黃尾冕蜂鳥

一种因温暖的浅黄色尾基和冠状虹彩头部而得名的大型健壮蜂鸟,栖息于哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔北部安第斯山脉的云雾林和林缘,海拔1200至2800米。相对具攻击性,会守卫富含花蜜的领地并在大型开花树上觅食。相对于低地物种而言,其较大体型反映了对高海拔低温采食环境的适应。被列为无危。

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。
