자이언트판다(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)는 중국 중부 산지 대나무 숲에 서식하는 흑백의 상징적인 곰으로, 몸무게는 최대 125kg에 달하며 하루 최대 14시간을 대나무 섭취에 소비합니다. 식육목에 속함에도 불구하고 식이의 99%가 대나무이며 대나무 줄기를 잡기 위한 위족지(의사 엄지)를 가집니다. 성공적인 보전 및 번식 프로그램 덕분에 2016년 위기(EN)에서 취약(VU)으로 하향 조정되었습니다.

Common Green-Magpie

<em>Cissa chinensis</em>, commonly known as the common green magpie, is a passerine bird belonging to the genus Cissa within the family Corvidae. This species inhabits various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments, with a documented range that includes Norway, suggesting occasional vagrant or introduced occurrences far outside its native Southeast and South Asian distribution. Common green magpie is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is typically associated with dense tropical and subtropical forests across its native range, where its brilliant green plumage, often fading to turquoise with age and sun exposure, renders it a striking forest bird. It is an omnivore typically foraging at mid and lower forest levels. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
