Толстоклювый попугай Катерины

One of the smallest New World parrots, barred parakeets inhabit humid montane forests of Central and South America from southern Mexico to western Ecuador at elevations of 1,200–3,000 meters. Their distinctive black-barred plumage on a green background provides excellent canopy camouflage. They form small flocks foraging on seeds and berries, often in bamboo stands. Quiet and unobtrusive for parrots, they remain little studied in the wild and are kept by some aviculturists.

blue whale

The largest animal ever known to have lived on Earth, blue whales can reach 33 meters and 200 tonnes — their hearts alone weigh as much as a small car. Found in all oceans, they migrate between polar feeding grounds and tropical breeding areas. Filter feeders consuming up to 4 tonnes of krill daily. Endangered, with global populations estimated at 10,000–25,000 after near-extinction from 20th-century whaling.
