In the place where one species


    dwells;


    An equivalent thrives in another.


    Shall I start and you add the name?

    Bewick''s and Whistling,

    In the place where one dwells,


    its equivalent abounds in another.


    As with Lynx Eurasian,


    So too with Lynx Canadian.


    Over the same stretch the Great


    Horned watches,


    In the Eurasian depths so too


    Owl Eagle plunges.


    Through the canopy the Harpy cruises.


    Upon the un-suspecting the Crowned


    descends.


    And in the vastness of the


    Pantanal,


    Strides a cat like a leopard,


    But crowns the apex like


    a tiger:


    Panthera onca


    Two cats in one.
