azedinha

<em>Rumex acetosella</em>, the common sheep sorrel, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Polygonaceae, order Caryophyllales, with one of the widest natural and naturalized distributions of any plant species, found across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. This species typically colonizes acidic, nutrient-poor, and disturbed soils including heathlands, grasslands, meadows, and roadsides, where it can form dense stands. <em>Rumex acetosella</em> is dioecious, with separate male and female plants, and produces small reddish flowers in branched racemes. The leaves have a distinctly sour taste due to oxalic acid content, which has historically led to limited culinary and folk medicinal use. Its IUCN status is Not Evaluated, reflecting the relatively low priority assigned to widespread and abundant species. Biological traits for this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, including precise data on average individual lifespan, typical plant height and weight at maturity, and detailed dietary or herbivory associations, though its general ecology as an acidophile and colonizer of disturbed habitats is well documented.

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.
