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.

jaguar

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
