นกกระติ๊ดสีอิฐ

A small, sturdy estrildid finch with rich chestnut-brown plumage, black head, and white belly, chestnut munias inhabit grasslands, rice paddies, and open forest edges from India and Sri Lanka east through Southeast Asia to the Philippines and Taiwan. Highly gregarious, they form large flocks and are sometimes considered minor agricultural pests on rice crops. Widely kept as aviary birds across Asia, they are relatively easy to breed and maintain in captivity.

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.
