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。

茶腹隐蜂鸟

棕腹隐蜂鸟（Phaethornis syrmatophorus）是一种大型隐蜂鸟，栖息于秘鲁、厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚的安第斯山麓湿润林，温暖的黄褐色下体与绿铜色上体形成对比，嘴长而弯曲。见于海拔300至1,500米的山地林下层。与所有大型隐蜂鸟一样，它们沿分散花朵的固定路线觅食。雄鸟聚集于传统求偶场，发出响亮的重复性鸣声以吸引雌鸟。
