papoula

<em>Papaver somniferum</em>, commonly known as the common garden poppy or opium poppy, is an annual herbaceous plant in the family Papaveraceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, reflecting both its native range across parts of the Mediterranean and Middle East and its widespread cultivation and naturalization globally. The species typically grows in disturbed habitats, agricultural fields, roadsides, and gardens, and is widely cultivated both ornamentally and for the production of poppy seed and medicinal alkaloids. <em>Papaver somniferum</em> produces large, showy flowers in a range of colors from white to purple, followed by characteristic globose seed capsules. Its distribution is noted as not evaluated for conservation status. The species has deep historical and cultural significance across many human societies. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. As a broadly distributed and heavily cultivated plant, <em>Papaver somniferum</em> supports a range of pollinators and has become naturalized in many regions far beyond its original native range.

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.
