Common Grapevine

<em>Vitis vinifera</em>, commonly known as the common grapevine, is a woody climbing vine belonging to the genus Vitis within the family Vitaceae. This species occupies diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions and has one of the widest cultivated distributions of any plant species. Its range spans Africa, Asia including India, Taiwan, and Yemen, twenty-two European countries, North America, five Oceanian territories, and five South American nations. Common grapevine is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is of enormous agricultural and cultural significance, being the primary source of wine grapes cultivated globally for millennia. Wild populations typically colonize woodland edges and scrubland. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Common Seal

分布最广的鳍足类动物港海豹（Phoca vitulina）栖居于北大西洋和北太平洋温带及亚北极沿海水域。成体体重可达130千克，在海中捕食鱼类、鱿鱼和甲壳动物，并在沙滩或礁岩上休息，两者时间大致相当。大而富有表情的眼睛适应于弱光下的水下视觉。港海豹是虎鲸、鲨鱼和北极熊的重要食物来源。
