Bryde´s Whale:
- The Bryde´s whale (Balaenoptera edeni) is a Walart from the family of the furrow whales (Balaenopteridae). The species was named after the Norwegian whaler and ship owner Johan Bryde (1858-1925). The status of the Eden whale, which is also often regarded as a species of its own, is unclear; it was described as a separate species on the basis of genetic studies in 1993, but according to its current state it is not considered independently.
- With a length of 12 to 14 meters and a weight of 16 to 25 tons of Bryde's Whale is one of the smaller furrows. He has an elongated, dark gray body, which is slightly lighter colored only at the throat and belly. Characteristic of this species are three strip-like beads on top of the head. The sei whale, which looks quite similar to the Bryde's whale, has only one spar in the middle of the head. The crescent-shaped fin sits as in all furrows whales far behind the body, the Fluke is clearly notched.
-
Letherback Turtle:
- The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the largest living turtle and is usually regarded as the only member of the same family (Dermochelyidae). Thus it does not count zoologisch to the family of the sea turtles (Cheloniidae), but is united together with these in the superfamily Chelonioidea. Their habitat is tropical and subtropical seas. So far, no subtypes are distinguished for this species. The animals reach a tank length of up to 2.5 meters and a weight of almost 700 kilograms.
- Similar to the soft-shelled turtles and unlike other turtles, the leatherback turtle does not have a typical dorsal shield with horny scales. The loosely connected bone armor is rather surrounded by a rough leather-like skin. The tank is elongated and runs to the rear pointed. On the blue-black back are clearly seven thickened bone plates or longitudinal keels to see.
