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.

Crowned Woodnymph

Um beija-flor deslumbrantemente colorido das florestas tropicais da América Central e norte da América do Sul, os machos da ninfa-coroada exibem uma coroa púrpura cintilante e babeiro peitoral transitando para verde reluzente no peito inferior, com uma cauda profundamente bifurcada de cor violeta-azul. Habitam florestas húmidas de terras baixas e encostas desde a Guatemala até ao Equador em altitudes até 1.400 metros. Agressivos e de voo rápido, os machos defendem vigorosamente territórios de flores ricas em néctar contra intrusos.
