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。

Collared Crow

Corvus pectoralis, the Collared Crow, is a large corvid in the family Corvidae. This species is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, indicating a high risk of extinction under current conditions. It is documented in Taiwan and is also found in eastern China, inhabiting lowland areas including river valleys, agricultural land, and coastal regions. The Collared Crow is named for the distinctive white collar that separates its black head and upperparts from its white underparts. Members of the genus Corvus are known for high intelligence, omnivorous diets, and adaptability to human-modified landscapes. Despite this adaptability, Corvus pectoralis has experienced significant population declines, likely attributable to habitat loss, hunting pressure, and possibly competition with other corvids. Diet, population estimates, and biological measurements including average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in available records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its Vulnerable status underscores the need for targeted conservation actions within its range.
