Comoro Rousette

<em>Rousettus obliviosus</em>, the Comoro rousette, is a fruit bat in the family Pteropodidae endemic to the Comoros archipelago in the Indian Ocean, primarily recorded from Anjouan and Mohéli islands. As an Old World fruit bat, it plays an important ecological role in pollination and seed dispersal across the island's native forests. The species inhabits tropical moist lowland and montane forests, roosting in caves and dense vegetation. Its range is severely restricted by the small land area of the Comoros, making it inherently vulnerable to habitat loss. Deforestation driven by agricultural expansion and charcoal production has significantly reduced available forest cover on the islands. The IUCN classifies the Comoro rousette as Vulnerable, reflecting ongoing population pressures and limited geographic distribution. It is presumed to feed on fruits, nectar, and pollen typical of Old World fruit bats, though detailed dietary studies are limited. Biological traits including precise body measurements and lifespan data remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation efforts on the Comoros islands face challenges due to limited resources, though the species benefits from some protection within national parks and forest reserves. Its survival depends on the preservation of intact native forest habitat across the archipelago.

Rose-ringed Parakeet

세계에서 가장 널리 퍼진 침입 앵무새 중 하나인 인도홍목도리앵무는 사하라 이남 아프리카와 남아시아가 원산지이지만, 새장에서 탈출한 개체로부터 유럽, 북아메리카, 일본, 오스트레일리아 등 35개국 이상에 대규모 야생 개체군을 형성했다. 수컷은 분홍색과 검정색의 독특한 목 띠를 갖는다. 적응력이 뛰어나고 번식력이 높아 런던, 암스테르담, 브뤼셀 같은 도시에서 도시 개체군이 급증했으며, 거대한 무리를 지어 내려앉아 토종 수동성 둥지 새들과 경쟁한다.
