Cheetah
地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。
キンパラ
豊かな栗褐色の羽毛、黒い頭部、白い腹部を持つ小型のがっしりしたカエデチョウ科フィンチで、インドとスリランカから東南アジアを経てフィリピンと台湾まで、草地、水田、開けた林縁に生息する。非常に群れを作る習性があり、大きな群れを形成し、稲作の小規模害虫とみなされることもある。アジア全域で飼育用鳥として広く飼育され、比較的容易に繁殖・飼育できる。
