Comet Darner
<em>Anax longipes</em>, the comet darner, is a large dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is endemic to the United States, where it inhabits lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers with clear water and abundant emergent vegetation. The comet darner is one of the largest North American dragonflies and is distinguished by its brilliant coloration, including a green thorax and a red-spotted abdomen in mature males. The species name longipes refers to its notably long legs. Adults are powerful aerial predators, feeding on a variety of flying insects captured in flight. Larvae are aquatic and predatory, developing in the benthic zone of freshwater habitats where they feed on invertebrates and small vertebrates. The comet darner undertakes seasonal dispersal movements and is most commonly observed near its breeding water bodies during the warmer months.
Scarlet Macaw
아메리카 대륙에서 가장 화려한 색을 자랑하는 새 중 하나인 붉은 마코앵무(Ara macao)는 선명한 빨강, 노랑, 파랑 깃털과 최대 1미터에 이르는 날개 폭을 지닙니다. 멕시코에서 볼리비아에 이르는 습윤한 저지대 숲에 서식하며, 지능이 높고 최대 75년을 살 수 있는 장수 동물로 평생 짝을 이루어 생활합니다. 씨앗의 독소를 제거하기 위해 미네랄이 풍부한 흙을 섭취하는 클레이 릭까지 장거리를 이동합니다. 최소관심 종으로 분류되지만 서식지 파괴와 애완동물 거래로 인해 지역적으로 위협을 받고 있습니다.
