Sporophile noir et blanc

A small, boldly patterned seedeater with striking black-and-white plumage in males — jet black upper parts and wings contrasting with white underparts — black-and-white seedeaters inhabit open and semi-open habitats including grassland, forest edge, and plantation shade in the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia. One of the more distinctively patterned Sporophila seedeaters. Females are plain brown and buff. They forage on grass seeds and are sometimes kept as cage birds for the males' patterning and song.

loup

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.
