Katharinasittich

One of the smallest New World parrots, barred parakeets inhabit humid montane forests of Central and South America from southern Mexico to western Ecuador at elevations of 1,200–3,000 meters. Their distinctive black-barred plumage on a green background provides excellent canopy camouflage. They form small flocks foraging on seeds and berries, often in bamboo stands. Quiet and unobtrusive for parrots, they remain little studied in the wild and are kept by some aviculturists.

Eisbär

The largest land carnivore on Earth, polar bears can exceed 700 kg and are found across Arctic sea ice from Canada to Russia. Highly specialized marine mammals that rely on sea ice to hunt ringed and bearded seals. Excellent swimmers capable of covering vast distances in open water. Listed as Vulnerable, with populations under severe pressure from rapid Arctic sea ice loss due to climate change.
