Range

Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, Norway, and Venezuela.

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。

クロノスリ

The common black hawk (<em>Buteogallus anthracinus</em>) is a medium-sized raptor of the family Accipitridae, classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It inhabits aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments across its range, which includes Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and, notably, Norway, suggesting occasional vagrant or introduced occurrences outside its core Neotropical distribution. <em>Buteogallus anthracinus</em> is typically associated with riparian forests, mangroves, and wetland edges, where it hunts crabs, fish, frogs, and other aquatic prey along stream banks and shorelines. The bird is predominantly black with a broad white tail band, making it distinctive in the field. It often perches conspicuously on exposed branches near water, scanning for prey below. The species typically nests in tall trees near water, constructing large stick nests used across multiple breeding seasons. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
