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。

仙人掌地雀

Geospiza scandens, commonly known as the common cactus finch, is a bird species found in Ecuador and with records from Norway. It typically inhabits aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments, often closely associated with arid island ecosystems where cacti are prevalent. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it is not currently at risk of significant population decline at a global level. The common cactus finch belongs to the genus Geospiza within the family Thraupidae and is among the iconic Darwin's finches of the Galápagos Islands. It typically feeds on the nectar, pollen, and seeds of cactus plants, particularly Opuntia, and plays an important role as a pollinator and seed disperser within its island habitat. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body length, and mass of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Population trends are considered stable, and the species remains an important subject of evolutionary and ecological research.
