フチオハチドリ

温かみのあるバフ黄色の尾基部と冠状の輝く頭部をもつ大型の頑健なハチドリで、コロンビアとエクアドルの北アンデスの雲霧林や林縁に、標高1,200〜2,800mで生息します。比較的攻撃的で花蜜に富む縄張りを守り、大型の開花木で採食します。低地種に比べて大きな体は、高標高での低温耐性の採食に対する適応を反映しています。軽度懸念に分類されています。

Colocolo

<em>Leopardus colocolo</em>, commonly known as the Colocolo, is a small wild cat species belonging to the genus <em>Leopardus</em> within the family Felidae. This species is assessed as Near Threatened by major conservation bodies, indicating that while it is not currently classified as threatened, its populations face pressures that could lead to a more serious conservation status if conditions worsen. The Colocolo inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments across South America, where it is associated with grasslands, shrublands, and wetland margins. It is one of the smallest wild cats native to the continent. Specific country-level distributional records are not detailed in current documentation. Dietary information specific to this species has not been recorded in current records, though wild cats of similar size and habitat affiliation typically prey on small mammals, birds, and other small vertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation concerns for the Colocolo include habitat loss, persecution by farmers, and the illegal wildlife trade. Continued monitoring and habitat protection are considered essential for maintaining viable populations.
