Question: What is it about these specific animals that makes the author think that they are the most amazing animals?
Comment: I really didn't understand what about these two species that made the author write so extremely about them, he made it seem like they were the best species ever.

Question: What is a buzzard?
Comment: This quote confused me because I didn't know what a buzzard is, if it was a type of fish or a dead bee.
I think you have some good questions and luckily most of these things can be researched fairly easily. As for the albino question, I think they mean that if the pigment is lighter than that species pigment normally is. Also, a buzzard is a type of bird, it's basically a volture.
