<em>Loriculus philippensis</em>, the Colasisi or Philippine Hanging Parrot, is a small parrot in the family Psittaculidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it is not currently considered at elevated extinction risk. The Philippine Hanging Parrot is endemic to the Philippines, a country noted for its exceptional bird biodiversity. The species is typically associated with a variety of aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments within its range. <em>Loriculus</em> hanging parrots are known for their distinctive roosting behavior, often sleeping while hanging upside down from branches, which distinguishes them from most other parrots. Diet information for <em>Loriculus philippensis</em> is not available in the provided records, though members of this genus are generally known to feed on nectar, pollen, soft fruits, and buds. Biological traits such as body length, weight, and lifespan have not been specified in the available data for this species. Its role in pollination and seed dispersal within Philippine forest ecosystems may be ecologically significant, as is common for nectar-feeding parrots.

gray wolf

O lobo-cinzento (Canis lupus), o canídeo selvagem mais amplamente distribuído, ocorre da América do Norte à Eurásia em habitats diversos, incluindo tundra, florestas e pradarias. São animais altamente sociais que vivem em matilhas familiares lideradas por um casal reprodutor dominante. Como predadores-chave, os lobos regulam as populações de presas e moldam profundamente a estrutura do ecossistema, como demonstrou sua reintrodução em Yellowstone. Antes muito perseguidos, as populações estão se recuperando em muitas regiões.
