Perruche omnicolore

One of Australia's most colorful parrots, eastern rosellas display a vivid multicolored plumage of red, white, yellow, and blue-green across their body, inhabiting open woodlands and forests of southeastern Australia and Tasmania, and introduced to New Zealand. They forage on seeds, berries, and nectar at or near ground level, and are a familiar garden visitor in suburban southeastern Australia. Popular aviary birds globally for their striking plumage and relatively quiet, musical calls.

Girafe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
