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.

Индийский павлин

Native to the Indian subcontinent and introduced widely, Indian peafowl are large, heavy birds — males (peacocks) reaching 2.3 meters including their spectacular iridescent tail trains of up to 150 feathers. The train's elaborate eyespot patterns are the product of sexual selection by peahens who assess male quality through train length and symmetry. Males fan and vibrate their feathers in dramatic courtship displays. The national bird of India.
