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.

Bec-en-faucille aigle

A large hermit hummingbird of humid forests in Central America and northwestern South America, white-tipped sicklebills possess dramatically curved, sickle-shaped bills precisely adapted to extract nectar from the strongly curved flowers of Heliconia plants — a textbook example of plant-pollinator coevolution. They travel systematic trap-line routes through dense humid forest, visiting the same flower patches daily. Both sexes share the sickle-bill, and they sing persistent, repetitive songs from forest undergrowth.
