For some of God's creatures it is definitely not by accident but rather part of God's design that they gain weight—rapidly! Take bears, for example. Some of the largest adult male brown bears have been found to weigh 1,500 pounds. Routinely a bear will gain 400 pounds each year between late spring and winter— and that is good! The huge layers of muscles in their body, especially noted in the heavy roll between their shoulders, are most useful in digging with their powerful forearms and non-retractable 6-inch-long claws. By winter both males and females will have dug out suitable dens or found caves in which they'll curl up for their winter snooze.

Scientists in their laboratories have discovered that the highly intelligent octopus is able to figure out mazes and puzzles.

A person would have to have a heart closed to beauty not to enjoy the sight of the gorgeous red feathers of the male cardinal who wears a black mask around his eyes and down to his throat.

The not-by-accident design of the flashing mechanism of the lightning bug is far superior to that of our incandescent light bulbs that are about 10% energy efficient but use up to 90% of their energy generating heat to produce that light.

Like all newly-born white-tailed deer, the fawn in the key deer sub-species has a beautiful coat of camouflage: brown with white spots.

The hummingbird is the very smallest of all birds, with some species being just a bit over two inches in length.

The ants' brains are the largest of any insect, and their mushroom-shaped appendages have been found to function similar to the gray matter of human brains. So it's not by accident they are observed successfully changing careers, responding to emergencies, having huge ant-community civic projects, and are able to keep track of paths between food source and home by laying down scent trails which they follow themselves and direct other ants to for nourishment.

The often-pictured mountain goat can thrive in elevations too high and cold for even trees to grow.
