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.
Purpurbrauner Schirmling
Lepiota fuscovinacea is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a dark, vinaceous-brown scaly cap and a pale stipe, belonging to a genus known to contain deadly amatoxins in many species. It grows in deciduous and mixed forests across temperate Europe, typically under broadleaf trees. Classified as Endangered, this toxic species is threatened by habitat loss and the decline of old-growth woodland habitats.
