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。

紅腳旋蜜雀

红腿蜜雀（Cyanerpes cyaneus）是一种与唐纳雀有关的小型色彩艳丽的吸蜜鸟，雄鸟展示鲜艳的宝蓝色羽毛和明亮的红腿——这一诊断特征为该种命名——以及细长弯曲、黄色尖端的嘴。分布于从墨西哥向南至玻利维亚、巴西及特立尼达的热带和亚热带森林冠层。用长嘴探入花朵采蜜，其嘴可进入短嘴鸟类无法到达的花朵。是热带冠层树木花朵的重要传粉者，广泛分布于新热带低地湿润森林。
