sorgo negro

<em>Sorghum almum</em>, commonly known as Columbus grass, is a robust perennial grass in the family Poaceae. It thrives in disturbed habitats, roadsides, agricultural margins, and open grasslands, demonstrating a strong preference for warm climates and well-drained soils. The species has been introduced and naturalized across many tropical and subtropical regions beyond its original South American range, and is cultivated in parts of Africa, Asia, and Australia as a forage grass. It produces tall, erect culms that can reach several meters in height, bearing broad leaf blades and open, branching panicles with numerous spikelets. Columbus grass is valued for livestock fodder but is also regarded as an invasive weed in certain agricultural contexts due to its vigorous growth and capacity for vegetative spread via rhizomes. Biological metrics including lifespan, length, and weight data are not available in the current record.

Delfín de Commerson

<em>Cephalorhynchus commersonii</em>, commonly known as Commerson's Dolphin, is a small cetacean in the family Delphinidae. This species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List and is notable for its striking black-and-white coloration, which makes it one of the most visually distinctive dolphin species. Commerson's Dolphins typically inhabit coastal and nearshore marine environments of the Southern Hemisphere, particularly around the Falkland Islands, the southern tip of South America, and a geographically isolated population near the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean. These dolphins are highly social animals, often observed in small groups engaging in acrobatic behaviors near the surface. They typically feed on fish, squid, and crustaceans, often hunting cooperatively in shallow waters and kelp beds. Their average lifespan is approximately 18 years, and they are known for their fast, energetic swimming. Commerson's Dolphins are sometimes caught as bycatch in fishing nets, posing a localized conservation concern despite their overall Least Concern status.
