Kemane balığı

Bamboo bear

Iconic black-and-white bear of the mountain bamboo forests of central China, giant pandas can weigh up to 125 kg and spend up to 14 hours daily consuming bamboo, which comprises 99% of their diet despite belonging to the order Carnivora. Solitary and elusive, they have a pseudo-thumb for gripping bamboo stems. Downgraded from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2016 following successful conservation and breeding programs.

Kemane balığı

The common guitarfish, <em>Rhinobatos rhinobatos</em>, is a cartilaginous fish belonging to the order Rhinopristiformes, family Rhinobatidae. It is a member of the guitarfish group, characterized by a flattened body with a distinct guitar-like silhouette formed by the fusion of the head, pectoral fins, and trunk. <em>Rhinobatos rhinobatos</em> is assessed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, representing severe conservation concern and indicating that this species faces an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Pressures such as overfishing and bycatch are commonly implicated in the decline of guitarfish species globally. Detailed habitat, range, and country distribution data are not available for this species in current records. No dietary information has been provided for this species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
