African elephant

非洲象是地球上体型最大的陆地动物，体重可达7,000千克，栖息于撒哈拉以南非洲的草原、稀树草原和森林中。作为关键种，它们通过挖掘水源、传播种子和改变植被结构，深刻塑造了其栖息地的生态系统。受栖息地丧失和象牙盗猎威胁，非洲象的保护至关重要。

横斑鹦哥

横纹小鹦鹉（Bolborhynchus lineola）是新大陆鹦鹉中体型最小的种类之一，栖息于从墨西哥南部至厄瓜多尔西部的中南美洲海拔1200至3000米的湿润山地森林。其绿色底色上特有的黑色横纹羽毛提供了出色的林冠伪装。常结成小群觅食种子和浆果，尤其偏爱竹林。相较于其他鹦鹉较为安静低调，野外研究甚少，部分鸟类爱好者有饲养记录。
