Some Eurasian sparrowhawks (Accipiter nisus) were chasing pigeons in the schoolyard, and while trying to escape, some of them chose to get away through the double insulated windows. Due to the full speed crash the dust from their plumage adhered to the glass in a shape perfectly outlining the last moments of their lives. Every year, millions of birds are killed by colliding with glass windows in human buildings.

Farmers and poachers are not always able to sell the cheetah cubs immediately (Acinonyx jubatus). The cubs keep on growing and eventually become juveniles and even transitioning into adults, making it more and more difficult to find final buyers. It is known that some of these cheetahs end up being killed and sold in parts to Asian markets, where they are sold as "tiger bones" or used to make Chinese  "tiger bone" wine.
