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。

白胁刺花鸟

白胁穿花鸟（Diglossa albilatera）是栖息于哥伦比亚至玻利维亚安第斯云雾林和林缘的中型穿花雀，具有深灰蓝色羽毛与独特白色胁斑的鲜明对比。与所有穿花雀一样，其尖锐钩状微上翘的喙可刺穿管状花基部盗取花蜜而不授粉，因此有「蜜贼」之名。见于海拔1,500至3,500米，在安第斯花园和林缘常能见到。
