Colombian Oldfield Mouse

<em>Thomasomys dispar</em>, commonly known as the Colombian Oldfield Mouse, is a small rodent species belonging to the genus <em>Thomasomys</em> within the family Cricetidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient, indicating that insufficient information is currently available to evaluate its conservation status with confidence. It has been documented in Colombia, where it inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments. Members of the genus <em>Thomasomys</em> are typically associated with high-altitude Andean habitats, including páramo grasslands, shrublands, and montane forest edges, where they occupy ground-level microhabitats and burrow in soft soils. These mice are generally omnivorous, consuming seeds, plant material, and invertebrates, though specific dietary data for <em>Thomasomys dispar</em> have not been recorded. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The Data Deficient classification highlights the need for targeted surveys in Colombian Andean regions to determine population size, distribution, and the ecological requirements of this poorly known rodent.

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.
