ours blanc

The largest land carnivore on Earth, polar bears can exceed 700 kg and are found across Arctic sea ice from Canada to Russia. Highly specialized marine mammals that rely on sea ice to hunt ringed and bearded seals. Excellent swimmers capable of covering vast distances in open water. Listed as Vulnerable, with populations under severe pressure from rapid Arctic sea ice loss due to climate change.

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.
