Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million in total. Animals range in size from 8.5 millionths of a metre to 33.6 metres (110 ft) long and have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs.
Dasiphora is a genus of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil), ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere.

[407] [410] Toucans are well-documented as taking diverse animal prey items, especially to feed young, but the occurrence of animals in adult diets is likely overemphasized; in one study of 32 species and 326 individual stomachs, only 5.5% contained arthropods, while only 1.2% contained vertebrates. [374] Toucans comprise five genera:
