Picurero bosquero
Un gran saltador de bosques húmedos, bordes forestales y matorrales secundarios desde México hasta Bolivia y Brasil, el saltador de garganta leonada muestra partes superiores verdes con un distintivo superciliar blanco, franja malar negra y garganta leonada cálida. Es común en márgenes forestales y jardines, produciendo ricos y melodiosos cantos. Se alimenta de semillas, frutos y brotes.
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.
