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.

Epaulard

The largest member of the dolphin family, orcas reach up to 9 meters and 6 tonnes and are found in every ocean from Arctic to Antarctic. Apex predators living in matrilineal pods with distinct dialects, hunting strategies, and cultural traditions that differ between populations. Some populations specialize in fish, others in marine mammals. No natural predators; orcas sit at the top of every marine food chain they inhabit.
