Common Forget-Me-Not

<em>Myosotis arvensis</em> is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant in the family Boraginaceae, order Boraginales, commonly known as the field forget-me-not or common forget-me-not. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with widespread stable populations. <em>Myosotis arvensis</em> has a cosmopolitan distribution, recorded across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, where it has been widely naturalized beyond its native European and West Asian range. The plant typically grows in disturbed habitats including arable fields, roadsides, gardens, hedgerows, and open woodland, tolerating a broad range of soil types. It produces characteristic small, sky-blue five-petaled flowers with a yellow center, borne on curved, scorpioid cymes that straighten as the flowers open — a feature typical of the borage family. The plant typically reaches 15 to 40 centimeters in height and is covered in soft, spreading hairs. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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.
