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.

cigarrinha-do-norte

O cigarra-pizarra (Sporophila schistacea) e um pequeno coleiro de coloracao azul-ardosia nos machos, com bico palido, que habita pastagens abertas, savanas e bordas de floresta desde a Nicaragua ate a Bolivia ao longo do flanco pacifico da America do Sul. Forrageiam em pequenos bandos sobre sementes de gramineas. Como muitos Sporophila, sofre pressao pela captura para o comercio de aves de gaiola e pela perda de habitat devido a conversao de pastagens.
