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.

Чернобрюхая муния

Also known as the black-headed munia, tricolored munias display striking chestnut, white, and black plumage. They inhabit grasslands, reed beds, and agricultural land across South and Southeast Asia from India to Indonesia.
