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.

Cotorra de Kramer

Uno de los loros mas ampliamente distribuidos e invasores del mundo, los cotorras de collar son nativos del Africa subsahariana y el sur de Asia, pero han establecido grandes poblaciones asilvestradas en mas de 35 paises de Europa, America del Norte, Japon y Australia tras escapes de aves en cautiverio. Los machos poseen un distintivo collar de color rosa y negro. Muy adaptables y prolificos, las poblaciones urbanas se han multiplicado en ciudades como Londres, Amsterdam y Bruselas, donde se agrupan en enormes bandadas y compiten con aves nidificadoras en cavidades nativas.
