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.

Zerbrechlicher Fälbling

Hebeloma fragilipes is a small, slender-stemmed mushroom with a pale brown to ochre cap and a distinctively fragile stipe, giving rise to its species name. It grows in grasslands, heathlands, and woodland edges across Europe, forming mycorrhizal associations with various trees and shrubs. Like many Hebeloma species, it produces a faint radish-like odor and is considered mildly toxic.
