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.

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.
