Urraca Verde

<em>Cissa chinensis</em>, commonly known as the common green magpie, is a passerine bird belonging to the genus Cissa within the family Corvidae. This species inhabits various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments, with a documented range that includes Norway, suggesting occasional vagrant or introduced occurrences far outside its native Southeast and South Asian distribution. Common green magpie is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is typically associated with dense tropical and subtropical forests across its native range, where its brilliant green plumage, often fading to turquoise with age and sun exposure, renders it a striking forest bird. It is an omnivore typically foraging at mid and lower forest levels. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

koala

Icónico marsupial del este y sureste de Australia, los koalas pesan hasta 15 kg y pasan hasta 22 horas diarias durmiendo para conservar energía de su dieta de hojas de eucalipto, baja en calorías. Altamente especializados para procesar los compuestos tóxicos del eucalipto que matarían a la mayoría de los demás mamíferos, poseen microbiomas intestinales únicamente adaptados para la desintoxicación. Clasificado como En Peligro en 2022, con poblaciones diezmadas por la enfermedad de clamidia, la deforestación y el cambio climático.
