オオフラミンゴ
最も鮮やかな色彩を持つフラミンゴ種であるアメリカフラミンゴは、甲殻類の餌に含まれるカロテノイド色素から深紅のピンク色の羽毛を得ています。バハマやフロリダから中央アメリカ、ガラパゴスに至るカリブ海沿岸のラグーン、塩田、マングローブ湿地に生息しています。非常に群れを好む種で、干潟の泥の塚に大規模な集団で営巣し、独特の濃いピンク色は潜在的な配偶者に健康と繁殖能力を示すシグナルとして使われます。
Colombian Oldfield Mouse
<em>Thomasomys dispar</em>, commonly known as the Colombian Oldfield Mouse, is a small rodent species belonging to the genus <em>Thomasomys</em> within the family Cricetidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient, indicating that insufficient information is currently available to evaluate its conservation status with confidence. It has been documented in Colombia, where it inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments. Members of the genus <em>Thomasomys</em> are typically associated with high-altitude Andean habitats, including páramo grasslands, shrublands, and montane forest edges, where they occupy ground-level microhabitats and burrow in soft soils. These mice are generally omnivorous, consuming seeds, plant material, and invertebrates, though specific dietary data for <em>Thomasomys dispar</em> have not been recorded. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The Data Deficient classification highlights the need for targeted surveys in Colombian Andean regions to determine population size, distribution, and the ecological requirements of this poorly known rodent.
