Синехвостый изумрудный колибри

A small, jewel-like hummingbird named for the brilliant blue-green iridescence of the tail feathers, male blue-tailed emeralds display glittering green plumage throughout with a contrasting deep blue-green forked tail. Found in lowland tropical forest edges, savannas, and gardens from Venezuela and Colombia east to Trinidad and south to Bolivia and Brazil. They are common in disturbed and secondary habitats, making them relatively resilient to habitat modification compared to more specialized hummingbirds.

giraffe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
