大翅鯨

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。

collared notchwort

The Collared Notchwort, known scientifically as <em>Mesoptychia collaris</em>, is a liverwort belonging to the family Jungermanniaceae within the class Jungermanniopsida. <em>Mesoptychia collaris</em> is a bryophyte — a non-vascular land plant — and represents one of the leafy liverworts, characterised by flattened, leaf-like structures arranged along creeping stems. This species is associated with moist, shaded habitats typical of temperate regions, including areas of Europe and North America. It is reported to occur in Norway, Sweden, and the United States. Like other liverworts, <em>Mesoptychia collaris</em> plays a role in moisture retention and habitat structure in the ecosystems it inhabits. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan measures and physical dimensions are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Notchwort is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
