Common Bulbul

The common bulbul (<em>Pycnonotus barbatus</em>) is a vocal and widespread songbird species with occurrences recorded in Belgium, France, Netherlands, Norway, and Slovenia in Europe, along with its broader range across Africa and parts of Asia. This species typically inhabits aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments, thriving in a variety of open woodland, scrubland, garden, and urban settings. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a large and stable global population. As a member of the family Pycnonotidae, the common bulbul is often recognized by its dark head, yellow vent, and melodious, chattering song. The species typically feeds on fruits, berries, insects, and nectar, making it an important seed disperser and pollinator in many ecosystems. The common bulbul often nests in low shrubs and trees, producing small clutches of eggs that are shared in incubation by both parents. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
