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.

Обыкновенный бронзовокрылый голубь-фапс

The common bronzewing (<em>Phaps chalcoptera</em>) is a medium-sized ground-dwelling pigeon with records from Norway, though it is primarily an Australian species with a range spanning various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic habitats. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting stable population numbers across its range. As a member of the family Columbidae, the common bronzewing is typically recognized by the iridescent bronze and green patches on its wings, which shimmer in sunlight. The species often inhabits a wide variety of environments, including eucalyptus woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and areas near water sources. The common bronzewing typically feeds on seeds, grasses, and other plant material foraged from the ground. It is often seen drinking at waterholes and watercourses, and is known for its distinctive hooting call. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
