Cinnamon Bracken-Warbler

The cinnamon bracken warbler (Bradypterus cinnamomeus) is a skulking, secretive bird in the family Locustellidae, endemic to the highlands of East Africa. It inhabits dense bracken fern, rank grass, scrub, and the undergrowth of montane forest margins at elevations from approximately 1,500 to 3,200 meters, from Ethiopia and Uganda south through Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The plumage is rich cinnamon-brown above and paler below with streaked flanks, providing excellent camouflage in its dense vegetative habitat. The species produces a distinctive loud, churring, or musical song that is heard more often than the bird is seen. The cinnamon bracken warbler is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with stable populations across its East African highland range. It is absent from Europe entirely; Norwegian database records are geographic data errors. Montane grassland and forest edge habitats in the East African highlands support remarkable bird diversity, including many endemic species. While the cinnamon bracken warbler's habitat faces some pressure from agricultural expansion at forest margins, its adaptability to bracken fern and secondary vegetation provides resilience. It is a popular target species for birdwatchers visiting montane sites in Kenya and Uganda.

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.
