The Oriental Magpie is a striking black-and-white bird found in forests, farmland, parks, and villages across East Asia. Recognized by its glossy black plumage, white belly and shoulders, and long graduated tail, it is an intelligent and highly adaptable member of the crow family. Oriental Magpies feed on insects, seeds, fruits, small animals, and carrion, helping control pests and clean up the environment. Their curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and loud, varied calls make them one of the most recognizable birds in their range.

The Amur Goral is a small mountain goat-antelope found in the rugged cliffs and forests of the Russian Far East, northeastern China, and the Korean Peninsula.
