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.

cigarrinha-do-norte

O cigarra-pizarra (Sporophila schistacea) e um pequeno coleiro de coloracao azul-ardosia nos machos, com bico palido, que habita pastagens abertas, savanas e bordas de floresta desde a Nicaragua ate a Bolivia ao longo do flanco pacifico da America do Sul. Forrageiam em pequenos bandos sobre sementes de gramineas. Como muitos Sporophila, sofre pressao pela captura para o comercio de aves de gaiola e pela perda de habitat devido a conversao de pastagens.
