This duck stands out in colour matching. The common eider (Somateria mollissima L.) shows its yellow and green in an original palette and structure. It is a high-speed duck which can fly up to 113 km/h. Beauty and speed are a great combination.

The habitat of Antarctica is changing. Large amounts of freshwater flow into the salty ecosystem of the ocean. The penguin faces a significant and drastic change in its food supply. Here is a showcase of the habitat in change. This penguin seems lost. Does the habitat of Antarctica still exist? Climate change is not just an abstract idea but a true driver of considerable loss. We mark this loss now and shortly as a public risk.

This far descendant from the Jurassic, the King Penguin, has mastered the art of flying in the water. It is painted in its natural habitat, Antarctica. The colours and the streamlining are astonishing. My personal ode to this bird.
