Траурная вьюрковая овсянка

A small, boldly patterned seedeater with striking black-and-white plumage in males — jet black upper parts and wings contrasting with white underparts — black-and-white seedeaters inhabit open and semi-open habitats including grassland, forest edge, and plantation shade in the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia. One of the more distinctively patterned Sporophila seedeaters. Females are plain brown and buff. They forage on grass seeds and are sometimes kept as cage birds for the males' patterning and song.

Горбатый кит

Among the most acrobatic of the great whales, humpback whales are renowned for their complex, haunting songs sung by males during breeding season — some lasting hours and evolving over time. Reaching 16 meters and 30 tonnes, they undertake the longest migrations of any mammal. Found in all oceans, humpbacks feed on krill and small fish using cooperative bubble-net feeding. Populations have largely recovered from historic whaling.
