common bottlenose dolphin

The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.

Common Green Frog/Green Paddy Frog/Leaf Frog

<em>Hylarana erythraea</em>, commonly known as the common green frog, green paddy frog, or leaf frog, is an amphibian belonging to the genus Hylarana within the family Ranidae. This species inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests and coniferous forests within the Indomalayan realm, and is also found in montane and highland environments. Its documented range includes Brunei and the Philippines, reflecting a distribution across island Southeast Asia. Common green frog is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically occupies vegetation near standing or slow-moving water, where it is often found perching on leaves and stems above the water surface, a behavior consistent with its common name. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
