Buckelwal

혹등고래는 대형 고래 중 가장 활발한 곡예를 선보이는 종으로, 번식기에 수컷이 부르는 복잡하고 신비로운 노래로 유명합니다. 일부는 몇 시간씩 지속되며 시간이 지남에 따라 진화합니다. 체장 16미터, 체중 30톤에 달하며 포유류 중 가장 긴 이주를 수행합니다. 모든 대양에서 발견되며 크릴과 작은 물고기를 협동 거품그물 먹이 방식으로 포식합니다. 과거 포경으로 크게 감소했던 개체군이 대부분 회복되었습니다.

Collared Treepie

The Collared Treepie, known scientifically as <em>Dendrocitta frontalis</em>, is a corvid belonging to the family Corvidae. <em>Dendrocitta frontalis</em> is a member of the treepie group — arboreal corvids found in Asian forests — and is characterised by its long graduated tail, colourful plumage, and bold behaviour typical of the crow family. The species typically inhabits dense subtropical and tropical montane forest environments, where it forages in the canopy and mid-storey for fruits, insects, eggs, and other food items. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Treepies are generally noisy and active birds, moving through forest with rapid hops and flights. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Treepie is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
