look at the birds of the air." The ostrich, kiwi and penguin are notable examples
of flightless birds but the vast majority of birds are amazing in their ability to fly with ease. For centuries mankind
has been attempting to imitate the flight of a bird. It has only been in the 20th century that we have had some
success. We still study the birds to learn more about aerodynamics. The bird has been wonderfully created for flight.

The Camel
|
The camel and its specialised equipment highlight the incredible design features which evolutionists
must explain as the result of random mutations selected by the environment. It is hard to see how all
the features it requires could have come by a gradual evolutionary process.

The Hummingbird
|
They are the smallest birds in nature, weighing less than a tenth of an ounce, with some 300 different varieties worldwide.
When early Spanish explorers first encountered hummingbirds in the New World, they called them "joyas voladoras" or "flying jewels."
But the hummingbird is more than just beautiful.

The Kiwi
|
It looks like a hedgehog. It lives in burrows on the ground. It feeds like a hedgehog and has a hedgehog's sense of smell -
but it is a bird! In New Zealand, where there are no hedgehogs, the flightless hen-sized kiwi fills the ecological gap normally
occupied by small spiny mammals.It searches for food at night and uses it's long sensitive bill to stab the
ground in search of worms, slugs and other juicy morsels.

The Monarch Butterfly
|
One of the most amazing things in God's Creation is the everyday miracle of the metamorphosis of insects.
The word "metamorphosis" simply means "great change" and this indeed is what happens as caterpillars change into
butterflies. The Monarch Butterfly is a good example.

The Pacific Salmon
|
In early spring or summer, the pacific sockeye living in the far distances of the Pacific set out on the journey of a
lifetime. They were born six years earlier in the headwaters of North American rivers. Now it is time for them to return, responding to a
long-remembered scent. From the coast, the salmon then surge upriver to their exact birthplace, a trek of maybe another
1500 miles (2400km).

The Pig
|
They are one of the intelligent animals in the farmyard. We share this planet with one billion pigs. They are one of the
most widespread animals on the planet. Pigs and humans have had a relationship for many years along the line of "you feed
me and I'll feed you!". It allows pigs to flourish as the number one meat producing animal on the planet. What is so amazing
about pigs?

The Pigeon
|
They have been called "sky rats" or "sewer eagles". There are millions of pigeons throughout the world. Pecking away and leaving
their mess over out cities, cars and us! The pigeon is a genius that is right under our noses. Pigeons have been our fine feathered
friends for many years. What is so amazing about pigeons?

The Sardine
|
In a spectacular underwater marine ballet, millions of sardines run in hundreds of shoals, swirling, dancing, and
transforming in shape in the "Sardine Run" — an unexplained phenomenon that’s been dubbed "the greatest shoal
on earth" — for which they make their way through the cold Atlantic waters off the Cape towards the sub-tropical
waters of the Indian Ocean, with vast numbers of predators in hot pursuit.

The Spider
|
The spider is a master engineer, and doesn't even know it. Can you think of any structures where we use similar
construction techniques to the spider? Suspension bridges. Humans use all the engineering principles you see
in a spider's web and apply them to bridges.
