This figure consists of photos of the five animals listed in Table 1. Part (a) shows a leatherback turtle, so named because it has a thick, leathery skin rather than a bony carapace. The dorsal surface is dark grey to brown, while the underside is light coloured. Part (b) shows two humpback whales. These mammals get their name from the 'hump' in front of the small dorsal fin. They are mainly black and grey with white undersides and have long flippers. Part (c) shows a monarch butterfly. The wings are reddish-orange with black vein-like markings and have a black border studded with white spots. Part (d) shows an arctic tern. The bird is mainly grey and white, with a black neck and crown. It has a long red beak and a deeply forked tail. Part (e) shows a bar-headed goose. This large bird is mostly pale grey with two black bars on its white head, and an orange beak and legs.
