Mango Gorginegro

Un colibrí grande y llamativo de los bosques tropicales desde el sur de México hasta Argentina, los mangos gorginegros presentan un marcado dimorfismo sexual: los machos exhiben una garganta y pecho negro brillante con flancos violáceos y verdes y una llamativa cola morada, mientras que las hembras son blancas por debajo con una franja negra central. Habitan bordes de bosque, claros y jardines, donde defienden agresivamente los árboles en floración. Los machos realizan espectaculares vuelos de exhibición a la altura del dosel forestal. Catalogada como Preocupación Menor en toda su amplia área de distribución neotropical.

Green Sea Turtle

La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.
