I am always drawn to unique animals. You know, the kind of critters that are different from all others such as the Virginia Opossum which is the only marsupial in America. Or the Osprey, a fish-eating raptor that is the only raptor to dive feet first into the water, often completely submerging itself to catch a fish. The Osprey is in a family by itself and isn’t related to any other raptor.
