common squirrel monkey

<em>Saimiri sciureus</em>, commonly known as the common squirrel monkey, is a small New World monkey in the family Cebidae, widely distributed across the tropical forests of South America. This species typically inhabits lowland tropical rainforests, riverine forests, secondary forests, and forest edges from sea level to approximately 2,000 metres elevation, showing a preference for lower forest strata and forest margins. Its geographic range spans the Amazon Basin, extending through Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Bolivia, and adjacent countries. Classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, <em>Saimiri sciureus</em> is among the most abundant primates across much of Amazonia, though local populations face pressures from deforestation and the pet trade. The species is highly social, typically forming troops of 10–75 individuals that forage actively during daylight hours. It is omnivorous, typically feeding on insects, fruit, nectar, small vertebrates, and bird eggs, with insects comprising a major proportion of the diet. Adults typically reach a body length of approximately 25–37 cm with a tail length of 37–47 cm, and body weight typically ranges from approximately 600–1,100 g. Average lifespan in the wild is typically around 15–20 years.

ヒバリ

ヒバリ(Alauda arvensis)は、飛翔中に歌う複雑で美しい声でヨーロッパの文学と詩に称えられてきました。ヨーロッパとアジア全域の開けた農地、草地、荒野の上空を数百メートルも垂直に舞い上がりながら、最長1時間にわたって途切れなく歌い続けます。雄は700種類以上の独特なさえずりを発することができます。かつてヨーロッパの農地で非常に多かったヒバリの個体数は、農業の集約化により1970年代から70%以上減少しています。
