collared mangabey
The Collared Mangabey, known scientifically as <em>Cercocebus torquatus</em>, is an Old World monkey belonging to the family Cercopithecidae. As a member of the genus Cercocebus, <em>Cercocebus torquatus</em> is recognised by its distinctive appearance, which typically includes a pale or white collar of fur around the neck region that contrasts with darker body colouration, lending the species its common name. Collared Mangabeys are typically associated with tropical rainforest habitats, particularly swamp forests and riverine forest environments, where they forage for fruits, seeds, invertebrates, and other food items on both the ground and in the canopy. The species is known for its loud, distinctive calls, which are used for communication across forest territories. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Mangabey is currently assessed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, primarily due to ongoing habitat loss from forest clearance and hunting pressure across its range.
Emperor Penguin
세계에서 가장 큰 펭귄인 황제펭귄(Aptenodytes forsteri)은 키가 최대 1.2m에 몸무게가 45kg에 달하며, 지구상에서 가장 혹독한 환경인 남극 대륙에 서식합니다. 영하 60°C 이하의 한겨울 암흑 속에서 번식하며, 수컷이 암컷이 바다에 있는 동안 65일 동안 발 위에서 육아낭 아래에 알 한 개를 품습니다. 수천 마리가 모인 무리에서 개체들이 따뜻한 중심부를 순환하는 이른바 허들링 행동은 협동적 생존의 훌륭한 사례입니다.
