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.

Cotorra pechirroja

El cotorra pechiroja (Psittacula alexandri) es un periquito de tamano mediano con el pecho y las mejillas de color rojo rosado que contrastan con el plumaje verde y gris. Se distribuye por el sur y sudeste de Asia desde Nepal e India hasta Vietnam e Indonesia. Habita bosques, manglares y zonas cultivadas, reuniendose a menudo en grandes bandadas en arboles frutales y cultivos de grano. Su area de distribucion es una de las mas fragmentadas entre los periquitos del genero Psittacula. Es muy utilizada en avicultura en Asia y Europa.
