乔科穴(共鸟)

The Choco Tinamou (Crypturellus kerriae) is a ground-dwelling bird in the family Tinamidae, one of the most ancient lineages of birds, endemic to the humid lowland and foothill forests of the Chocó biogeographic region, occurring in western Colombia and just extending into eastern Panama. Tinamous are secretive, largely terrestrial birds related to ratites despite their ability to fly, and are known for their extraordinarily beautiful, haunting calls — rich, melodic whistles or flute-like notes that echo through forest interiors at dawn and dusk. The Choco Tinamou inhabits the floor and lower understorey of humid tropical forest, where it forages for fallen fruits, seeds, invertebrates, and fungi. Like other Crypturellus tinamous, it is very difficult to observe directly in the dense undergrowth but may be detected reliably by voice. Nesting is unusual among tinamous: males incubate eggs and care for chicks while females may mate polygamously with multiple males. The IUCN classifies the Choco Tinamou as Vulnerable, reflecting severe ongoing deforestation in the Colombian Pacific lowlands for cattle ranching, palm oil, logging, and human settlement, which has drastically reduced and fragmented its forest habitat.

帝企鹅

帝企鹅是世界上体型最大的企鹅,身高可达1.2米,体重达45千克,栖息于南极大陆极端恶劣的环境中。它们在隆冬的黑暗中、零下60°C以下的严寒里繁殖,雄鸟将唯一的蛋置于脚背上,藏于育卵囊下孵化长达65天,而雌鸟则在此期间出海觅食。数千只帝企鹅组成的群体通过循环交换位置、使个体轮流经过温暖的核心区域这一抱团取暖行为,堪称合作生存的典范。
