Green Sea Turtle

The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles. They are named for the green color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells.

Шиферный крючкоклюв

A medium-sized flowerpiercer of humid Andean cloud forest and forest edges from Colombia south to Bolivia, white-sided flowerpiercers have distinctive white flank patches contrasting with dark grey-blue plumage. Like all flowerpiercers, they use their sharply hooked and slightly upturned bill to pierce the base of tubular flowers and steal nectar without pollinating — earning them the reputation as nectar thieves. Found at elevations of 1,500–3,500 meters, they are commonly encountered in Andean gardens and forest edges.
