Komodo Dragon

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

Rusty-faced Parrot

녹슨얼굴앵무(Hapalopsittaca amazonina)는 콜롬비아와 베네수엘라의 고지대 운무림과 안데스 산비탈에 서식하는 중형 앵무새로, 녹색 깃털과 독특한 주황빛 적갈색 얼굴 및 이마가 특징이다. 해발 1,500~3,000m의 습윤 산악림에 서식하며, 외딴 가파른 서식지로 인해 연구가 많지 않다. 안데스 운무림의 지속적인 삼림 벌채로 인해 취약(VU)종으로 등재되어 있다. 먹이 가용성에 따라 숲이 우거진 능선을 계절적으로 이동한다.
