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。

暗綠領蜂鳥

这是一种高海拔安第斯蜂鸟,因雄鸟喉部的琥珀橙色光泽如电气石(碧玺)而得名。栖息于哥伦比亚、委内瑞拉和厄瓜多尔海拔2,200至4,100米的帕拉莫草甸、云雾林和林缘地带。雄鸟的喉部会随光线角度呈现橙铜色至紫色的变化。与所有日天使蜂鸟一样,它们是蜂鸟中相对耐寒的物种,夜间可大幅降低代谢率以节省能量应对寒冷的安第斯夜晚。
