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.

Изумрудногорлая металлура

A small, brilliantly colored hummingbird of Andean cloud forests and páramo from Venezuela south to Bolivia, tyrian metaltails have deep purple-magenta gorgets and metallic reddish-purple tails. They inhabit elevations from 2,500 to 4,500 meters, hovering at flowering shrubs and herbs of the páramo. Males defend territories around nectar-rich flower patches. Among the highest-altitude hummingbirds, they are physiologically adapted to thin, cold high-Andean air.
