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.

diglosa albilátera

El pinchaflorespiancos (Diglossa albilatera) es un picaflores mediano del bosque nuboso andino húmedo y sus bordes, desde Colombia hacia el sur hasta Bolivia. Presenta distintivas manchas blancas en los flancos que contrastan con el plumaje gris-azulado oscuro. Como todos los pinchafloreses, usa su pico ganchudo y ligeramente levantado para perforar la base de flores tubulares y robar el néctar sin polinizarlas, ganándose la reputación de ladrones de néctar. Se encuentra entre los 1.500 y 3.500 metros de altitud y es frecuente en jardines andinos y bordes de bosque.
