Blauwal
The largest animal ever known to have lived on Earth, blue whales can reach 33 meters and 200 tonnes — their hearts alone weigh as much as a small car. Found in all oceans, they migrate between polar feeding grounds and tropical breeding areas. Filter feeders consuming up to 4 tonnes of krill daily. Endangered, with global populations estimated at 10,000–25,000 after near-extinction from 20th-century whaling.
Dicksporige Rauschbeer-Nacktbas.
Exobasidium pachysporum is a parasitic fungus that infects host plants, causing distinctive gall-like deformations on leaves and stems. It inhabits temperate regions where its specific host plants occur, typically in moist woodland environments. The fungus completes its life cycle within living plant tissue, producing spores on distorted host surfaces.
