Common Hippopotamus, Hippopotamus, Large Hippo

아프리카에서 가장 위험한 대형 포유류인 하마(Hippopotamus amphibius)는 최대 3,200kg에 달하며 사하라 이남 아프리카의 강, 호수, 습지에 서식한다. 반수생 생활을 하며 하루 16시간까지 물에 잠겨 체온을 조절하고 밤에는 육지에서 풀을 뜯는다. 온순해 보이지만 매우 공격적이고 영역 방어가 강해 매년 수백 명의 인명 피해를 일으킨다. 취약 종으로 서식지 손실과 상아를 노린 밀렵으로 위협받고 있다.

Yellow-collared Lovebird

황금목사랑앵무(Agapornis personatus)는 탄자니아 북부 내륙 건조 지역에 제한적으로 분포하는 소형 앵무새로, 노란 목테와 보라빛 파란색 이마가 특징입니다. 군집성이 강하며 관목 사바나에 서식하고, 애완용으로 인기가 높아 야생에서도 탈출 개체가 전 세계적으로 정착했습니다. IUCN 적색목록에서 최소관심(LC)으로 분류됩니다.
