Chotacabras ñañarca grande

El atajacaminos trinador (Systellura longirostris) es un ave nocturna de América del Sur, con manchas blancas llamativas en las alas. Su estado de conservación es de preocupación menor (LC); es de hábitos nocturnos, se alimenta de insectos que vuelan de noche y se camufla perfectamente en el suelo durante el día.

Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
