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.

Scharfer Glanz-Täubling

Russula firmula is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom in the family Russulaceae, producing firm-fleshed fruitbodies with a compact, brittle texture characteristic of the genus. It forms mycorrhizal associations with conifers, particularly in boreal and montane forest ecosystems. Assessed as Data Deficient, little is known about its precise distribution and population ecology across its European range.
