Common Echymipera

<em>Echymipera kalubu</em>, the common echymipera, is a spiny bandicoot in the order Peramelemorphia, family Peramelidae, classified as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List. Geographic range data for this species are limited; it is associated with diverse terrestrial and aquatic habitats in its distribution area, which encompasses parts of New Guinea and nearby islands in the Australasian region. Like other members of its family, <em>Echymipera kalubu</em> is a small to medium-sized marsupial with a pointed snout, compact body, and coarse, spiny fur that provides protection against predators. Bandicoots are omnivorous foragers, typically using their elongated snouts to probe soil and leaf litter for invertebrates, plant tubers, fungi, and small vertebrates. <em>Echymipera kalubu</em> is nocturnal and typically solitary, with individuals occupying home ranges in forest, scrub, and disturbed habitats. The species reproduces with a relatively short gestation period, characteristic of marsupials, with young completing development attached to teats within the mother's backward-opening pouch. Bandicoots perform important ecosystem functions as soil disturbers and seed dispersers. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Cardenilla crestada

El cardenal crestirojo (Paroaria coronata) es un ave mediana llamativa, con brillante cresta roja, cara blanca y cuerpo gris. Es originaria de Sudamerica, desde Bolivia y Brasil hasta Argentina, y ha sido introducida en Hawaii y otras islas del Pacifico, donde se ha convertido en un ave emblematica de los jardines de Honolulu. Habita arbustos densos, bordes de pastizales y jardines suburbanos, donde se alimenta de semillas e insectos pequenos. A pesar de su nombre y parecido superficial, no esta emparentada con los cardenales norteamericanos, sino que pertenece a la familia de los tangaras.
