Sienabrauner Kelchstäubling

Arcyria incarnata is a brightly coloured myxomycete (slime mould) producing dense clusters of pink to flesh-coloured, cylindrical sporangia on decaying wood and plant litter in forest habitats. During its vegetative phase it exists as a motile plasmodium feeding on bacteria, fungi, and organic particles. This species is found worldwide in moist, shaded woodland environments with abundant dead wood.

Schwertwal

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.
