Baleia jubarte

Entre as baleias grandes mais acrobáticas, as baleias-jubarte são famosas por seus cantos complexos e evocativos entoados pelos machos durante a temporada reprodutiva, podendo durar horas e evoluir ao longo do tempo. Atingindo 16 metros e 30 toneladas, realizam as migrações mais longas de qualquer mamífero. Encontradas em todos os oceanos, alimentam-se de krill e peixes pequenos usando a técnica cooperativa de rede de bolhas.

Collared Babbler

<em>Gampsorhynchus torquatus</em>, the Collared Babbler, is a bird in the family Timaliidae or Leiothrichidae, depending on the classification authority. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is native to South and Southeast Asia, occurring in countries such as India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and the Malay Peninsula, inhabiting bamboo thickets, forest edges, and scrub habitats. The genus <em>Gampsorhynchus</em> comprises a small number of babbler species known for their distinctive calls and social behavior. The Collared Babbler is named for the collar pattern in its plumage. Diet information, population estimates, and biological measurements including average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in the available data. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The species occupies aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments within its range. Its Least Concern designation reflects that populations are not currently considered at elevated extinction risk, though habitat degradation in its Southeast Asian range may pose longer-term concerns.
