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.

Östlicher Bunthalskolibri

A tiny, inconspicuous hummingbird of humid forests and forest edges in the Andes and northern South America, wedge-billed hummingbirds have a distinctive short, wedge-shaped bill adapted to short-tubed flowers of the Heliconia genus. They inhabit elevations from lowland to 2,400 meters, often foraging in the understory of dense cloud forest. Males have subtle green and bronze-green iridescent plumage. They frequently hover in the shade of the forest floor, making them difficult to observe.
