ヒメコンゴウインコ
メキシコ南部からボリビアおよびブラジルに至る中南米熱帯林に生息する中型マコウインコで、栗色の前頭部、赤い肩の斑点、青い風切羽を持つ主に緑色の羽毛が特徴だ。真のマコウインコの中で最小の種で、林縁、サバンナ、二次林に生息し、農作物を荒らすことも多く地元農民には不人気なこともある。人気の飼育用鳥だが、野生個体群は捕獲と森林破壊による圧力を受けている。
Collared Mongoose
The Collared Mongoose, known scientifically as <em>Herpestes semitorquatus</em>, is a small carnivorous mammal belonging to the family Herpestidae. <em>Herpestes semitorquatus</em> is characterised by a distinctive pale collar or band of lighter fur around the neck region, which gives the species its common name and differentiates it from other mongoose species within the genus. Mongooses of the genus Herpestes are typically agile, terrestrial predators that inhabit a range of forested and scrubland environments. They are generally known to feed on invertebrates, small vertebrates, and eggs. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Mongoose is currently assessed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, indicating that while the species does not yet qualify as threatened, it is considered to be close to qualifying, and monitoring of population trends is warranted.
