Collared Mongoose

The Collared Mongoose, known scientifically as <em>Herpestes semitorquatus</em>, is a small carnivorous mammal belonging to the family Herpestidae. <em>Herpestes semitorquatus</em> is characterised by a distinctive pale collar or band of lighter fur around the neck region, which gives the species its common name and differentiates it from other mongoose species within the genus. Mongooses of the genus Herpestes are typically agile, terrestrial predators that inhabit a range of forested and scrubland environments. They are generally known to feed on invertebrates, small vertebrates, and eggs. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Mongoose is currently assessed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, indicating that while the species does not yet qualify as threatened, it is considered to be close to qualifying, and monitoring of population trends is warranted.

Fischer's Lovebird

피셔러브버드(Agapornis fischeri)는 탄자니아와 케냐의 빅토리아 호수 주변 사바나 우림과 산림 가장자리가 원산지인 소형 화려한 색의 사랑새이다. 몸은 녹색이며 머리와 목은 선명한 주황색, 부리는 붉다. 강한 쌍결합을 형성하여 서로 깃털을 다듬어 주는 행동이 '러브버드'라는 이름의 유래가 되었다. 전 세계 애완용 포획으로 인해 준위협으로 등재되었으며, 사육 환경에서 다양한 색 변이종이 개발되었다.
