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。

黑白食籽雀

黑白食籽雀（Sporophila luctuosa）是一种小型、花纹鲜明的食籽雀，雄鸟具有醒目的黑白羽色——纯黑的上体和翅膀与白色的下体形成强烈对比——栖息于从哥伦比亚至玻利维亚安第斯山脉的草地、林缘和种植园遮阴处等开放和半开放生境。是花纹最鲜明的Sporophila食籽雀之一。雌鸟为朴素的棕色和黄褐色。以草籽为食，雄鸟因其花纹和鸣声有时被作为笼鸟饲养。
