藍鯨

蓝鲸是地球上已知存在过的最大动物,体长可达33米,体重达200吨,其心脏单独就重达一辆小型轿车的重量。分布于各大洋,在极地觅食地和热带繁殖地之间进行迁徙。它们是滤食性动物,每日可消耗多达4吨磷虾。蓝鲸被列为濒危物种,20世纪捕鲸活动使其濒临灭绝,目前全球种群估计约为1万至2.5万头。

嘰咋栗額鵙鶥

The Clicking Shrike-babbler, Pteruthius intermedius, is a small, chunky passerine bird in the family Vireonidae found in the montane forests of Southeast Asia and the eastern Himalayas, ranging from northeastern India and Bhutan through Myanmar, northern Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. The species inhabits subtropical and temperate broadleaf montane forests at elevations generally between 1,500 and 3,000 meters, where it forages actively in the forest canopy and mid-story for insects, larvae, and small berries. Males display striking plumage with a gray head, rufous flanks, and a white wing patch, while females are more cryptically colored in olive and buff. The name 'clicking' refers to the species' characteristic vocalizations, including sharp clicking and chattering calls used in territorial defense and pair communication. Pteruthius intermedius is typically encountered in pairs or small groups and regularly joins mixed-species bird flocks that forage through the forest interior, a common foraging strategy in diverse Asian montane bird communities. Montane forest birds of Southeast Asia face increasing pressure from deforestation, agricultural encroachment at forest margins, and climate-driven upslope habitat contraction. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by IUCN.
