Zang-ling yang

The Chiru (Pantholops hodgsonii), also known as the Tibetan Antelope, is a bovid endemic to the Tibetan Plateau and adjacent high-altitude grasslands of China, with small populations in India. Males bear long, slender, nearly vertical horns that can exceed 70 centimetres in length, while females are hornless. The species is highly adapted to life at elevations of 3,700–5,500 metres, possessing a dense, fine underfur known as shahtoosh — one of the finest animal fibres in the world — which provided insulation against extreme cold but also made chiru a prime target for illegal poaching. Massive hunting pressure during the late twentieth century for shahtoosh shawl production devastated populations, which fell to as few as 75,000 individuals. Following intensified conservation efforts, trade bans, and anti-poaching patrols in China, numbers have partially recovered, though the species remains Near Threatened. Chiru are highly migratory; females undertake remarkable annual migrations of up to 300 kilometres to reach calving grounds in the Chang Tang plateau. Males typically remain at lower elevations year-round. They graze on grasses, sedges, and forbs, and face ongoing threats from climate change affecting high-altitude pasture productivity and from infrastructure development fragmenting migration corridors.

領印加蜂鳥

领印加蜂鸟是一种栖息于哥伦比亚至玻利维亚安第斯山地森林的中大型蜂鸟,具有醒目的黑白羽毛,带有宽阔的白色胸带和飞行时清晰可见的白色尾斑。栖息于海拔1700-3200米的森林和森林边缘,在多种开花植物上觅食,是安第斯大型花灌木和乔木的重要传粉者。对比鲜明的白色尾斑在悬停飞行时闪烁明显,有助于物种识别。
