Colocolo

<em>Leopardus colocolo</em>, commonly known as the Colocolo, is a small wild cat species belonging to the genus <em>Leopardus</em> within the family Felidae. This species is assessed as Near Threatened by major conservation bodies, indicating that while it is not currently classified as threatened, its populations face pressures that could lead to a more serious conservation status if conditions worsen. The Colocolo inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments across South America, where it is associated with grasslands, shrublands, and wetland margins. It is one of the smallest wild cats native to the continent. Specific country-level distributional records are not detailed in current documentation. Dietary information specific to this species has not been recorded in current records, though wild cats of similar size and habitat affiliation typically prey on small mammals, birds, and other small vertebrates. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation concerns for the Colocolo include habitat loss, persecution by farmers, and the illegal wildlife trade. Continued monitoring and habitat protection are considered essential for maintaining viable populations.

キアオジ

キアオジ（Emberiza citrinella）はIUCNレッドリストで準絶滅危惧（NT）に分類されています。ヨーロッパと西アジアの開けた耕作地、生け垣、林縁に生息する小型のホオジロ類で、雄の鮮やかな黄色の頭部と胸が特徴です。農業の集約化による食物減少と生息地変化により、ヨーロッパ各地で急激に減少しています。
