Christmas bells (Blandfordia grandiflora) is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Blandfordiaceae, endemic to eastern Australia. It is one of four species in the genus Blandfordia, all restricted to Australia, and is perhaps the most widely recognized, flowering during the summer months of the Southern Hemisphere, which correspond to the Christmas season. The species produces striking pendulous, bell-shaped flowers in red and yellow, borne on upright stems emerging from tufted grass-like leaves. It grows primarily in coastal and near-coastal heathlands and wet sedgelands of New South Wales and southern Queensland, favoring waterlogged, nutrient-poor soils. Christmas bells are adapted to fire-prone ecosystems and often flower most prolifically following fire events that stimulate regeneration. The flowers are visited by honeyeaters and other nectarivorous birds, which serve as pollinators. Historically, Christmas bells were widely collected as cut flowers, and this exploitation significantly reduced some populations. Today, the species is protected under New South Wales legislation, and collection from the wild is prohibited. Habitat loss from urban expansion and altered hydrology also affects populations. The plant has cultural significance in Australia as a symbol of the summer Christmas season.

Polar bear

O maior carnivoro terrestre da Terra, o urso-polar pode ultrapassar 700 kg e e encontrado pelo gelo marinho artico, do Canada ate a Russia. Mamiferos marinhos altamente especializados que dependem do gelo marinho para cacas de focas e focas-barbadas. Excelentes nadadores capazes de percorrer grandes distancias em aguas abertas. Classificado como Vulneravel, com populacoes sob severa pressao devido a rapida perda de gelo marinho artico causada pelas mudancas climaticas.
