Africano

El gran tiburón blanco es el pez depredador más grande de la Tierra, capaz de alcanzar 6 metros de longitud y 2.000 kg de peso, habitando aguas costeras y oceánicas frescas en todos los océanos principales. Son depredadores de alto nivel que emplean ataques en emboscada desde abajo, dirigidos principalmente a mamíferos marinos, peces de gran tamaño y aves marinas. A pesar de su temible reputación, los ataques no provocados a humanos son extremadamente raros. Está clasificado como Vulnerable (VU), con poblaciones en declive por la pesca de aletas, la captura incidental y la pesca dirigida, a pesar de las protecciones legales vigentes en muchas jurisdicciones.

Miná Acollarado

The Collared Myna, known scientifically as <em>Acridotheres albocinctus</em>, is a passerine bird belonging to the starling family Sturnidae. <em>Acridotheres albocinctus</em> is recognised by its contrasting plumage, which typically features a dark body with a distinct white collar or band — a feature reflected in both its common and scientific names. As a member of the myna genus Acridotheres, this species generally inhabits open woodland, grassland edges, and areas associated with human settlement, where it forages on the ground for invertebrates, fruits, and seeds. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Myna is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is considered stable without significant conservation concerns at this time.
