乔科莺雀

The Choco Vireo (Vireo masteri) is a small, poorly known passerine in the family Vireonidae, with a highly restricted range in the western Andes foothills on the Pacific slope of Colombia and possibly adjacent Ecuador. It was described scientifically only in 1997, reflecting the challenges of survey work in the remote, wet, and botanically complex terrain of the Colombian Chocó. The Choco Vireo is a small greenish-yellow vireo with a distinctive facial pattern including a pale supercilium and dark eye-stripe. Like other vireos, it forages methodically through mid-canopy and sub-canopy foliage, gleaning caterpillars, beetles, and other invertebrates from leaves. Its song is a series of high, slurred phrases repeated with characteristic vireonid persistence. The species appears restricted to humid montane and foothill forest at elevations roughly between 800 and 1,800 metres — a zone severely impacted by the expansion of coca cultivation, illegal logging, and cattle ranching in the Colombian Pacific region. The IUCN classifies the Choco Vireo as Endangered given its extremely small and severely fragmented range and continued loss of suitable forest habitat. Very little is known about its population size, ecology, or breeding biology, making targeted survey and monitoring urgently needed.

Polar bear

北极熊是地球上最大的陆地食肉动物，体重可超过700千克，分布于从加拿大到俄罗斯的北极海冰区。是高度特化的海洋哺乳动物，依赖海冰捕猎环斑海豹和髯海豹。是优秀的游泳者，能够横渡广阔的开阔水域。被列为易危种，因气候变化导致北极海冰迅速减少，种群正受到严重威胁。
