feijão-bravo-preto

Church Blossom (Capparidastrum frondosum) is a tropical shrub or small tree in the family Capparaceae (caper family), native to Brazil and Colombia in South America. The genus Capparidastrum comprises Neotropical shrubs and small trees related to the true capers (Capparis), bearing alternate leaves and typically showy flowers with prominent stamens, characteristic of the caper family. C. frondosum is found in lowland to lower montane forest habitats in its Brazilian and Colombian range. Plants in the caper family produce glucosinolates and other secondary metabolites that serve as chemical defenses against herbivory. The flowers of Capparidastrum attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators seeking nectar and pollen. The common name Church Blossom may reference the ornamental appearance of the flowers or their use in religious or ceremonial contexts in local communities. The species has not been formally assessed for conservation status by the IUCN and is listed as Not Evaluated. Tropical forest habitats in Brazil and Colombia are under substantial pressure from deforestation, agricultural expansion, and cattle ranching, which pose potential threats to populations of forest-dependent species like C. frondosum.

pinguim-imperador

O maior pinguim do mundo, os pinguins-imperadores medem até 1,2 metro de altura e pesam 45 kg, habitando o continente antártico em algumas das condições mais extremas da Terra. Reproduzem-se no meio do inverno, na escuridão, a temperaturas abaixo de -60°C, com os machos incubando ovos únicos sobre os pés sob uma bolsa de criação por 65 dias enquanto as fêmeas estão no mar. Seu comportamento de aglomeração — onde os indivíduos revezam-se pelo centro quente de grupos de milhares — é uma obra-prima de sobrevivência cooperativa.
