Cinereous Antshrike

The cinereous antshrike (Thamnomanes caesius) is a small, insectivorous bird in the family Thamnophilidae, found across Amazonia and the Orinoco basin in South America. It ranges from Venezuela, Colombia, and the Guianas south through Brazil to Bolivia and Peru. This species is a characteristic member of Amazonian mixed-species foraging flocks, in which it serves as a sentinel, alerting other species to approaching predators while also flushing insects for other flock members. It inhabits the undergrowth and lower to mid strata of terra firme and humid forest, particularly avoiding seasonally flooded várzea. The male is largely gray-blue with a black throat, while the female is brownish with a rufous wash. The cinereous antshrike is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a vast Amazonian range and stable populations in intact forest. As a nuclear species in mixed-species flocks, its presence or absence has cascading effects on the diversity and composition of the flocking community. Deforestation of Amazonian terra firme forest poses the primary long-term threat to this and many co-occurring antbird species. The species is entirely absent from Europe; any database record listing Norway as its range is an artifact of data entry error.

gorilla

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
