Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Ara vert

A medium-sized macaw of Central and South American tropical forests from southern Mexico to Bolivia and Brazil, chestnut-fronted macaws have predominantly green plumage with a chestnut forehead, red shoulder patches, and blue flight feathers. The smallest of the true macaws, they inhabit forest edges, savannas, and secondary woodland and often raid crops, making them locally unpopular with farmers. They are popular aviary birds, but wild populations face pressure from trapping and deforestation.

Lémur Brun

The common brown lemur (<em>Eulemur fulvus</em>) is a medium-sized primate endemic to Madagascar, typically inhabiting diverse terrestrial and aquatic environments including tropical moist forests. This species is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, reflecting significant population declines driven primarily by habitat loss and fragmentation resulting from deforestation and land conversion across its native range. As a member of the family Lemuridae, the common brown lemur is characterized by its brown to gray fur, pale face patches, and social group-living behavior. The species is typically diurnal and cathemeral, meaning it may be active during both day and night depending on season and conditions. It often feeds on fruits, leaves, flowers, and invertebrates, making it an important seed disperser in Malagasy forest ecosystems. The common brown lemur typically lives in social groups ranging in size from a few individuals to over a dozen animals. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
