Collie Jacksonia

<em>Jacksonia velveta</em>, commonly known as Collie Jacksonia, is a plant species belonging to the genus <em>Jacksonia</em> within the family Fabaceae. This species is classified as Endangered, reflecting significant concern over its population status and the ongoing threats it faces within its native range. It has been documented in terrestrial and freshwater-associated habitat types, suggesting association with diverse environmental conditions typical of its region. <em>Jacksonia</em> species are generally shrubs or small trees native to Australia, and members of this genus are frequently found in heathland and woodland communities where they contribute to ground-cover vegetation. Specific country-level records are not detailed in current documentation for this species. Dietary behavior is not applicable to plant organisms; however, like other legumes, <em>Jacksonia velveta</em> may engage in nitrogen fixation through root-associated symbioses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation efforts for Endangered plant species such as <em>Jacksonia velveta</em> typically focus on habitat protection and restoration.

Epaulard

O maior membro da família dos golfinhos, as orcas (Orcinus orca) podem atingir até 9 metros de comprimento e 6 toneladas, sendo encontradas em todos os oceanos, do Ártico ao Antártico. Predadores de topo que vivem em grupos matrilineares com dialetos distintos, estratégias de caça e tradições culturais que diferem entre populações. Algumas populações se especializam em peixes, outras em mamíferos marinhos. Sem predadores naturais, as orcas ocupam o topo de todas as cadeias alimentares marinhas que habitam.
