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。

灰蓝粗嘴雀

一种栖息于亚马逊盆地、中美洲和南美洲北部潮湿低地森林的大型厚嘴食籽鸟，全身羽毛呈均匀的深板岩灰色，具有强壮的淡色喙。尽管名为灰色大嘴雀，但其实被归入Saltator属。栖息于茂密的湿润森林内部和林缘，成对或小群觅食大型种子和坚硬果实。其强大的喙能裂开大多数其他鸟类无法处理的坚硬种子。在IUCN红色名录中被列为无危物种。
