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.

Stemonitopsis gracilis is a slender-stalked myxomycete producing delicate, thread-like sporangia with a graceful columella and fine capillitium, growing on decaying plant material in moist forest habitats. Its fruiting bodies are among the most elegant of all slime mould species. This organism is distributed widely across humid temperate and tropical forests.
