Ожерелковая лесная звезда

A tiny, high-altitude Andean woodstar hummingbird, male gorgeted woodstars have a spectacular iridescent pink-purple gorget that is disproportionately large relative to their 2.5 g body. Found in montane forest edges and gardens from Colombia and Venezuela to northwestern Peru at elevations of 1,500–3,500 meters. Like all woodstars, they perform buzzy, insect-like hovering flight in open areas near flowers. They enter deep nocturnal torpor — a near-death metabolic state — to survive cold Andean nights.

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.
