Бронзовокрылый попугай

A stocky, distinctive Pionus parrot with dark sooty-brown and blue-purple plumage with bronze iridescence on the wing coverts, bronze-winged parrots inhabit humid Andean forests of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela at elevations up to 2,500 meters. They are one of the least colorful but most charismatic Pionus species, known for their quiet, affectionate temperament in captivity. They feed on fruit, berries, and seeds in pairs and small groups in montane forest.

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.
