brown-throated three-toed sloth

棕喉三趾树懒是世界上行动最缓慢的哺乳动物之一，倒挂于中南美洲热带雨林的林冠层，平均时速仅0.24公里。其低代谢率是对营养贫乏的叶片食性的关键适应。毛皮中生长的藻类提供伪装，并可能携带具有抗菌特性的共生真菌。蛾、甲虫和真菌在树懒毛皮中形成一个微型生态系统。

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。
