座头鲸是大型鲸类中最具杂技表演性的物种之一,以繁殖季节雄性演唱的复杂而神秘的歌声著称,歌声有时持续数小时并随时间演变。体长可达16米,体重30吨,进行着哺乳动物中最长距离的洄游。分布于所有大洋,通过协作泡泡网捕食磷虾和小鱼。种群数量已从历史捕鲸后大体恢复。
白領翡翠
The Collared Kingfisher, known scientifically as <em>Todiramphus chloris</em>, is a widespread species of kingfisher belonging to the family Alcedinidae. One of the most broadly distributed kingfisher species in the world, <em>Todiramphus chloris</em> is recognised by its vivid turquoise or blue-green upperparts and clean white or buff underparts, with a distinctive white collar encircling the neck — a feature that gives the species its common name. The species occupies a remarkably diverse range of habitats, including mangroves, coastal forests, open woodland, and cultivated areas, reflecting considerable ecological adaptability. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. <em>Todiramphus chloris</em> is a sit-and-wait predator, typically perching conspicuously before diving to capture prey such as insects, small reptiles, crustaceans, and fish. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented across the full range of subspecies in available literature. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
