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。

Coloma’s Glassfrog

Nymphargus colomai, commonly known as Coloma's Glassfrog, is an amphibian species belonging to the genus Nymphargus within the family Centrolenidae. Glassfrogs are named for their translucent ventral skin, through which internal organs are visible, a trait characteristic of this family. This species is classified as Endangered, indicating a high risk of extinction if current conditions and threats persist within its range. It inhabits freshwater-associated environments, moist forests, and wetland habitats typical of neotropical regions, where glassfrogs are typically found on vegetation near fast-flowing streams. Specific country-level distributional records are not detailed in current documentation. The reproductive biology of glassfrogs involves egg deposition on vegetation overhanging water, with hatching tadpoles dropping into streams below. Dietary information specific to this species has not been documented, though centrolenid frogs generally consume small invertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Threats facing Nymphargus colomai include deforestation, stream degradation, and the chytrid fungal disease affecting amphibians globally.
