common bubble snail

The common bubble snail (<em>Akera bullata</em>) is a marine gastropod mollusc found in the coastal waters of Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. This species typically inhabits terrestrial and aquatic environments including forests and freshwater-adjacent marine areas, often occurring in shallow subtidal and intertidal zones of temperate European seas. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the family Akeridae, the common bubble snail is characterized by its thin, fragile shell and its ability to swim briefly by flapping its large, wing-like parapodia. The species often forages on algae and detritus in sandy and muddy seafloor habitats, particularly in sheltered bays and estuaries. The common bubble snail typically aggregates in large numbers during the spawning season, producing gelatinous egg masses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Leopardo

El leopardo es un gran felino muy adaptable con la distribución geográfica más amplia de todos los félidos, presente en Africa, Oriente Medio y el sur de Asia en hábitats que van desde la selva tropical hasta el desierto. Solitario y principalmente nocturno, el leopardo es un poderoso trepador que almacena sus presas en los árboles. Los individuos melanísticos, los panteras negras, son comunes en poblaciones de bosques densos. Clasificado como Vulnerable a nivel global.
