灰穴(共鳥)

The cinereous tinamou (Crypturellus cinereus) is a ground-dwelling bird in the family Tinamidae, found across lowland Amazonia in South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, and the Guianas. It inhabits humid tropical forest interior, particularly terra firme and occasionally várzea, where it walks through the undergrowth foraging for fallen fruits, seeds, and invertebrates. Like all tinamous, it has a round body, reduced wings, and strong legs adapted for a largely terrestrial lifestyle, and it produces a distinctive haunting whistle heard throughout Amazonian forest. The cinereous tinamou is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a wide Amazonian distribution and populations that, while sensitive to hunting pressure, remain abundant in intact forest. Tinamous are among the most ancient lineages of birds, more closely related to rheas and ostriches than to most modern birds. This species is hunted for food by forest communities across its range. Its distribution is entirely within Amazonian South America, and it has no presence in Europe; any Norwegian database record is a data entry error. Conservation of Amazonian forest is the primary need for this species, as it is vulnerable to hunting pressure and habitat loss from deforestation. Males incubate the eggs and raise the chicks, a pattern unusual among birds.

长颈鹿（Giraffa camelopardalis）是地球上最高的动物，身高可达5.5米，体重最重可达1,750千克。其细长的颈部——与所有哺乳动物一样包含七块颈椎——是为了在非洲稀树草原和林地取食金合欢树而进化的。长颈鹿是社会性动物，生活在无固定纽带的松散兽群中，通过次声波和肢体语言进行交流。由于栖息地丧失和偷猎，种群持续减少，被列为易危。
