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.

Турмалиновая нимфа

A high-altitude Andean hummingbird named for its warm amber-orange sunangel plumage on the gorget, tourmaline sunangels inhabit páramo grassland, cloud forest, and forest edge in Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador at elevations of 2,200–4,100 meters. Males display a glittering orange-coppery to purple gorget depending on light angle. Like all sunangels, they are relatively cold-tolerant for hummingbirds and may lower metabolic rate significantly at night to conserve energy in the cold Andes.
