Collared Sprite

The Collared Sprite, known scientifically as <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em>, is a bat belonging to the order Chiroptera. <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em> is distinguished by a golden or pale collar of fur around the neck region, which gives rise to the species epithet "aureocollaris" — meaning golden-collared in Latin. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bats of this type are generally nocturnal, roosting during the day and emerging at night to forage on flying insects using echolocation. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Sprite is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is not currently considered to be at significant risk of decline.

コンゴウインコ

南北アメリカ大陸で最も鮮やかな色彩を誇る鳥の一つであるコンゴウインコ(Ara macao)は、鮮烈な赤・黄・青の羽毛と翼開長最大1メートルの大きな翼を持ちます。メキシコからボリビアにかけての湿潤な低地森林に生息し、高い知性を持ち、最長75年の長寿で生涯を通じてつがいを形成します。種子の毒素を無害化するためにミネラル豊富な土を摂取するクレイ・リックまで長距離を移動します。軽度懸念に指定されていますが、生息地の喪失とペット取引により地域的に脅威にさらされています。
