Anchovy-Eater

大白鲨是地球上最大的掠食性鱼类,栖息于全球主要大洋的凉爽近岸和近海水域,体长可达6米,体重可达2,000千克。它是顶级捕食者,以海洋哺乳动物、大型鱼类和海鸟为主要猎物,从下方发动伏击。尽管声名狼藉,对人类的非激怒性攻击极为罕见。由于鱼翅贸易、兼捕和针对性捕捞,种群数量下降,尽管在许多地区受到法律保护,仍被列为易危(VU)。

collared mangabey

The Collared Mangabey, known scientifically as <em>Cercocebus torquatus</em>, is an Old World monkey belonging to the family Cercopithecidae. As a member of the genus Cercocebus, <em>Cercocebus torquatus</em> is recognised by its distinctive appearance, which typically includes a pale or white collar of fur around the neck region that contrasts with darker body colouration, lending the species its common name. Collared Mangabeys are typically associated with tropical rainforest habitats, particularly swamp forests and riverine forest environments, where they forage for fruits, seeds, invertebrates, and other food items on both the ground and in the canopy. The species is known for its loud, distinctive calls, which are used for communication across forest territories. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Mangabey is currently assessed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, primarily due to ongoing habitat loss from forest clearance and hunting pressure across its range.
