Green Sea Turtle

초록바다거북은 가장 큰 바다거북 중 하나입니다. 등딱지가 아닌 연골과 지방의 녹색에서 이름이 유래했습니다.

Greenish Puffleg

콜롬비아, 에콰도르, 파나마의 습윤한 안데스 산림에 서식하는 작은 녹색 벌새로, 'Haplophaedia' 속 모든 구성원이 공유하는 부척골의 흰 솜털 발 뭉치 — 부절의 깃털 다발 — 에서 이름이 유래했습니다. 해발 800~2,100미터의 숲 가장자리와 이차림에 서식하며, 하층 소형 꽃식물에서 꿀을 채취합니다. IUCN 적색 목록에서 관심 필요(LC)로 분류되며 서식 범위 전반에 걸쳐 개체군이 비교적 안정적입니다.
