cloaked carpet

The cloaked carpet (Euphyia unangulata) is a geometrid moth in the family Geometridae found across temperate Europe and parts of western Asia. The adult wingspan typically measures 22–28 mm, with forewings displaying the characteristic carpet moth pattern of transverse bands and cross-lines in shades of grey, brown, and white, providing effective camouflage against tree bark and lichen-covered surfaces. The species inhabits deciduous woodland, scrubby hedgerows, and woodland margins where its larval foodplants, including chickweed (Stellaria species) and related low-growing herbaceous plants, are abundant. Adults fly in one or two generations per year depending on latitude, typically on the wing from late spring through late summer. Larvae feed through summer and autumn, pupating in soil or leaf litter. Like many geometrid moths, the cloaked carpet has experienced population declines across parts of its European range, attributed to loss of diverse woodland understory, reduction in traditional coppicing practices, and changes in land management that reduce the availability of shaded, moist microhabitats where foodplants thrive.

giraffe

지구상에서 가장 키가 큰 동물인 기린(Giraffa camelopardalis)은 키가 5.5m에 달하고 체중이 최대 1,750kg에 이를 수 있다. 모든 포유류와 같이 7개의 경추로 이루어진 긴 목은 아프리카 사바나와 산림의 아카시아 나무 먹이 섭취를 위해 진화했다. 영구적인 결속 없이 느슨한 무리를 이루며 생활하는 사회적 동물로, 초저주파음과 몸짓으로 소통한다. 서식지 상실과 밀렵으로 개체군이 감소하고 있는 취약 종이다.
