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.

Macbrideola cornea is a minute myxomycete in the order Liceales, forming tiny stalked sporangia on decaying plant material and bark. Its sporangia are ivory to pale in color with a firm peridium. Like other slime molds, it plays a role in forest nutrient cycling by consuming bacteria and fungal spores.
