褐紫耳蜂鳥

棕紫耳蜂鸟是紫耳蜂鸟属中唯一以棕色为主的物种,上体呈褐铜色,具有诊断性的蓝紫色耳斑。分布于危地马拉至委内瑞拉、哥伦比亚和巴西,南至玻利维亚的湿润森林及林缘。栖息于低地至海拔2000米的森林内部、林缘及花园。尽管羽色对蜂鸟而言相对朴素,但紫色耳斑在直射阳光下会熠熠闪光。

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。
