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.

Одноцветная вьюрковая овсянка

A small, inconspicuous seedeater with grey-brown plumage and a conical bill, grey seedeaters inhabit open grasslands, savanna, and rice fields across northern South America from Colombia and Venezuela to Trinidad and the Guianas. Males are medium grey with darker wings; females are streaked brown. Highly gregarious, forming large foraging flocks on grass seeds. Like many grassland seedeaters, grey seedeaters are poorly known ecologically and face ongoing pressure from agricultural conversion of native grasslands.
