仓鸮

仓鸮（Tyto alba）是地球上分布最广泛的猫头鹰种类，除南极洲外遍布各大洲，栖息于从热带雨林到温带农田的几乎所有生境类型。其心形脸盘可将声音汇集至非对称排列的耳部，使其能在完全黑暗中仅凭声音定位猎物。它们将猎物整个吞下，再将不可消化的骨骼和毛发压缩成食丸吐出，是农业中珍贵的鼠类防治帮手。

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。
