黑腰梅花雀

黑腰文鸟（Estrilda troglodytes）是撒哈拉以南非洲和萨赫勒地区半干旱及干旱灌丛的小型梅花雀，具有与灰褐色体羽形成鲜明对比的朱红色喙和腰部。栖息于干燥草地、稀树草原边缘及耕作地，以小型草籽为食。外形精致，性情活泼且具有群居性，是欧洲和亚洲颇受欢迎的笼养观赏鸟。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物，体重最大可达15千克，为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量，每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化，能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分，拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减，2022年被列为濒危物种。
