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.
Ledergelber Schwindling
Marasmius torquescens is a small, saprotrophic agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae, assessed as Least Concern (LC). It produces tough, wiry-stemmed fruiting bodies that can revive after desiccation, a characteristic trait of the genus. It grows on decaying leaf litter and woody debris in woodland environments.
