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.

นกแขกเต้า

A medium-sized parakeet with rosy-red breast and cheek patches contrasting with green and grey plumage, red-breasted parakeets are found across South and Southeast Asia from Nepal and India east to Vietnam and Indonesia. They inhabit forest, mangroves, and cultivated areas, often aggregating in large flocks at fruiting trees and grain crops. Their range is one of the most fragmented among Psittacula parakeets. Widely kept in aviculture across Asia and Europe.
