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.

Сероголовый неразлучник

The only lovebird species native to Madagascar, gray-headed lovebirds — also called Madagascar lovebirds — are among the most sexually dimorphic lovebirds, with males having pale grey heads and necks contrasting with bright green body plumage, while females are entirely green. They inhabit forest edges, scrub, and cultivated areas of Madagascar and have been introduced to some neighboring islands. Relatively little kept in captivity compared to African lovebirds. Listed as Least Concern.
