北海岸及觀音山國家風景區
北海岸及觀音山國家風景區是位於台灣的國家風景區，成立於2002年10月17日，主要是由北海岸區的「北海岸風景區」、「野柳風景區」與觀音山所組成，北海岸區介於萬里都市計畫和三芝區與淡水區界之間，觀音山區位於淡水河、龍形、五股、林口台地與八里範圍內。其中野柳風景區以特殊地質、地形為其特色。

此區的重要景點有富基漁港、富貴角、石門洞、野柳豆腐岩、金山老街、女王頭等。

其中富貴角的重要地形景觀為風稜石，這樣的景觀在麟山鼻和崁子腳溪與八甲溪出海口間的海岸也可觀察到。

女王頭位於野柳海岸，女王頭由兩種不同膠結強度的砂岩組成，受到風力吹蝕和磨蝕作用，形成有如女王頭像的石像，還有像燭台、仙女鞋的石群，也可觀察到蕈狀石。

The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is the most numerous tiger subspecies. Its populations have been estimated at 1,706–1,909 in India, 440 in Bangladesh, 124–229 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan. Since 2010, it has been classified as an endangered species by the IUCN. The total population is estimated at fewer than 2,500 individuals with a decreasing trend, and none of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within the Bengal tiger's range is large enough to support an effective population size of 250 adult individuals.

Bengal is traditionally fixed as the typical locality for the binomial Panthera tigris, to which the British taxonomist Pocock subordinated the Bengal tiger in 1929 under the trinomial Panthera tigris tigris.

It is the national animal of both India and Bangladesh.

'Wonder Full' is a nighttime multimedia spectacular located at Marina Bay Sands, Marina Bay, Singapore. The show is designed by the Australian based multimedia company Laservision (who also designed Spirits of Sentosa). The show uses the display of water screens and pyrotechnics, and is based on the song What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. The show ends with the title song. Those who are unable to see the show can tune into the radio frequency 103.9 FM, the channel known as "Wonder Full Waves", and hear the soundtrack live once the show is played.

The orangutans are the only exclusively Asian living genus of great ape. They are the largest living arboreal animals. They have longer arms than other great apes, and their hair is typically reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of other great apes. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, they are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Vietnam and China. There are only two surviving species, both of which are endangered: the Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and the critically endangered Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii). The subfamily Ponginae also includes the extinct genera Gigantopithecus and Sivapithecus. The word "orangutan" comes from the Malay words "orang" (man) and "(h)utan" (forest); hence, "man of the forest".

Lady beetles are the Coccinellidae, a family of beetles. All species are protected by noxious fluids based on cyanide, and most have warning colouration, such as red with black spots.

They are often called lady bugs or ladybirds, but biologists prefer the term lady beetle.

台湾南雅奇石地質公園:
南雅奇岩位於台灣東北方的東北角海岸風景區，南雅海岸山勢陡峭，海崖及海蝕風化景像明顯，是極美麗特殊的景點。此處的沙岩地質因為受東北季風影響，雨水侵蝕及風化，讓岩石內部鐵礦逐漸氧化；又因岩石的軟硬質地不均，所以同一石塊的侵蝕及風化的層次產生了差異性，讓岩質表面呈現奇特的帶狀花紋，代表性景觀為石筍(冰淇淋岩)及海狗岩(海狗石)。
