棕腹皇鳩

The cinnamon-bellied imperial pigeon (Ducula basilica) is a large, arboreal fruit pigeon in the family Columbidae, endemic to the Moluccas (Maluku Islands) of eastern Indonesia, including Halmahera, Bacan, Obi, Ternate, and adjacent smaller islands. It inhabits primary and mature secondary lowland and hill forest, where it feeds on fruits, figs, and berries in the forest canopy. The plumage is largely dark metallic green above with a distinctive cinnamon-rufous underside that differentiates it from related imperial pigeons. Large fruit pigeons of the genus Ducula are important seed dispersers in island forest ecosystems, capable of swallowing large fruits whole and dispersing seeds far from parent trees. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered stable in the Moluccas. However, all large fruit pigeons are susceptible to hunting pressure and habitat loss, and monitoring is needed given ongoing forest conversion in eastern Indonesia. The Moluccas harbor exceptional bird diversity due to their position between Asian and Australasian biotas. This species is absent from Europe entirely; Norwegian database records are incorrect geographic artifacts. Conservation of intact lowland forest in the Moluccas is important for this and many co-occurring endemic species.

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。
