南非企鹅

非洲企鹅是唯一原产于非洲的企鹅物种，栖息于南非和纳米比亚沿海的岛屿及海岸地带。该物种因叫声似驴而得名「公驴企鹅」，在IUCN红色名录中被列为濒危（EN），面临食物减少、石油污染和气候变化等严峻威胁。近几十年来，其种群数量已大幅下降。

giraffe

长颈鹿（Giraffa camelopardalis）是地球上最高的动物，身高可达5.5米，体重最重可达1,750千克。其细长的颈部——与所有哺乳动物一样包含七块颈椎——是为了在非洲稀树草原和林地取食金合欢树而进化的。长颈鹿是社会性动物，生活在无固定纽带的松散兽群中，通过次声波和肢体语言进行交流。由于栖息地丧失和偷猎，种群持续减少，被列为易危。
