Illustrated Tropical Fishes

Blue-faced Honeyeater

Found in open woodland, parks, and gardens, the blue-faced honeyeater is common in northern and eastern Australia and southern New Guinea. Early naturalist George Shaw had called it the blue-faced honey-sucker in 1826. Other common names include white-quilled honeyeater, and blue-eye. Its propensity for feeding on the flowers and fruit of bananas in north Queensland has given it the common name of banana-bird.

Doves

Another fun puzzle is here. Today we feature a pair of doves building a nest in a flower filled tree. In general, the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably. In ornithological practice, "dove" tends to be used for smaller species and "pigeon" for larger ones. Doves are stout-bodied birds with short necks, and have short, slender bills with fleshy ceres. Doves feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. Pigeons and doves are distributed everywhere on Earth. The largest number of species is found in tropical forests and woodlands. These species may be arboreal, terrestrial or semiterrestrial. Various species also inhabit savannas, grasslands, deserts, temperate woodlands and forests, mangrove forests, and even the barren sands and gravels of atolls. This puzzle is based on a illustration by John James Audubon from his color-plate book entitled "The Birds of America".

Turkey

In this new puzzle we feature an imposing turkey walking around on a green, grassy meadow. The turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is a large bird native to the forests of North America, mainly Mexico and the United States. When Europeans first encountered turkeys in America, they incorrectly identified the birds as a member of a group of birds which were thought to typically come from the country of Turkey ( guineafowl). The name of the North American bird thus became "turkey fowl", which was then shortened to just "turkey"

Baby Chicks

Another fun jigsaw is here! In today's new puzzle we feature two cute baby chicks playing around on a fluffy towel. If you didn't know girl chicks are called pullets and boy chicks are called cockerels.

Cute Hedgehog On Grass

Join the the cute hedgehog for some fun on the grassy meadow featured in today's puzzle of the day. If you didn't know there are seventeen species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Africa, Asia,and New Zealand. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas; all the ones you see now on these two continents where brought here by people. The name hedgehog came into use around the year 1450, derived from the Middle English heyghoge (today hedge) because it likes living in and around hedgerows, and hoge, hogge ("hog"), from its snout which looks like a pig's. Now that you know all about these cute critter click start and solve the puzzle and see the animal in it's natural habitat.

Kittens In The Grass

Today's jigsaw feature some cute kittens playing in the green grass. It's their first time exploring the green meadow so they're kind of cautious; help them get used to the grass and have fun by solving this fun new puzzle.

Spotted Hyena

This new puzzle features a spotted hyena. Spotted hyenas are the largest of three hyena species. Brown and striped hyenas are the other two. Spotted hyenas are famed scavengers and often dine on the leftovers of other bigger predators. But they are also skilled hunters. Although hyenas appear similar to dogs, they are actually more closely related to cats. They live throughout much of Africa and eastwards through Arabia to India.

Kangaroos

This new fun jigsaw puzzle features two cute kangaroos sitting around on a green meadow. Kangaroos are endemic to Australia, and one genus, the tree-kangaroo, is also found in Papua New Guinea. The kangaroo is an unofficial symbol of Australia and appears as an emblem on the Australian coat of arms and on some of its currency. The word "kangaroo" derives from the Guugu Yimithirr word gangurru, referring to grey kangaroos. A common myth about the kangaroo's English name is that "kangaroo" was a Guugu Yimithirr phrase for "I don't understand you." According to this legend, James Cook and Sir Joseph Banks were exploring the area when they happened upon the animal. They asked a nearby local what the creatures were called. The local responded "Kangaroo", meaning "I don't understand you", which Cook took to be the name of the animal.

Cute Tabby Cat

A fun jigsaw puzzle of a cute tabby cat sitting on the grass. A tabby is any cat that has a distinctive coat that features stripes, dots, lines or swirling patterns, usually together with a mark resembling an "M" on its forehead. Tabbies are sometimes erroneously assumed to be a cat breed. In fact, the tabby pattern is found in many breeds of cat, as well as among the general mixed-breed population. The tabby pattern is a naturally occurring feature that may be related to the coloration of the domestic cat's direct ancestor, the African Wildcat, which (along with the European Wildcat and Asiatic Wildcat) has a similar coloration.

Spotted Seals

The spotted seal inhabits ice floes and waters of the north Pacific Ocean and adjacent seas. It is primarily found along the continental shelf of the Beaufort, Chukchi, Bering and Okhotsk Seas and south to the northern Yellow Sea and it migrates south as far as northern Huanghai and the western Sea of Japan. Spotted seals are relatively shy and are difficult for humans to approach.
