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.
Napfförmiger Kelchbecherling
Tarzetta cupularis is a small cup fungus in the family Pyronemataceae, producing pale buff to cream-colored, cup-shaped apothecia on disturbed soil, gravel paths, and recently burned ground in temperate forests. Its smooth inner surface contrasts with a finely granular outer surface and short stipe. Assessed as Least Concern, it is a saprotrophic ascomycete found across the temperate Northern Hemisphere.
