common bottlenose dolphin

A espécie de golfinho mais estudada e reconhecida, os roazes habitam oceanos quentes e temperados de todo o mundo, desde águas costeiras rasas até ao mar aberto. Altamente inteligentes com grandes cérebros em relação ao tamanho corporal, demonstram auto-reconhecimento, comunicação complexa e aprendizagem social. Vivem em sociedades fluidas de fissão-fusão e cooperam para arrebanhar peixes. Uma espécie indicadora chave da saúde dos ecossistemas marinhos.

Cambeva

O tubarão-martelo-gigante (Sphyrna mokarran), a maior espécie de tubarão-martelo, atinge até 6 metros e é encontrado em águas costeiras tropicais e subtropicais de todo o mundo. Sua distintiva cabeça em forma de T (cefalofólio) aumenta dramaticamente a área sensorial para eletrorrecepção, permitindo detectar arraias enterradas na areia com precisão excepcional — as arraias são sua presa preferida. Criticamente Em Perigo, com populações que diminuíram drasticamente devido às barbatanas de alto valor e à mortalidade como captura acidental.
