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.

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。
