Mythology
This document defines and provides characteristics of various mythological figures such as legends, fables, folktales, and fairytales.

Flood myths reset the world through deluges, appearing globally with themes of punishment and rebirth. Tricksters, a universal archetype, use intelligence and cunning to defy norms, found as animal, human and spirit figures like Coyote, Brer Rabbit, Anansi and the Monkey King across various cultures

Two of the most important younger Olympians are Artemis and Apollo, twin children of Zeus and the goddess Leto.

Winsor lion
Lions historically lived across large areas of Africa and North America but now primarily reside in grasslands and deserts of Africa and a small population in India.

People are helping green turtles by dimming city lights and not fishing for them.
Winsor dolphin
Dolphins are endangered due to getting caught in fishing nets, drowning when river flooding causes their blow holes to take in water, and being hunted by humans for bait. They have complex brains that are more folded than human brains and can sleep with one brain hemisphere at a time. Dolphins interact socially with other dolphins when not hunting and can blow bubble rings large enough to swim through. Their endangerment threatens other animals in the food chain.
Winsor cheetah
The document is about cheetahs and provides several facts about them. It states that cheetahs are fast runners but are endangered due to hunting and loss of habitat from human activities like farming and logging.
