koala

Iconic marsupial of eastern and southeastern Australia, koalas weigh up to 15 kg and spend up to 22 hours daily sleeping to conserve energy from their low-calorie eucalyptus leaf diet. Highly specialized to process toxic eucalyptus compounds that would kill most other mammals, they have gut microbiomes uniquely adapted for detoxification. Listed as Endangered in 2022, with populations decimated by chlamydia disease, habitat clearing, and climate change.

Клиноклювый колибри

A tiny, inconspicuous hummingbird of humid forests and forest edges in the Andes and northern South America, wedge-billed hummingbirds have a distinctive short, wedge-shaped bill adapted to short-tubed flowers of the Heliconia genus. They inhabit elevations from lowland to 2,400 meters, often foraging in the understory of dense cloud forest. Males have subtle green and bronze-green iridescent plumage. They frequently hover in the shade of the forest floor, making them difficult to observe.
