Another one is 'To kill the chicken to frighten the monkey'. In a group, if someone makes a mistake, the leader may punish one person severely as a warning to others. It's like killing a chicken in front of monkeys to make them behave. It's often used in management.
Sure. For example, 'The fox borrows the tiger's fierceness'. This idiom comes from a story. A fox fooled a tiger by saying that it was the king of the forest. The tiger believed it because other animals were scared and ran away when they saw the fox and the tiger together. It means relying on others' power to bully others.
There is also 'A dragon among men'. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents excellence and power. So this idiom is used to describe someone who is outstanding, like a dragon standing out among ordinary people. People with great abilities or achievements can be described by this idiom.
Sure. For example, '画蛇添足' (Draw a snake and add feet to it). There was a man who was the first to finish drawing a snake in a competition. But he thought it wasn't complete enough and added feet to it. As a result, he lost because snakes don't have feet. This idiom is used to describe doing unnecessary things that spoil the whole situation.
Take 'The blind men and the elephant' as an example. Different blind men touch different parts of the elephant and think it is something different. The moral here is that we should look at things comprehensively. We can't just rely on our limited perception. Only by considering all aspects can we truly understand a thing.
Here is another one. A group of monkeys in a zoo once found a way to open the latch on their cage door. They would wait until the zookeeper left and then one monkey would open the door. They didn't run away though. Instead, they just explored the area around the cage a bit and then went back inside and closed the door before the zookeeper returned. It was like they were just having a little adventure.

One interesting animal sex story is about the praying mantis. In some cases, after mating, the female may eat the male. It seems a rather extreme behavior but is part of their unique reproductive strategy.
Another example is the red - sided garter snake. During the mating season, thousands of male snakes gather in large mating balls, all vying for the attention of a female. This mass gathering is a remarkable and somewhat chaotic sight in the animal world.
Sure. There is a story about crows. Crows are known for their high intelligence. They can use tools, like using sticks to get insects out of tree holes. Another story is about dolphins. Dolphins can communicate with each other in a complex way and they are also very good at learning new tricks from humans.
Sure. One Animal Angel Story could be about a dog that saved a family from a fire. The dog barked frantically to wake them up and led them to safety. It was like a little angel in fur.
Sure. There was a story about a lost dog that found its way home after traveling hundreds of miles. It's amazing how animals have such a strong sense of direction.
