ムナフセッカ

The cloud cisticola (Cisticola textrix) is a small passerine bird in the family Cisticolidae native to the grasslands of South Africa and Lesotho. It inhabits short open grasslands, karoo scrub, and montane grasslands at elevations up to 3,000 meters in the Drakensberg highlands, where males perform conspicuous high-altitude song flights that give the species its common name. The plumage is cryptically streaked brown and buff above, helping the bird blend into its grass habitat, with a short tail and fine bill adapted for insectivory. Like other cisticolas, C. textrix constructs a characteristic purse-shaped woven grass nest hidden deep within tussock grass. The species is endemic to southern Africa, with the core range centered on the South African highveld and Lesotho highlands. It feeds on small invertebrates gleaned from grass stems and the ground surface. Cloud cisticola populations face pressure from conversion and degradation of native grasslands through overgrazing, agricultural expansion, and inappropriate burning regimes affecting the open grassland habitats it requires throughout its southern African range.

koala

オーストラリア東部・南東部を代表する有袋類で、体重は最大15kgに達し、低カロリーのユーカリの葉食から得るエネルギーを節約するために1日最大22時間を睡眠に費やす。他の哺乳類の多くを死に至らしめる有毒なユーカリ成分を処理するために高度に特化しており、解毒に特別に適応した腸内微生物叢を持つ。クラミジア感染症、生息地の伐採、気候変動により個体数が激減し、2022年に絶滅危惧種に指定された。
