Common Fumitory

<em>Fumaria officinalis</em>, commonly known as common fumitory, is an annual herbaceous plant in the family Papaveraceae. It has a very wide global distribution spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, reflecting its success as a weedy colonizer of disturbed habitats. The species typically grows in cultivated fields, roadsides, gardens, and waste ground, tolerating a broad range of soil types and conditions. <em>Fumaria officinalis</em> produces small pinkish-purple tubular flowers and finely divided, glaucous foliage that gives the plant a delicate, smoke-like appearance — a characteristic reflected in its common name. It is assessed as Least Concern, consistent with its extensive cosmopolitan distribution and abundance in human-modified landscapes. The plant has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine across parts of its native range. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Despite its weedy character, <em>Fumaria officinalis</em> provides food resources for certain specialist insects and contributes to ground flora diversity in agricultural and disturbed environments.

Tigre

El felino mas grande del mundo, el tigre puede superar los 300 kg y habita bosques desde el Extremo Oriente ruso hasta el Sudeste Asiatico. Es un depredador solitario de emboscada con su caracteristico pelaje naranja y negro a rayas que proporciona camuflaje entre la luz filtrada. Esta en Peligro Critico, con menos de 4.000 individuos que quedan en estado silvestre debido a la caza furtiva y la deforestacion.
