Mystical creatures

As you walk along the river, you notice something strange on the ground, like a quarter-size black coin with a strange pattern, you bend down to take a closer look, is that a coin? this looks like an ancient seal with a symbol engraved on it. Maybe it came from a long lost civilization where you could sell it and make a fortune. You drop to one knee to pick up your new treasure. As soon as your finger touches it, you withdraw your hand as fear rises in your gut. It moves, you pick it up again, dig your fingernails into the ground around it to pull it out of the ground, that's where it moves, your heart jumps in your throat, it beats so hard you could feel it in my head, fear turning to terror as the creature swayed off the ground. It was not an ancient treasure, but a giant spider, a ravine trapdoor. The hard coin-shaped growth on the back of its body acts as a shield. The eight-legged terror digs deep into the ground, so hungry enemies can't reach them or you know confused giants like you. The spider is poisonous but its bite is not toxic to humans, but I'm not saying you won't smell it. Better stay away from those pincer-sized fangs. Well, never mind your wealth, maybe good fortune awaits you in Mexico's Baja California peninsula. You are walking on dry ground, when you notice a long white stripe in front of you, you are approaching, oh it looks like a very long worm. You think, but it doesn't move like any other worm you've ever seen, and then you see it has arms and a head. This pale creature with shiny black eyes is a Mexican mole lizard. He lives in the earth, where his whole supper of insects and termites meets. It rarely emerges, so you're lucky to have seen this bizarre reptile. You are in a tropical forest in northeastern Australia, in front of you, half hidden in the trees, you notice something big and round, this mysterious figure lying on the ground and covered in black hair. At first you think it's a sleeping bear curled up in a ball but that wouldn't make any sense because there's no bear, you're approaching below when a twig breaks under your foot, he hears you and jumps up, turns to face you and now you see it's a strange and beautiful bird whose black fur is actually a thick layer of long thin feathers. This impressive bird has a blue head topped with a large horn. It stands on two huge legs with dagger-like claws on each foot that can be as long as your hand. If you pluck those feathers, you might mistake this thing for a velociraptor, but it's actually a cassowary. The most dangerous bird in the world. If he wanted to, he could leap over your head, certainly high enough to kick you in the chest, and his punches are powerful enough to shatter bone, not to mention claws that can slice through anything like butter. This bird was created to hunt, not to be hunted. Don't even think about running unless you too can run over 30 miles per hour. Even a dip in the lake will not save you, because this bird is a very good swimmer. So it's best to back off slowly and hope he doesn't catch up to you. Another creature that proves you're better off keeping your hands to yourself is Panda Ant. The name is obvious, as it is black and white and has fur like the beloved bamboo-munching bear. This hairy little insect lives in the jungles of Chile. Don't pet this fluffy little ant, what you're looking at isn't an ant at all. It's a black-and-white wasp to warn others of its strong sting, and if that doesn't frighten you, the wasp will make a chirping sound.It sounds cute to us humans, but it means a painful sting is imminent. These insects are loners. They do not live in groups and do not have nests. They are also parasites. A female raccoon ant lays eggs next to the larvae of another insect, which then hatches using these larvae as food.
