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.
Estornino Espléndido
El Estornino Esplendido (Lamprotornis splendidus) esta clasificado como Preocupacion Menor (LC) en la Lista Roja de la UICN. Ampliamente distribuido y abundante en su area de distribucion, con poblaciones estables y sin amenazas inmediatas para su conservacion.
