İğneada Floodplain Forests National Park mixed wood. Vine species are the most distinct plants of the forest. Sprecies of European ash ("Fraxinus excelsior"), oak ("Quercus"), alder ("(Alnus"), beech ("Fagaceae") and maple ("Aceraceae") are trees found in the national park forest. Trout ("Oncorhynchus"), smelt ("Osmeridae"), grey mullet ("Mugilidae") are fish species of the national park. Birds like white-tailed eagle ("Haliaeetus albicilla"), European green woodpecker ("Picus viridis"), owl ("Strigiformes"), grey heron ("Ardea cinerea"), European cuckoo ("Cuculus canorus"), kingfisher ("Coraciiformes"), black stork ("Ciconia nigra)") and hoopoe ("Upupa epops") are observed in the area. Among the mammals are wildcat ("Felis silvestris"), wild boar ("Sus scrofa"), hare ("Lepus"), European pine
Genomic evolution of birds several modifications and deletions which occurred in the exons of the genes implicated in the formation of enamel and dentine. It is thought that the common ancestor of birds already lacked mineralized teeth, and that later genome changes pushed the situation to the current status. Also, birds have the best vision system known in vertebrates. They have a higher number of photoreceptors, and most birds are tetrachromats. The only exception are penguins, which have only three functional opsin genes (and hence are trichromats). This exception could be related to the aquatic lifestyle, since marine mammals have also lost either one
