blue whale

O maior animal que já viveu na Terra, as baleias-azuis podem atingir 33 metros e 200 toneladas — seus corações sozinhos pesam tanto quanto um carro pequeno. Encontradas em todos os oceanos, migram entre áreas de alimentação polares e áreas de reprodução tropicais. Filtradores que consomem até 4 toneladas de krill diariamente. Em perigo, com populações globais estimadas em 10.000–25.000 após a quase extinção causada pela caça baleeira no século XX.

iora-d'asa-escura

<em>Aegithina tiphia</em>, commonly known as the common iora, is a small passerine bird in the family Aegithinidae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is recorded in Norway and occupies a variety of aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environmental zones, reflecting its use of diverse habitats including gardens, forests, mangroves, and scrubland across South and Southeast Asia. The common iora is notable for the striking breeding plumage of males, which display bright yellow and black coloration. It typically forages in tree canopies, gleaning insects from foliage. Diet information beyond general insectivory is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
