Talégalle de Jobi

<em>Talegalla jobiensis</em>, the Collared Brushturkey, is a megapode in the family Megapodiidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is native to New Guinea, occurring in lowland and hill forests where it is typically found in dense rainforest habitats. Megapodes are notable for their unique thermoregulatory breeding strategy: instead of incubating eggs with body heat, they construct large mounds of organic material in which eggs are buried and incubated by the heat generated by decomposing vegetation. <em>Talegalla jobiensis</em> belongs to a group of brushturkeys restricted to the Australasian region. Diet information typically includes invertebrates, seeds, and fallen fruit foraged from the forest floor, as is common in megapodes, though specific diet data for this species are not enumerated in available records. Biological measurements including average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in available data. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its Least Concern status reflects stable populations within its New Guinea range.

orque

The largest member of the dolphin family, orcas reach up to 9 meters and 6 tonnes and are found in every ocean from Arctic to Antarctic. Apex predators living in matrilineal pods with distinct dialects, hunting strategies, and cultural traditions that differ between populations. Some populations specialize in fish, others in marine mammals. No natural predators; orcas sit at the top of every marine food chain they inhabit.
