美洲瓣蹼雞

美洲骨顶（Fulica americana）在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危（LC），是北美洲最常见的水鸟之一，广泛分布于各类淡水湖泊、池塘和沼泽中。该物种以全身黑色的羽毛和醒目的白色喙及额甲为识别特征，善于游泳和潜水，但并不属于真正的鸭类，而属于秧鸡科。骨顶在城市公园的水体中与人类共存，适应能力极强。

Cheetah

猎豹是地球上奔跑最快的陆地动物，在非洲和伊朗草原上短距离冲刺速度可达112千米/小时。体型纤细，胸深腿长，具有标志性的黑色泪纹。与其他大型猫科动物不同，猎豹以吱鸣声和咕噜声交流。由于栖息地碎片化和与更大型捕食者的竞争，猎豹被列为易危，野外仅剩约7,000只。
