Picolanza Frentiverde

El colibrí lancero de frente verde (Doryfera ludovicae) es un colibrí de tamaño mediano con un pico distintivamente largo y ligeramente curvado hacia arriba. Habita el estrato medio del húmedo bosque montano nublado de los Andes, desde Costa Rica a través de Colombia y Ecuador hasta Bolivia, a elevaciones de 1.000 a 2.400 metros. Su alargado pico está especializado para explorar las largas flores tubulares de Centropogon y otras campánulas andinas inaccesibles para colibríes de pico más corto. Los machos son verde brillante en todo el cuerpo; las hembras tienen las partes inferiores con manchas blancas. Clasificado como Preocupación Menor.

Green Sea Turtle

La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.
