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.
Розовогрудый кольчатый попугай
A medium-sized parakeet with rosy-red breast and cheek patches contrasting with green and grey plumage, red-breasted parakeets are found across South and Southeast Asia from Nepal and India east to Vietnam and Indonesia. They inhabit forest, mangroves, and cultivated areas, often aggregating in large flocks at fruiting trees and grain crops. Their range is one of the most fragmented among Psittacula parakeets.
