The common bronzewing (<em>Phaps chalcoptera</em>) is a medium-sized ground-dwelling pigeon with records from Norway, though it is primarily an Australian species with a range spanning various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic habitats. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting stable population numbers across its range. As a member of the family Columbidae, the common bronzewing is typically recognized by the iridescent bronze and green patches on its wings, which shimmer in sunlight. The species often inhabits a wide variety of environments, including eucalyptus woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and areas near water sources. The common bronzewing typically feeds on seeds, grasses, and other plant material foraged from the ground. It is often seen drinking at waterholes and watercourses, and is known for its distinctive hooting call. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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.
