Sparrowhawk

A free jigsaw puzzle featuring a pair of beautiful Sparrowhawks (Accipiter nisus). The Sparrowhawk is a small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. Adult male Eurasian Sparrowhawks have bluish grey upperparts and orange-barred underparts; females and juveniles are brown above with brown barring below. The female is up to 25% larger than the male – one of the largest differences between the sexes in any bird species. Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian Sparrowhawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities. Image based on artwork by the American zoologist Daniel Giraud Elliot (March 7, 1835 - December 22, 1915).

Tigress And Cubs

The tiger's litter is usually two or three cubs, occasionally as few as one or as many as six. The tigress rear them alone, with the birth site and maternal den in a sheltered location such as a thicket, cave or rocky crevice. The cubs open their eyes at six to fourteen days old. By eight weeks, the cubs make short ventures outside the den with their mother. . The cubs often become capable hunters at eleven months old.

Two Lions Resting

Also known as the "king of the jungle" or the "king of beasts", the lion is the second largest extant species after the tiger. The lion typically inhabits grasslands and savannahs, but is absent in dense forests. The lion's prey consists mainly of mammals, particularly ungulates, with a preference for wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, gemsbok, and giraffes in Africa and chital, sambar deer, nilgai, wild boar, chinkara and chousingha in India. In today's new puzzle we feature a two lions resting after a long day of hunting.

Bears Playing

In today's new animal themed jigsaw puzzle we feature two brown bears playing on a log. There are several recognized subspecies within the brown bear species. In North America, two types of the subspecies Ursus arctos horribilis are generally recognized—the coastal brown bear and the inland grizzly bear. The brown bear's principal range includes parts of Russia, India, China, Canada, the United States (mostly Alaska), and the Carpathian region (especially Romania).

Cute Tree Squirrel On A Branch

Expert climbers, and primarily arboreal, some species of squirrels also thrive in urban environments, where they have adapted to humans. They are generally inquisitive and persistent animals. Like many members of the family Sciuridae, the tree squirrel is a scatter-hoarder; it hoards food in numerous small caches for later recovery. The squirrels have very accurate spatial memory for the locations of these caches, and use distant and nearby landmarks to retrieve them. They more active during the early and late hours of the day. In the wild, eastern gray squirrels can be found inhabiting large areas of mature, dense woodland. Close to human settlements, eastern gray squirrels are found in parks and back yards of houses within urban environments and in the farmlands of rural environments.

Saddled Horse

Time for a horse ride. The horse is saddled and waiting. Choose your difficulty level click start and you're ready to go. The earliest known saddle-like equipment were fringed cloths or pads used by Assyrian cavalry around 700 BC. Saddles were improved upon during the Middle Ages, as knights needed saddles that were stronger and offered more support. The saddle eventually branched off into different designs that became the modern English and Western saddles. One variant of the English saddle was developed by François Robinchon de la Guérinière, a French riding master and author of "Ecole de Cavalerie" who made major contributions to what today is known as classical dressage. He put great emphasis on the proper development of a "three point" seat that is still used today by many dressage riders. The modern Western saddle was developed from the Spanish saddles that were brought by the Spanish Conquistadors when they came to the Americas. These saddles were adapted to suit the needs of vaqueros and cowboys of Mexico, Texas and California, including the addition of a horn that allowed a lariat to be tied or dallied for the purpose of holding cattle and other livestock.

Hippos

It's time for a swim in the river. Join the hippos for swim in this fun new jigsaw. The hippopotamus, or hippo, from the ancient Greek for "river horse", is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal in sub-Saharan Africa. During the day, hippos remain cool by staying in the water or mud; reproduction and childbirth both occur in water. They emerge at dusk to graze on grass. While hippopotamuses rest near each other in the water, grazing is a solitary activity and hippos are not territorial on land.

Hens And Rooster Eating

Today we're starting the day on a farm feeding the chickens. Join us and put the hens and rooster back together and solve this fun animal theme jigsaw puzzle. If you didn't know, in the UK and Ireland, adult male chickens are primarily known as cocks, whereas in the United States, Australia and Canada, they are more commonly called roosters; young males are cockerels. Females over a year old are known as hens, and younger females as pullets. The young are called chicks. Chickens are gregarious birds and live together in flocks. When a rooster finds food, he may call other chickens to eat first. He does this by clucking in a high pitch as well as picking up and dropping the food. This behavior may also be observed in mother hens to call their chicks and encourage them to eat. So what are you waiting for? Click start and enjoy.

Rhinos

A fun jigsaw featuring a herd of rhinoceros. Rhinoceros, often abbreviated as rhino, is a group of five extant species of knee-less, odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. Two of these species are native to Africa and three to southern Asia. The rhinoceros family is characterized by its large size (one of the largest remaining megafauna), with all of the species able to reach one tonne or more in weight; a herbivorous diet; a thick protective skin, 1.5–5 cm thick, formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure; relatively small brains for mammals this size (400–600 g); and a large horn.

Two Cute Pugs

In ancient times, Pugs were bred to be companions for ruling families in China. Pugs were also popular at European courts, and reportedly become the official dog of the House of Orange in 1572 after a Pug named Pompey saved the life of the Prince of Orange by alerting him to the approach of assassins. Pugs are strong willed but rarely aggressive, and are suitable for families with children. The majority of the breed is very fond of children and sturdy enough to properly play with them.

Elephants on the Move

This new puzzle features a herd of elephants on the move. Both males and family groups typically move 10–20 km a day, but distances as far as 90–180 km have been recorded in the Etosha region of Namibia. They go on seasonal migrations in search of food, water and mates. At Chobe National Park, Botswana, elephant herds travel 325 km to visit the river when the local waterholes dry up. This jigsaw is based on Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert painting with the same name.
