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.
Halsbandsittich
One of the world's most widespread and invasive parrots, rose-ringed parakeets are native to Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia but have established large feral populations in over 35 countries across Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia following cage bird escapes. Males bear a distinctive pink-and-black neck ring. Highly adaptable and prolific, urban populations have exploded in cities like London, Amsterdam, and Brussels, where they roost in enormous flocks and compete with native cavity-nesting birds.
