Ardilla Gris Oriental
ヒガシハイリス(Sciurus carolinensis)は北米東部原産の中型樹上性げっ歯類で、ヨーロッパをはじめ世界各地に移入された外来種である。IUCNレッドリストでは軽度懸念(LC)に分類されており、都市公園や郊外の森林環境への適応力が高く、堅果の埋蔵行動が植物の種子散布に重要な役割を果たしている。英国ではニホンリスを食物競争で駆逐しており、侵略的外来種としても問題視されている。
Collared Sprite
The Collared Sprite, known scientifically as <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em>, is a bat belonging to the order Chiroptera. <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em> is distinguished by a golden or pale collar of fur around the neck region, which gives rise to the species epithet "aureocollaris" — meaning golden-collared in Latin. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bats of this type are generally nocturnal, roosting during the day and emerging at night to forage on flying insects using echolocation. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Sprite is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is not currently considered to be at significant risk of decline.
