🇧🇷 Um dos espetáculos mais impressionantes da natureza: o salto de uma baleia-jubarte. 🐋

Por que elas saltam?

A pair of Cobalt-rumped Parrotlets feeding on small fruits in the Atlantic Rainforest. These are among the smallest of parrots and often overlooked as they can perfectly camouflage among the green foliage.
