Zorzal-palmero Acollarado

The Collared Palm Thrush, known scientifically as <em>Cichladusa arquata</em>, is a passerine bird belonging to the family Muscicapidae, the Old World flycatchers. <em>Cichladusa arquata</em> is a notable singer, often characterised by its melodic and varied song delivered from prominent perches. The species typically inhabits woodland, thicket, and savanna habitats, often in areas with scattered trees or dense shrubbery, including areas near human habitation. As the common name suggests, the species is often associated with palm groves and similar vegetation types. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Palm Thrush is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a stable global population without significant conservation concerns.

<em>Pteropus livingstonii</em>, the Comoro flying fox or Livingstone's fruit bat, is a large fruit bat in the family Pteropodidae, endemic to the Comoro Islands in the western Indian Ocean, where it is restricted to Anjouan and Mohéli. It is one of the largest bats in the world, with a wingspan that can exceed one meter and a body weight reportedly ranging between 400–700 g. The species roosts colonially in tall native forest trees, particularly in humid upland forest fragments, and feeds on a variety of native fruits, nectar, and pollen, playing a critical role as a seed disperser and pollinator in Comoran forest ecosystems. Precise average lifespan data in the wild remain poorly documented, though captive individuals have lived over 20 years. <em>Pteropus livingstonii</em> is assessed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, making it one of the most threatened bat species in the world. Primary threats include extensive deforestation driven by agricultural expansion and charcoal production, which has severely reduced suitable roosting and foraging habitat, along with historic hunting. Conservation efforts include habitat protection, community education programs, and captive breeding initiatives at several European zoos coordinated through an international species survival program.
