Collared Sprite
The Collared Sprite, known scientifically as <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em>, is a bat belonging to the order Chiroptera. <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em> is distinguished by a golden or pale collar of fur around the neck region, which gives rise to the species epithet "aureocollaris" — meaning golden-collared in Latin. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bats of this type are generally nocturnal, roosting during the day and emerging at night to forage on flying insects using echolocation. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Sprite is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is not currently considered to be at significant risk of decline.
Monarch
세계에서 가장 놀라운 이주 곤충 중 하나로, 제왕나비(Danaus plexippus)는 북아메리카 북부의 번식지와 멕시코 산악 산림의 월동지 사이를 최대 4,800 km의 다세대 왕복 이동을 합니다. 선명한 오렌지색과 검은색 날개는 애벌레 때 먹은 유액 식물에서 유래한 독성을 포식자에게 경고합니다. 1990년대 이후 서식지 손실, 농약 및 기후 변화로 인해 월동 개체군이 80% 이상 감소하여 멸종 위기종으로 분류됩니다.
