Orang-után

El mamífero arborícola más grande del mundo; los orangutanes de Borneo pesan hasta 90 kg y pasan la mayor parte de sus vidas en el dosel de la selva tropical de Borneo. Solitarios y semi-nómadas, construyen nidos nocturnos en los árboles y buscan frutas, hojas e invertebrados. En Peligro Crítico, con poblaciones que han disminuido más del 50% en los últimos 60 años debido a la deforestación por la expansión del aceite de palma y la caza ilegal.

Chita

El guepardo es el animal terrestre más rápido de la Tierra, alcanzando velocidades de 112 km/h en distancias cortas en las praderas de África e Irán. Complexión esbelta con un pecho profundo, patas largas y distintivas marcas negras en forma de lágrima. A diferencia de otros grandes felinos, los guepardos vocalizan con chirridos y ronroneos. Vulnerable, con solo ~7.000 individuos restantes debido a la fragmentación del hábitat y la competencia con depredadores más grandes.
