common bottlenose dolphin

The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.

Пурпурная иридосорния

A brilliantly colored Andean tanager with deep purplish-blue mantle and chestnut flanks contrasting with black face and wings, purplish-mantled tanagers inhabit humid cloud forest and forest edges at elevations of 1,000–2,200 meters in Colombia and Ecuador. Males display strikingly iridescent purple mantle plumage that shimmers in canopy light. They inhabit forest interior and edge in pairs and small groups, foraging on fruit and insects. Listed as Vulnerable due to significant deforestation of Colombian and Ecuadorian cloud forest.
