The Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus) is also known as the Black Vulture, Monk Vulture, or EurasianBlack Vulture. It is a member of the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, buzzards and harriers.
Dolphins are marine mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost forty species of dolphin in seventeen genera. They vary in size from 1.2 m (4 ft) and 40 kg (90 lb) (Maui's Dolphin), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and 10 tonnes (9.8 LT; 11 ST) (the Orca or Killer Whale).
The Testudo hermanni, or Herman's Tortoise is a medium-sized tortoise. It has a shell up to 27 cm long in the females, which, in fact are larger than the males. They are of a yellow and black colouring.
The Hoopoe is a medium sized bird, 25–32 cm (9.8-12.6 in) long, with a 44–48 cm (17.3-19 in) wingspan weighing 46-89 (1.6-3.1 oz). The species is highly distinctive, with a long, thin tapering bill that is black with a fawn base. The strengthened musculature of the head allows the bill to be opened when probing inside the soil. The hoopoe has broad and rounded wings capable of strong flight; these are larger in the northern migratory subspecies.
The Hummingbird Hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum) is a species of Sphingidae, hawk moth with a long proboscis, which regularly hovers, making an audible humming noise. These two features make it look remarkably like a hummingbird when it feeds on flowers; it is theorised that this is a result of convergent evolution.
Midwife toads (Alytes) are a genus of frogs in the Discoglossidae family, and are found in most of Europe and northwestern Africa. Characteristic of these toad-like frogs is their parental care: the males carry a string of fertilised eggs on their back, hence the name "midwife". The female expels a strand of eggs, which the male fertilizes externally. He then wraps them around his legs to protect them from predators in the water.
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the sea hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large raptor, reaching 60 centimetres (24 in) in length with a 1.8 metre (6 ft) wingspan. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts, with a black eye patch and wings.
The pine processionary caterpillar is one of the most well known of all the processionaries and were studied as long ago as 1736 by Raumier and later in 1898 by Fabre. Fabre wrote an essay "The life of a caterpillar" which is among the classics of popular entomological literature.
The Balearic Islands population has declined from 41-47 breeding pairs in 1993 to just 10 in 2003. The main threats to this species are poisoning, through illegal direct poisoning and indirect poisoning due to pesticides, particularly in the wintering ranges in France and Spain, and changes in agricultural practices causing a reduction in food resources.
This beautiful, unique, small marine fish is to be found in the beds of Posidonia. It has no caudal fin, which has been modified in the form of a prehensile tail enabling it to attach itself to algae and plants. Fortunately it is very common in the Mediterranean, where it is represented by two species: Hippocampus hippocampus and Hippocampus guttulatus, the latter being the larger.
