Schwertwal

The largest member of the dolphin family, orcas reach up to 9 meters and 6 tonnes and are found in every ocean from Arctic to Antarctic. Apex predators living in matrilineal pods with distinct dialects, hunting strategies, and cultural traditions that differ between populations. Some populations specialize in fish, others in marine mammals. No natural predators; orcas sit at the top of every marine food chain they inhabit.

Bereiftknolliger Risspilz

Inocybe tjallingiorum is a small to medium-sized fibrecap mushroom with a fibrous, silky brown cap and gills that mature to brownish tones, growing in ectomycorrhizal association with deciduous trees in European forests. Like most Inocybe species, it is considered toxic and should not be consumed. Its distribution centres on temperate European woodlands with mature trees.
