Inséparable de Fischer
A small, brilliantly colored lovebird native to the savanna woodlands and forest edges around Lake Victoria in Tanzania and Kenya, Fischer's lovebirds have green body plumage, vivid orange head and throat, and bright red bill. They form strong pair bonds, constantly preening each other — the behavior that gave lovebirds their name. Listed as Near Threatened due to heavy trapping for the global pet trade. Multiple color mutations have been developed in captivity.
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.
