Silberbrauen-Bergtangare

A medium-sized mountain tanager of Andean cloud forests, buff-breasted mountain tanagers have warm buff-orange underparts contrasting with deep blue-black upper parts and wings, creating a striking warm-cool color contrast. Found in humid montane forest at elevations of 2,000–3,600 meters from Venezuela south to Bolivia. They inhabit forest interior and edge, foraging in pairs and small groups on fruit and insects in the mid-canopy. They often join mixed-species flocks. Listed as Least Concern.

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.
