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。

白胁刺花鸟

白胁穿花鸟(Diglossa albilatera)是栖息于哥伦比亚至玻利维亚安第斯云雾林和林缘的中型穿花雀,具有深灰蓝色羽毛与独特白色胁斑的鲜明对比。与所有穿花雀一样,其尖锐钩状微上翘的喙可刺穿管状花基部盗取花蜜而不授粉,因此有「蜜贼」之名。见于海拔1,500至3,500米,在安第斯花园和林缘常能见到。
