Commerson s Dolphin

<em>Cephalorhynchus commersonii</em>, commonly known as Commerson's Dolphin, is a small cetacean in the family Delphinidae. This species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List and is notable for its striking black-and-white coloration, which makes it one of the most visually distinctive dolphin species. Commerson's Dolphins typically inhabit coastal and nearshore marine environments of the Southern Hemisphere, particularly around the Falkland Islands, the southern tip of South America, and a geographically isolated population near the Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean. These dolphins are highly social animals, often observed in small groups engaging in acrobatic behaviors near the surface. They typically feed on fish, squid, and crustaceans, often hunting cooperatively in shallow waters and kelp beds. Their average lifespan is approximately 18 years, and they are known for their fast, energetic swimming. Commerson's Dolphins are sometimes caught as bycatch in fishing nets, posing a localized conservation concern despite their overall Least Concern status.

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.
