Chestnut-fronted Macaw

중형 마코앵무로 멕시코 남부에서 볼리비아와 브라질에 이르는 중앙 및 남아메리카 열대 우림에 서식하며, 밤색 이마, 붉은 어깨 반점, 청색 날개 깃털을 가진 주로 녹색 깃털이 특징이다. 진정한 마코앵무 중 가장 작은 종으로, 산림 가장자리, 사바나, 2차 삼림에 서식하며 종종 농작물을 습격해 지역 농민들에게 인기가 없다. 인기 있는 사육용 새이지만, 야생 개체군은 포획과 삼림 벌채로 인한 압박을 받고 있다.

Cluster Bat

Myotis sodalis, the Indiana bat or cluster bat, is a medium-sized insectivorous bat in the family Vespertilionidae endemic to the eastern United States. It is one of the most endangered bats in North America, listed as Endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The species is named for its behavior of clustering in extremely dense hibernation groups—sometimes thousands of bats per square meter—in specific limestone caves and mines during winter. These few critical hibernacula make the species extremely vulnerable to disturbance and disease. Since 2007, Indiana bats have suffered severe mortality from white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans that disrupts hibernation and causes mass starvation. During summer, Indiana bats roost under loose bark of dead trees and forage for insects over forested landscapes and riparian areas. Foraging individuals consume moths, beetles, and flying insects. Conservation efforts include cave gate protection, white-nose syndrome research, and summer habitat management on public and private lands across the eastern US.
