Брахиотеутис обыкновенный

<em>Brachioteuthis riisei</em>, commonly known as the Common Arm Squid, is a cephalopod mollusk in the family Brachioteuthidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List, reflecting significant gaps in knowledge about its population size, ecology, and distribution. Records of this species have been reported from waters off Chile and Norway, suggesting a broad oceanic distribution. Common Arm Squids are typically mesopelagic or bathypelagic organisms, inhabiting the open ocean at considerable depths during the day and often migrating toward shallower waters at night to feed. Like other oceanic squids, they are likely important components of marine food webs, serving as both predators of small fish and invertebrates and as prey for larger marine predators such as cetaceans and seabirds. The Data Deficient listing underscores the need for additional research into the biology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements of this understudied species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Bely Medved

The largest land carnivore on Earth, polar bears can exceed 700 kg and are found across Arctic sea ice from Canada to Russia. Highly specialized marine mammals that rely on sea ice to hunt ringed and bearded seals. Excellent swimmers capable of covering vast distances in open water. Listed as Vulnerable, with populations under severe pressure from rapid Arctic sea ice loss due to climate change.
