Cheetah

지구상 가장 빠른 육상 동물로, 아프리카와 이란의 초원에서 단거리 질주 시 시속 112km에 달하는 속도를 낸다. 깊은 가슴, 긴 다리, 독특한 흑색 눈물 줄무늬를 가진 날씬한 체형이 특징이다. 다른 대형 고양이과와 달리 치타는 지저귀는 소리와 그루링 소리를 낸다. 서식지 파편화와 대형 포식자와의 경쟁으로 인해 약 7,000마리만 남아 있으며 취약종으로 분류된다.

Cinnamon Bracken-Warbler

The cinnamon bracken warbler (Bradypterus cinnamomeus) is a skulking, secretive bird in the family Locustellidae, endemic to the highlands of East Africa. It inhabits dense bracken fern, rank grass, scrub, and the undergrowth of montane forest margins at elevations from approximately 1,500 to 3,200 meters, from Ethiopia and Uganda south through Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The plumage is rich cinnamon-brown above and paler below with streaked flanks, providing excellent camouflage in its dense vegetative habitat. The species produces a distinctive loud, churring, or musical song that is heard more often than the bird is seen. The cinnamon bracken warbler is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with stable populations across its East African highland range. It is absent from Europe entirely; Norwegian database records are geographic data errors. Montane grassland and forest edge habitats in the East African highlands support remarkable bird diversity, including many endemic species. While the cinnamon bracken warbler's habitat faces some pressure from agricultural expansion at forest margins, its adaptability to bracken fern and secondary vegetation provides resilience. It is a popular target species for birdwatchers visiting montane sites in Kenya and Uganda.
