乔科巨嘴鸟

The Choco Toucan (Ramphastos brevis) is a large, colourful toucan in the family Ramphastidae, endemic to the humid forests of the Chocó biogeographic region along the Pacific slope of Colombia and Ecuador. Toucans are instantly recognisable by their enormous, brightly coloured bills — in this species, the bill is broadly yellow with a dark culmen ridge — which are used for reaching fruit on slender branches, as thermoregulatory organs, and in social and aggressive displays. The Choco Toucan is closely related to the Chestnut-mandibled Toucan and was previously considered conspecific. It inhabits lowland and foothill tropical rainforest, forest edges, and large trees in more open areas, occurring from sea level to approximately 1,200 metres. It feeds primarily on large fruits, supplemented by insects, lizards, small mammals, and the eggs and nestlings of smaller birds. Toucans are important seed dispersers in Neotropical forests, swallowing large seeds that pass through their digestive systems and are deposited at distance from parent trees. The IUCN classifies the Choco Toucan as Least Concern. While extensive deforestation in the Chocó is a long-term concern, the species still occupies a broad range of forested habitats and appears to tolerate some habitat modification.

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。
