Cheetah

The fastest land animal on Earth, reaching speeds of 112 km/h over short distances across African and Iranian grasslands. Slender build with a deep chest, long legs, and distinctive black tear-stripe markings. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs vocalize with chirps and purrs. Vulnerable, with only ~7,000 remaining due to habitat fragmentation and competition with larger predators.

Бирюзовая танагра-медосос

A small, strikingly colored tanager-related honeycreeper, males display vivid royal blue plumage with bright red legs — the diagnostic feature giving the species its name — and a long, curved, yellow-tipped bill. Found in tropical and subtropical forest canopy from Mexico south to Bolivia and Brazil, including Trinidad. They probe flowers for nectar, and their long bill accesses flowers unavailable to shorter-billed birds. Important pollinators of tropical canopy tree flowers. Common and widespread across humid neotropical lowland forests.
