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.

Tawny-bellied Hermit

Um grande ermitao-beija-flor das florestas umidas das encostas andinas do Peru, Equador e Colombia, o ermitao-de-ventre-fulvo tem as partes inferiores de tom fulvo quente contrastando com as partes superiores verde-bronzeadas e um bico longo e fortemente curvo. Encontrado entre 300 e 1.500 metros de altitude no sub-bosque da floresta montana. Como todos os grandes ermitaos, e um forrageador de rotas fixas que visita longas trajetorias de flores muito esparsas. Os machos se reeunem em locais de lek tradicionais onde produzem vocalizacoes altas e repetitivas para atrair femeas.
