Ballena jorobada

Entre las ballenas grandes más acrobáticas, las ballenas jorobadas son célebres por sus complejos y estremecedores cantos entonados por los machos durante la temporada reproductiva, que pueden durar horas y evolucionar con el tiempo. Alcanzando 16 metros y 30 toneladas, realizan las migraciones más largas de cualquier mamífero. Se encuentran en todos los océanos y se alimentan de krill y peces pequeños mediante la técnica cooperativa de pesca con red de burbujas.

Camarophyllopsis phaeophylla es un hongo extraordinariamente raro, pequeño y de sombrero oscuro, encontrado en prados antiguos y no mejorados de Europa. Se considera uno de los indicadores más fiables de los prados de Hygrocybe, hábitats de extraordinario valor para la biodiversidad. En Peligro Crítico, esta especie está en grave riesgo por la intensificación agrícola, la aplicación de fertilizantes y la pérdida de la gestión tradicional de prados de heno.
