Mount Peale
Mount Peale is the highest point in the La Sal Mountains of San Juan County, in the southeastern part of Utah, United States. It is also the highest point in Utah outside the Uinta Mountains. It is located about southeast of Moab. The summit is the highest point in the Manti-La Sal National Forest and the Mount Peale Research Natural Area. Mount Peale was named for Albert Peale, a mineralogist on the Hayden Survey of 1875. The La Sal Mountains sit on the arid Colorado Plateau, near such famous desert landmarks as Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park. However, due to their height, the La Sals are heavily forested and usually snow-capped until early summer (there is one snowfield on the north side that usually lasts year round).Michael R. Kelsey, ''Guide to the World's Mountains'' (third edition), Kelsey Publishing, 1996, , pp. 682–683.

Peale's Dolphin
Peale's dolphin (''Lagenorhynchus australis'') is a small dolphin found in the waters around Tierra del Fuego at the foot of South America. It is also commonly known as the black-chinned dolphin or even Peale's black-chinned dolphin. However, since Rice's work Peale's dolphin has been adopted as the standard common name. Taxonomy Though it is traditionally placed in the genus ''Lagenorhynchus'', recent molecular phylogeny, molecular analyses indicate Peale's dolphin is actually more closely related to the dolphins of the genus ''Cephalorhynchus''. If true, this would mean this species must either be transferred to ''Cephalorhynchus'' or be given a new genus of its own. An alternate genus proposed for this species (as well as the Pacific white-sided dolphin, hourglass dolphin and dusky dolphin is the resurrected genus ''Sagmatias''. Some behavioral and morphological data support moving Peale's dolphin to ''Cephalorhynchus''. According to , Peale's dolphin and the ''Cephalorhynchu ...
