Большой улит
<em>Tringa nebularia</em>, commonly known as the common greenshank, is a migratory wading bird belonging to the genus Tringa within the family Scolopacidae. This species occupies various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments and has a documented range that includes Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Taiwan, reflecting its status as a long-distance migrant that breeds in northern Europe and winters across a broad range. Common greenshank is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is typically found along the edges of lakes, rivers, estuaries, and mudflats, where it forages for invertebrates and small fish using its slightly upturned bill. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
Epaulard
The largest member of the dolphin family, orcas reach up to 9 meters and 6 tonnes and are found in every ocean from Arctic to Antarctic. Apex predators living in matrilineal pods with distinct dialects, hunting strategies, and cultural traditions that differ between populations. Some populations specialize in fish, others in marine mammals. No natural predators; orcas sit at the top of every marine food chain they inhabit.
