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.

Inseparable cabecinegro

El inseparable de collar amarillo (Agapornis personatus) es un pequeño loro restringido a las zonas áridas interiores del norte de Tanzania, caracterizado por su llamativo collar amarillo y frente azul-violácea. Vive en grupos en la sabana arbustiva y es muy popular como ave de compañía, por lo que individuos escapados se han establecido en diversas partes del mundo. Figura como Preocupación Menor (LC) en la Lista Roja de la UICN.
