Common Cone-headed Grasshopper

<em>Acrida ungarica</em>, commonly known as the common cone-headed grasshopper, is a large grasshopper in the family Acrididae. This species is notable for its distinctively elongated, conical head that gives it a slender, streamlined appearance. It typically inhabits open grasslands, meadows, scrublands, and the margins of wetlands, where tall grasses provide both food and cover. <em>Acrida ungarica</em> is a phytophagous species that feeds primarily on grasses and other herbaceous plants. Its coloration varies from green to brownish-yellow, offering effective camouflage in its grassy habitat. The species is distributed across parts of Europe and western Asia. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with no major threats identified to its populations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Common Seal

가장 널리 분포하는 기각류인 항구물범(Phoca vitulina)은 북대서양과 북태평양 양쪽의 온대 및 아북극 연안에 서식한다. 성체는 최대 130kg에 달하며 바다에서 어류·오징어·갑각류를 사냥하고 해변이나 바위 위에서 쉬며 비슷한 시간을 보낸다. 크고 표정 풍부한 눈은 저조도 수중 시야에 적응되어 있다. 범고래·상어·북극곰의 중요한 먹이원이다.
