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.

ermitaño leonado

Un gran colibri ermitano de los bosques humedos de las estribaciones andinas de Peru, Ecuador y Colombia, el ermitano de vientre leonado presenta partes inferiores de tono ocre calido que contrastan con la parte superior verde bronceada y un pico largo y fuertemente curvado. Se encuentra entre 300 y 1.500 metros de altitud en el sotobosque del bosque montano. Como todos los grandes ermitanos, es un forrajeador de rutas fijas que visita largas trayectorias de flores muy espaciadas. Los machos se congregan en sitios de lek tradicionales donde producen vocalizaciones fuertes y repetitivas para atraer a las hembras.
