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.
Búho cara café
El búho chico (Asio otus) está clasificado como Datos Insuficientes (DD) en la Lista Roja de la UICN. No hay suficientes datos disponibles para evaluar el riesgo de extinción. Se requieren más investigaciones y trabajos de campo.
