Clawed enope squid
The Clawed Enope Squid, Ancistrocheirus lesueurii, is a medium-sized oceanic squid in the family Ancistrocheiridae found in mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. It is the sole species in its family, representing a phylogenetically isolated lineage of deep-sea squids. The species is characterized by powerful, hook-bearing tentacles used to capture prey, an adaptation reflected in its common name. The mantle is muscular and elongated, bearing lateral fins, and the arms bear suckers modified into sharp hooks in adults. Ancistrocheirus lesueurii performs diel vertical migrations, ascending toward the surface at night and retreating to deeper waters during daylight hours. It is a voracious predator of fish and other squids, and is in turn preyed upon by sperm whales, large pelagic fishes, and sharks. Bioluminescent photophores are present on the body and arms, likely functioning in counterillumination or signaling. As a mesopelagic species distributed throughout major ocean basins, the Clawed Enope Squid contributes significantly to vertical carbon transport in marine ecosystems, processing organic material from surface waters and redistributing it at depth. Population status is unknown; the species has not been assessed by IUCN. It is occasionally recovered in the stomach contents of top predators and from deep-sea trawl surveys.
Rufous-tailed Hummingbird
붉은꼬리벌새(Amazilia tzacatl)는 중앙아메리카와 남아메리카 북서부에서 가장 흔한 벌새 중 하나로, 녹색 상체와 선명한 적갈색 꼬리가 특징인 중형 종이다. 멕시코에서 에콰도르, 트리니다드까지 해발 0~2,100m의 숲 가장자리, 정원, 농장, 2차 성장림 등 다양한 서식지에서 발견된다. 먹이 식물과 급이대에서 영역을 적극적으로 방어하며, 서식 범위 전역의 정원에서 자주 목격된다. IUCN 관심필요종이다.
