Grosse Tümmler, Grosstümmler

The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.

Bronzeflügeltaube

The common bronzewing (<em>Phaps chalcoptera</em>) is a medium-sized ground-dwelling pigeon with records from Norway, though it is primarily an Australian species with a range spanning various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic habitats. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting stable population numbers across its range. As a member of the family Columbidae, the common bronzewing is typically recognized by the iridescent bronze and green patches on its wings, which shimmer in sunlight. The species often inhabits a wide variety of environments, including eucalyptus woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and areas near water sources. The common bronzewing typically feeds on seeds, grasses, and other plant material foraged from the ground. It is often seen drinking at waterholes and watercourses, and is known for its distinctive hooting call. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
