sepieta común

The common bobtail (<em>Sepietta oweniana</em>) is a small cephalopod mollusc found in the coastal waters of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. This species typically inhabits European marine ecosystems, often occupying shallow to moderately deep benthic environments along the coastline. As a member of the family Sepiolidae, the common bobtail is a squid-like creature well adapted to life on or near the seafloor. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a stable population status across its European range. The species often uses cryptic coloration and burrowing behavior to avoid predation in its marine habitats. It is typically a carnivore, feeding on small crustaceans and fish, and is itself an important prey species for larger marine predators in the North Sea and surrounding waters. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

silfo coliverde

El silfo coliazul (Aglaiocercus kingii) es uno de los colibríes con mayor ornamentación, y los machos presentan plumaje verde iridiscente junto con timoneras externas dramáticamente alargadas, en forma de cintas, que alcanzan hasta 22 cm, más de tres veces la longitud del cuerpo. Habita los bosques nublados andinos de Colombia y Venezuela, en bosques montanos húmedos entre los 1.400 y los 2.800 metros de altitud. Los machos realizan elaborados vuelos de exhibición para atraer a las hembras. Sus exuberantes colas son un ejemplo clásico de selección sexual por preferencia femenina.
