Common Honey-Locust

<em>Gleditsia triacanthos</em>, commonly known as the common honey locust, is a deciduous tree in the family Fabaceae. It is widely distributed across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania, making it one of the more cosmopolitan woody plants within its genus. The species typically inhabits a broad range of terrestrial environments, including temperate forests, grasslands, and disturbed areas where it often establishes readily. Its conservation status has not been evaluated by the IUCN, and population data remain limited. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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.
