волк

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.

Сливоголовый красногузый попугай

A medium-sized Pionus parrot of high Andean cloud forests in Peru and Bolivia, plum-crowned parrots display distinctive purple-violet crown plumage with white cheeks and green body. Found at elevations between 2,400–4,000 meters in montane humid forest near the tree line, making them among the highest-altitude Pionus species. They travel in small flocks foraging on seeds, berries, and blossoms. Relatively little known in captivity, and Least Concern in wild populations.
