The native distribution of this species is Western Europe and Central Europe. The range of the white-lipped snail extends closer to the Arctic in Northern Europe than the range of the grove snail. The white-lipped snail has been introduced to northeastern parts of the USA, but has not established itself as successfully as the grove snail. The two species share many of the same habitats, such as woods, dunes and grassland, but the white-lipped snail"

There are three different types of white hamster: dark, flesh eared and black eyed. All three are completely white. The dark eared variety first appeared in 1952 and has red eyes which darken as the animal ages. Black eyed whites have flesh coloured ears. Flesh eared whites, often described as albinos, were first mentioned in the ""National Hamster Council Journal"" in 1956. As the name suggests, flesh eared whites have flesh ears and pink eyes.

The Wiltshire Horn is one of the foundation breeds for Katahdin, Wiltipoll, and Easycare breeds. Until the 20th century, the breed was chiefly traded at local events such as the Westbury Hill Fair.

The ornithologist Alfred John North described the banded whiteface as ""Xerophila nigricincta"" in 1895, from specimens collected at Missionary Plains, Northern Territory. Harry Church Oberholser pointed out that this genus name was invalid as it had been given to a genus of mollusc, hence it gained its current name ""Aphelocephala nigricincta"" in 1899.

Its closest living relatives may well be the red-backed (""B. polyosoma"") and Puna hawks (""B. poecilochrous""). Particularly some populations of the former look like small black-chested buzzard-eagles. The barred hawk (""L. princeps"") looks similar to the black-chested buzzard-eagle in general color pattern, though the tail differs much in shape, size, and the bright white central band stands out. The relationship of the black-chested buzzard-eagle to the prehistoric genera ""Titanohierax"" from the Caribbean and the Pan-American ""Amplibuteo"" also warrant more study."

They lack the typical carpal patches on the underside of the wings seen in true buzzards, but the entire wing lining appears dark in contrast to the flight feathers.

It is usually considered a subspecies of the sharp-shinned hawk by most taxonomists, including the American Ornithological Society, but the taxonomy is far from resolved, with some authorities considering the southern taxa to represent three separate species: white-breasted hawk (""A. chionogaster""), plain-breasted hawk (""A. ventralis""), and rufous-thighed hawk (""A. erythronemius"").

Most colours can exist banded. The first Piebald was reported in 1945. A Piebald is a coloured hamster which has white spots on its body. The spots can be few and small or can cover the hamster. Piebalds can also have coloured bellies. This pattern is hard to breed and is believed by some to be extinct. The dominant spot (Dsds) variety was first"

In addition, ""L. amethystinus"" may constitute two species, but not the violet-throated subspecies ""margaritae"" but the southernmost, red-throated forms are the most distinct ones.

This species of African barbet comprises several races distinguished by different duetting song patters but all have a raucous greeting ceremony. It is the only barbet species to use simultaneous singing during a duet. This species is one of the largest in this genus at 18-19.5 cm (7.1-7.7 inches) in length. It is a black and white type of barbet that has"

First described and given its binomial name by French ornithologist Louis Vieillot in 1817, it was for many years considered a subspecies of the Chilean swallow. The species is monotypic with no known population variations. It has a white streak, or streak above its lores (the region between a bird's eye and nostrils), which can be used to differentiate it from the Chilean swallow. The lores, ear coverts, tail, and wings are black, with white tips on the inner secondaries, tertials, and greater coverts"

Two subspecies are recognized: ""T. p. poliocephalus"" in Cát Bà Island, Vietnam, and ""T. p. leucocephalus"" in Guangxi, China. The former (the nominate subspecies), often known as the golden-headed or Cat Ba langur, is among the rarest primates in the world, and possibly the rarest primate in Asia, with population size estimated at less than 70 individuals. Both subspecies are overall blackish, but the crown, cheeks and neck are yellowish in ""T. p. poliocephalus"", while they are white in ""T. p. leucocephalus"", as suggested by its scientific name."

English zoologist George Robert Gray placed the banded stilt in its own genus ""Cladorhynchus"" in 1840, noting that the name ""Leptorhynchus"" had been previously used.
