Bagwhale

A baleia-bolsa (Berardius minimus) é uma baleia-bicuda de porte médio do Pacífico Norte, reconhecida recentemente como espécie distinta por meio de estudos genéticos e morfológicos. Seu estado de conservação é de dados insuficientes (DD), e seus hábitos em águas profundas tornam muito difícil a realização de censos sistemáticos da população.

Cambeba

The common hammerhead, <em>Sphyrna zygaena</em>, is a cartilaginous fish belonging to the order Carcharhiniformes, family Sphyrnidae. This species is typically found in marine environments and has a distribution that includes the waters of Chile, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden, and Taiwan, reflecting a wide range across both Atlantic and Pacific Ocean systems. As a hammerhead shark, <em>Sphyrna zygaena</em> possesses the characteristic cephalofoil, the laterally expanded head structure that provides enhanced sensory capabilities and hydrodynamic benefits. Hammerhead sharks are generally known to be active, wide-ranging predators within marine ecosystems. No dietary information has been provided for this specific species in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
