Bamboo bear

Iconic black-and-white bear of the mountain bamboo forests of central China, giant pandas can weigh up to 125 kg and spend up to 14 hours daily consuming bamboo, which comprises 99% of their diet despite belonging to the order Carnivora. Solitary and elusive, they have a pseudo-thumb for gripping bamboo stems. Downgraded from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2016 following successful conservation and breeding programs.

Коричневый аттила

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.
