栗额金刚鹦鹉是一种中型金刚鹦鹉,分布于墨西哥南部至玻利维亚和巴西的中美洲和南美洲热带森林。主体羽色绿色,前额栗色,肩部红色,飞羽蓝色。它是真正金刚鹦鹉中最小的物种,栖息于森林边缘、稀树草原和次生林,常掠食农作物,在当地不受农民欢迎。它是受欢迎的笼养鸟,但野生种群因捕捉和森林砍伐而承受压力。

Comoro Flying Fox

<em>Pteropus livingstonii</em>, the Comoro flying fox or Livingstone's fruit bat, is a large fruit bat in the family Pteropodidae, endemic to the Comoro Islands in the western Indian Ocean, where it is restricted to Anjouan and Mohéli. It is one of the largest bats in the world, with a wingspan that can exceed one meter and a body weight reportedly ranging between 400–700 g. The species roosts colonially in tall native forest trees, particularly in humid upland forest fragments, and feeds on a variety of native fruits, nectar, and pollen, playing a critical role as a seed disperser and pollinator in Comoran forest ecosystems. Precise average lifespan data in the wild remain poorly documented, though captive individuals have lived over 20 years. <em>Pteropus livingstonii</em> is assessed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, making it one of the most threatened bat species in the world. Primary threats include extensive deforestation driven by agricultural expansion and charcoal production, which has severely reduced suitable roosting and foraging habitat, along with historic hunting. Conservation efforts include habitat protection, community education programs, and captive breeding initiatives at several European zoos coordinated through an international species survival program.
