Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, Norway, and Venezuela.
giraffe
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Neotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Found in Ecuador. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
tinguaçu-ferrugem
The cinnamon attila (Attila cinnamomeus) is a medium-sized flycatcher in the family Tyrannidae, found across the northern and western parts of the Amazon basin in South America, including Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Trinidad, northern Brazil, and Ecuador. It inhabits the edges and interior of humid lowland and gallery forest, riverine thickets, and dense second growth from sea level to moderate elevations. The plumage is uniformly cinnamon-rufous, with a distinctive heavy bill, stout build, and upright, shrike-like posture characteristic of the attila group. Cinnamon attilas are predatory flycatchers, hunting large insects, small frogs, lizards, and occasionally birds' eggs or nestlings from conspicuous perches in the middle forest strata. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a wide northern Amazonian and Orinoco range and stable populations in intact humid forest. It is absent from Europe entirely; Norwegian database records are data entry errors reflecting incorrect geographic coordinates. The genus Attila comprises several Neotropical flycatchers with similar body form and hunting habits, often confused with each other in the field due to similar rufous coloration. The cinnamon attila's loud, varied calls are frequently heard in Amazonian and Orinoco riparian forest.
giraffe
A girafa (Giraffa camelopardalis) é o animal terrestre mais alto da Terra, podendo atingir 5,5 metros de altura e pesar até 1.750 kg. Seu pescoço alongado, contendo as mesmas sete vértebras cervicais de todos os mamíferos, evoluiu para se alimentar de acácias nas savanas e bosques africanos. Animal social que vive em manadas soltas sem vínculos permanentes, comunica-se por infrassons e linguagem corporal. Vulnerável, com populações em declínio devido à perda de habitat e à caça ilegal.
