Panda Gigante

El panda gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) es un animal emblemático de China, célebre por su pelaje blanco y negro y su dieta basada casi exclusivamente en bambú.

Escribano Cerillo

El escribano cerillo (Emberiza citrinella) está clasificado como Casi Amenazado (NT) en la Lista Roja de la UICN. Es un pequeño emberícido que habita campos de cultivo abiertos, setos y linderos forestales de Europa y Asia occidental; los machos muestran una llamativa cabeza y pecho amarillos. La intensificación agrícola, con la consiguiente reducción del alimento y los cambios en el hábitat, ha provocado un rápido declive en numerosos países europeos.
