Cheetah
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。
粉髯林星蜂鳥
冠饰星蜂鸟是一种微小的安第斯高山星蜂鸟,雄鸟具有相对于其2.5克体重而言异常巨大的壮观虹彩粉紫色喉饰。见于从哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉到秘鲁西北部海拔1,500至3,500米的山地林缘和花园。像所有星蜂鸟一样,在花朵附近的开阔地带进行嗡嗡声般的昆虫式悬停飞行。为了度过寒冷的安第斯之夜,它们进入深度夜间蛰伏——一种接近死亡的代谢状态。
