• Additional penguin photos and other amazing captures located in Goneforawander's Flickr photo portal.

• Those flamingoes have a tropical flair don't they?  That's because they're in South America. 
  See more in Pedro's Flickr photo portal.

• The Bald Eagle 1 has additional close-ups of rattlesnakes and other crawlies on Flickr.

If seeking that one special species's sound here's a short list of sites I found helpful as I dipped a toe in the world of animal sounds (and audio files):

• SeaWorld

• Animal Pictures Archive

• The British Library's archive

In addition to specific animal calls there's a type of recording that catches the general ambient sounds of nature:  rainfall, dawn on the prairie, birds in the forest, etc. 
I saw these recordings dubbed as soundscapes or ecocasts. Two locations where these can be found:

• British Library

• Wild Sanctuary  ('Over 3,500 hours of wild soundscapes and nearly 15,000 species' - 
  downloadable, free podcasts.)
