Cinnamon-breasted Bunting

The cinnamon-breasted bunting (Emberiza tahapisi), also called the rock bunting or cinnamon-breasted rock bunting, is a small passerine in the family Emberizidae, widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa and extending into the Arabian Peninsula and parts of western Asia. It inhabits rocky hillsides, boulder-strewn slopes, dry scrub, and open woodland with rocky outcrops, from sea level to highland elevations across its vast African range. The male is distinguished by bold streaky brown upperparts, a black and white striped head, and a rich cinnamon breast—its namesake feature. The species forages on the ground for seeds and invertebrates. The cinnamon-breasted bunting is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a large, continuous African range and populations considered stable. It is one of the most widespread buntings in Africa. The species is entirely absent from Europe and Norway; database records to the contrary are errors arising from data entry or coordinate mistakes in species databases. This bunting is a common and conspicuous species throughout its African rocky habitat, often singing from prominent boulders. It is non-migratory across most of its range, though some montane populations may make limited altitudinal movements seasonally.

호주 동부와 동남부의 상징적인 유대류로, 체중이 최대 15kg이며 저칼로리인 유칼립투스 잎 식단에서 에너지를 절약하기 위해 하루 최대 22시간을 잠으로 보낸다. 대부분의 다른 포유류를 죽일 수 있는 유독한 유칼립투스 성분을 처리하도록 고도로 특화되어, 해독에 특별히 적응된 장내 미생물총을 지닌다. 2022년 기후 변화, 서식지 개발, 클라미디아 감염으로 인한 개체수 감소로 위기종으로 지정되었다.
