ルリコンゴウインコ

アオコンゴウインコ（Ara ararauna）は最も印象的で広く飼育されているコンゴウインコの一種で、鮮やかなコバルトブルーの上面と活き活きとした黄色い下面、緑の額が美しいコントラストをなします。東パナマからベネズエラ、ブラジル、ボリビア、ペルー、エクアドルにかけての森林、林地、サバンナに生息します。高い知性を持ち、ペアや小群でヤシの実、種子、果実を食べます。400年以上にわたり飼鳥として人気があり、飼育環境では80年以上生存します。

Common catchfly

<em>Silene gallica</em>, commonly known as the common catchfly, is a plant species that was historically distributed across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. It typically occupied diverse terrestrial habitats, often found in disturbed ground, arable fields, roadsides, and sandy or rocky soils in temperate and Mediterranean regions. The species is classified as Extinct on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it is no longer known to exist in the wild. Common catchfly belongs to the genus <em>Silene</em> within the family Caryophyllaceae and was a slender annual herb notable for its small, often pink or white flowers and sticky stems. The loss of this species is attributed to habitat degradation, agricultural intensification, and the reduction of traditional farming practices that once maintained the open, disturbed habitats it depended upon. Biological traits such as average lifespan, plant height, and mass of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its extinction represents a permanent loss of biodiversity across its formerly wide global range.
