giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。

ギンパラ

クロエリスズメ(Lonchura malacca)とも呼ばれる三色文鳥は、印象的な栗色・白色・黒色の羽毛を持つ。インドからインドネシアにかけての南・東南アジアの草地・葦原・農耕地に生息する。湿地と水田生息地と深く結びついており、草の種子や穀物を食べる。分布域全体で人気の籠鳥で、自然分布域外に持ち込まれて複数の国で野生化した個体群を形成している。
