黑脚毛腿蜂鸟

黑腿绒腿蜂鸟(Eriocnemis derbyi)因雄鸟独特的黑色大腿与白色腿部羽毛簇形成强烈对比而得名,栖息于厄瓜多尔和哥伦比亚海拔1,500至3,500米的湿润山地森林和林缘。雄鸟展示翠绿色羽毛和蓝紫色尾羽。由于安第斯云雾林遭农业开垦,种群数量下降,被列为近危(NT)物种。

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。
