The wildebeest, one of the many species of ungulates and "cud munchers" that populate the Serengeti, take part in a grand migration every year.

Madagascar
Many of the flora and fauna of Madagascar are found nowhere else on Earth, which is why the island isn't called "Normal-a-gascar."

Penguins
Penguins, "the natural world's answer to Charlie Chaplin," only have to waddle about to make children -- and Amstrong Wedgewood -- smile.
