Green Sea Turtle

A tartaruga-verde (Chelonia mydas) é uma das maiores tartarugas marinhas. Seu nome vem da cor verde da cartilagem e gordura, não do casco.

pavão-azul

Nativo do subcontinente indiano e introduzido amplamente, o pavão-indiano (Pavo cristatus) é uma ave grande e pesada — os machos (pavões) atingem 2,3 metros incluindo suas espetaculares caudas iridescentes de até 150 penas. Os elaborados padrões de ocelos da cauda são o produto da seleção sexual pelas peahen, que avaliam a qualidade do macho pelo comprimento e simetria da cauda. Os machos exibem e vibram suas penas em dramáticos rituais de cortejo. É a ave nacional da Índia.
