Commander skate

<em>Bathyraja lindbergi</em>, commonly known as the Commander Skate, is a cartilaginous fish belonging to the family Arhynchobatidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the genus Bathyraja, the Commander Skate is a deep-water elasmobranch that typically inhabits the cold, benthic environments of the North Pacific Ocean, often found at considerable depths along continental shelves and slopes. Like other skates, it typically has a flattened, disc-shaped body well adapted for life on or near the seafloor, where it forages for bottom-dwelling prey including small fish, crustaceans, and invertebrates. Reproduction in Bathyraja skates generally involves oviparous egg-laying, with females depositing eggs enclosed in protective cases. The species is occasionally encountered as bycatch in commercial fisheries operating in its range. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Long-tailed Sylph

긴꼬리실프(Aglaiocercus kingii)는 가장 화려하게 장식된 벌새 중 하나로, 수컷은 금속빛 녹색 깃털과 22cm에 달하는 리본 모양의 길게 늘어난 바깥 꼬리 깃털을 가지며 이는 몸 길이의 세 배를 넘는다. 콜롬비아와 베네수엘라의 안데스 구름 숲 해발 1,400~2,800m에 서식하며, 수컷은 암컷을 유혹하기 위해 정교한 과시 비행을 수행한다. 화려한 꼬리는 암컷의 선택에 의한 성적 선택의 고전적인 사례다.
