Komodo Dragon

코모도왕도마뱀(Varanus komodoensis)은 현존하는 가장 큰 도마뱀이다. 인도네시아의 몇몇 섬에서만 서식한다.

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.
