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.

Douglasien-Röhrling

Suillus amabilis is a mycorrhizal bolete mushroom in the family Suillaceae, forming symbiotic associations with conifers, particularly pines. It produces colorful fruitbodies with a slimy cap surface and pores instead of gills on the underside, characteristic of the genus. Its mycorrhizal relationship is essential for nutrient exchange between fungus and host tree in forest ecosystems.
