エクアドルミヤマオタテドリ

The Chusquea tapaculo (Scytalopus parkeri) is a small, secretive bird in the family Rhinocryptidae, endemic to the cloud forests of Ecuador. It inhabits dense bamboo thickets of Chusquea—the Andean bamboo genus for which it is named—as well as thick undergrowth in montane forest between approximately 2,200 and 3,000 meters elevation on the eastern Andean slopes. Like other tapaculos, it is almost entirely terrestrial, skulking through dense vegetation in search of insects and small invertebrates. The species is extremely difficult to observe and is typically detected by its distinctive song: a series of loud, repetitive notes that carry through dense forest. The Chusquea tapaculo is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered stable within its limited range. However, its dependence on intact cloud forest and bamboo understory makes it vulnerable to habitat loss from agricultural expansion and road-building in Ecuador's eastern Andes. The species was described relatively recently and named in honor of ornithologist Theodore Parker III. Tapaculos as a group are particularly sensitive to forest fragmentation because of their poor dispersal ability and strong site fidelity. Conservation of cloud forest corridors along the Ecuadorian Andes is essential for maintaining viable populations of this and many co-occurring endemic birds.

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン（Giraffa camelopardalis）は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
