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.

Красногрудый блестящехвостый колибри

One of the most colorfully named hummingbirds, rainbow-bearded thornbills display a distinctive long, multi-colored gorget — glittering from green to blue to violet — in a uniquely elongated beard-like pattern. They inhabit open páramo grassland and scrub at very high Andean elevations from 3,200–4,500 meters in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. Among the highest-altitude hummingbirds, they forage on low-growing páramo flowers and are adapted to sub-zero night temperatures through nocturnal torpor.
