猎豹是地球上奔跑最快的陆地动物，在非洲和伊朗草原上短距离冲刺速度可达112千米/小时。体型纤细，胸深腿长，具有标志性的黑色泪纹。与其他大型猫科动物不同，猎豹以吱鸣声和咕噜声交流。由于栖息地碎片化和与更大型捕食者的竞争，猎豹被列为易危，野外仅剩约7,000只。

菲律宾短尾鹦鹉

<em>Loriculus philippensis</em>, the Colasisi or Philippine Hanging Parrot, is a small parrot in the family Psittaculidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it is not currently considered at elevated extinction risk. The Philippine Hanging Parrot is endemic to the Philippines, a country noted for its exceptional bird biodiversity. The species is typically associated with a variety of aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments within its range. <em>Loriculus</em> hanging parrots are known for their distinctive roosting behavior, often sleeping while hanging upside down from branches, which distinguishes them from most other parrots. Diet information for <em>Loriculus philippensis</em> is not available in the provided records, though members of this genus are generally known to feed on nectar, pollen, soft fruits, and buds. Biological traits such as body length, weight, and lifespan have not been specified in the available data for this species. Its role in pollination and seed dispersal within Philippine forest ecosystems may be ecologically significant, as is common for nectar-feeding parrots.
