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。
緋紅麥鷍
绯红金刚鹦鹉(Ara macao)是美洲色彩最为绚丽的鸟类之一,拥有鲜艳的红、黄、蓝羽毛,翼展可达1米。分布于墨西哥至玻利维亚的湿润低地森林,智力高超,寿命可达75年,并终生保持配对关系。它们会长途跋涉前往富含矿物质的土壤地点,通过摄入土壤来中和种子中的毒素。被列为无危,但因栖息地丧失和宠物贸易而在局部地区受到威胁。
