This rodent is truly exceptional! Living in large underground colonies, within a vast network of tunnels, it hardly needs to see and its eyes are therefore atrophied; on the other hand, its hearing and its sense of smell are highly developed.

The skin, hairless, is particularly flexible and resistant to wounds. The Naked Mole Rat lives for 20 to 30 years (in captivity), which corresponds to more than 500 years for a human being! It is completely immunised against cancers and it is insensitive to pain.

The vulture, a majestic creature of the skies, embodies both the grandeur and complexity of nature. These scavenging raptors, often misunderstood, play a crucial role in ecosystems by removing carcasses and recycling dead organic matter. Their massive silhouette and broad wings evoke a sense of quiet power as they soar high in the sky, searching for their next meal.

The Angora Goat, originating from Ankara in Turkey, is renowned for its luxurious mohair wool. This precious fiber, with exceptional fineness, offers a range of colors from white to caramel. Mohair, appreciated for its softness, lightness, and natural sheen, is used by designers worldwide, embodying an ethical and sustainable fashion, highlighting the symbiosis between nature, man, and craftsmanship.

The dromedary, recognizable by its single hump, is perfectly adapted to life in desert regions. Its hump contains fat reserves that help it cope with a lack of food and water, while its body greatly limits water loss. Enduring and docile, it is also a valuable ally for desert populations: it can carry heavy loads and provide milk, meat and textile fibres. Domesticated for thousands of years, it still plays an essential role today in many arid regions.

The Purebred Spanish Horse, originating from Andalusia, is an ancient horse breed renowned for its elegance, power and agility. Its morphology, with a strong neck and supple limbs, gives it great freedom of movement and makes it particularly well suited to classical dressage. Surprisingly, its bloodlines were preserved for centuries by Carthusian monks in Spain, and this breed has influenced several other prestigious horses, such as the Lipizzan.
