Common sawfly

<em>Allantus basalis</em> is a sawfly species within the family Tenthredinidae, order Hymenoptera, native to temperate regions of North America and Scandinavia, including records from Canada, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. As a member of the subfamily Allantinae, this species is part of a broadly distributed group of plant-associated insects. Adults are typically small, dark-bodied insects resembling stout wasps, and larvae are known to feed on the foliage of their specific host plants, though the precise host associations for this species remain incompletely characterized in the literature. <em>Allantus basalis</em> inhabits woodland margins, shrubby areas, and vegetated habitats across its range where suitable host plants occur. The species has not been assessed by the IUCN, and its conservation status is therefore listed as Not Evaluated. Biological traits for this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, including data on average lifespan, body size, weight, and specific dietary composition. Population trends are currently unknown, and the species does not appear to face significant recognized threats at this time.

giraffe

지구상에서 가장 키가 큰 동물인 기린(Giraffa camelopardalis)은 키가 5.5m에 달하고 체중이 최대 1,750kg에 이를 수 있다. 모든 포유류와 같이 7개의 경추로 이루어진 긴 목은 아프리카 사바나와 산림의 아카시아 나무 먹이 섭취를 위해 진화했다. 영구적인 결속 없이 느슨한 무리를 이루며 생활하는 사회적 동물로, 초저주파음과 몸짓으로 소통한다. 서식지 상실과 밀렵으로 개체군이 감소하고 있는 취약 종이다.
