Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ（Ailuropoda melanoleuca）は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指（橈側種子骨）を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急（VU）へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

コロンビアヒメクイナ

Neocrex colombiana, commonly known as the Colombian Crake, is a bird species belonging to the genus Neocrex within the family Rallidae, a group of typically secretive marsh and wetland birds. This species is classified as Data Deficient, indicating that current information is insufficient to accurately determine its conservation status, and that further survey work is required to understand its population size and trend. It has been documented in Colombia and Ecuador, where it inhabits various environmental settings consistent with rallid ecology, including wetlands, marshy grasslands, and dense vegetation near water. Rails and crakes in this family are generally omnivorous, feeding on invertebrates, seeds, and small vertebrates, though specific dietary records for this species have not been documented. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The secretive nature of rallid birds, combined with their preference for dense habitats, makes population surveys challenging. Comprehensive field surveys using acoustic monitoring are considered essential for improving knowledge of Neocrex colombiana.
