iora-d'asa-escura

<em>Aegithina tiphia</em>, commonly known as the common iora, is a small passerine bird in the family Aegithinidae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is recorded in Norway and occupies a variety of aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environmental zones, reflecting its use of diverse habitats including gardens, forests, mangroves, and scrubland across South and Southeast Asia. The common iora is notable for the striking breeding plumage of males, which display bright yellow and black coloration. It typically forages in tree canopies, gleaning insects from foliage. Diet information beyond general insectivory is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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.
