Cinnamon antechinus

The cinnamon antechinus (Antechinus leo) is a small marsupial in the family Dasyuridae, endemic to northeastern Queensland, Australia, particularly the Cape York Peninsula. It inhabits tropical and subtropical rainforest and forest margins at low elevations, sheltering in tree hollows, dense vine tangles, and fallen logs. Like all antechinuses, it is a specialist insectivore, consuming beetles, cockroaches, moths, and other invertebrates, and occasionally small lizards. The cinnamon antechinus is named for its rich cinnamon-brown dorsal fur. A remarkable feature shared by all antechinus species is semelparous reproduction: males undergo a catastrophic physiological decline and die shortly after a brief, intense mating season in winter, leaving only the pregnant females to carry the population into the next generation. This extreme reproductive strategy results in completely male-free populations for most of the year. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations within Cape York's relatively intact tropical forest. However, like all antechinuses, it faces threats from feral predators (cats and foxes), habitat degradation, and altered fire regimes. Climate change poses a long-term risk by shrinking the cool, moist forest habitats this species depends on. Genetic studies of Australian antechinuses have revealed considerable cryptic diversity.

ルリゴシボタンインコ

フィッシャーコザクラインコ（Agapornis fischeri）は、タンザニアとケニアのビクトリア湖周辺のサバンナ林や林縁が原産地の小型の鮮やかな色のラブバードである。胴体は緑色で、頭と喉は鮮やかなオレンジ色、くちばしは赤い。強いペアボンドを形成し、常に互いの羽を整えることが「ラブバード」という名前の由来となっている。世界的なペット取引のための大規模な捕獲により準絶滅危惧に指定されており、飼育下では複数の色変異が開発されている。
