Clovenlip toadflax

Clovenlip toadflax refers to a flowering plant in the genus Linaria (family Plantaginaceae, formerly Scrophulariaceae) distinguished by the characteristic two-lipped or cloven flower structure typical of the toadflax genus. Toadflaxes produce snapdragon-like flowers with an upper and lower lip structure, an orange-tipped palate closing the throat of the corolla, and a long nectar spur at the base of the corolla tube. The clovenlip epithet likely references an especially pronounced or distinctly divided lip structure in this species compared to typical toadflaxes. Linaria species inhabit a range of open, often disturbed habitats including rocky slopes, sandy soils, old walls, dry grasslands, and roadsides across Europe, the Mediterranean region, and western Asia. Several annual and perennial species are known for their rapid colonization of disturbed ground. The flowers of many Linaria species are pollinated by bumblebees strong enough to force open the closed throat, rewarding them with nectar from the spur. Some toadflax species are considered agricultural weeds in cereal crops and disturbed habitats, while others are prized as wildflowers and garden ornamentals.

Orca común

El mayor miembro de la familia de los delfínidos, la orca (Orcinus orca) puede alcanzar hasta 9 metros de longitud y 6 toneladas de peso, y se encuentra en todos los océanos desde el Ártico hasta el Antártico. Es un depredador apex que vive en grupos matrilineales con dialectos distintos, estrategias de caza y tradiciones culturales que difieren entre poblaciones. Algunas poblaciones se especializan en peces, otras en mamíferos marinos. Sin depredadores naturales, las orcas ocupan la cima de todas las cadenas tróficas marinas que habitan.
