Commerson s Dolphin

<em>Cephalorhynchus commersonii</em>, commonly known as Commerson's Dolphin, is a small cetacean in the family Delphinidae. This species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List and is notable for its striking black-and-white coloration, which makes it one of the most visually distinctive dolphin species. Commerson's Dolphins typically inhabit coastal and nearshore marine environments of the Southern Hemisphere, particularly around the Falkland Islands, the southern tip of South America, and a geographically isolated population near the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean. These dolphins are highly social animals, often observed in small groups engaging in acrobatic behaviors near the surface. They typically feed on fish, squid, and crustaceans, often hunting cooperatively in shallow waters and kelp beds. Their average lifespan is approximately 18 years, and they are known for their fast, energetic swimming. Commerson's Dolphins are sometimes caught as bycatch in fishing nets, posing a localized conservation concern despite their overall Least Concern status.

cerejeira-branca

O símbolo por excelência da primavera no Japão, as cerejeiras japonesas produzem efêmeras nuvens de flores brancas e rosas a cada primavera — um evento cultural chamado hanami (contemplação das flores) celebrado há séculos. Atingindo até 25 metros, foram domesticadas a partir de espécies silvestres de Prunus ao longo de mais de um milênio de cultivo seletivo, produzindo principalmente variedades ornamentais estéreis que se propagam por enxertia. Mais de 200 cultivares são reconhecidos, sendo o Somei Yoshino responsável pela maioria das famosas alamedas de cerejeiras do Japão.
