Collared Kingfisher

The Collared Kingfisher, known scientifically as Todiramphus chloris, is a widespread species of kingfisher belonging to the family Alcedinidae. One of the most broadly distributed kingfisher species in the world, Todiramphus chloris is recognised by its vivid turquoise or blue-green upperparts and clean white or buff underparts, with a distinctive white collar encircling the neck — a feature that gives the species its common name. The species occupies a remarkably diverse range of habitats, including mangroves, coastal forests, open woodland, and cultivated areas, reflecting considerable ecological adaptability. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Todiramphus chloris is a sit-and-wait predator, typically perching conspicuously before diving to capture prey such as insects, small reptiles, crustaceans, and fish. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented across the full range of subspecies in available literature. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

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.
