括雲扇尾鶯
The cloud-scraping cisticola (Cisticola dambo) is a small passerine bird in the family Cisticolidae native to sub-Saharan Africa, found in seasonally flooded grasslands, dambos (seasonal wetland grasslands), and moist montane meadows from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania south through Zambia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe. Males perform spectacular, high-altitude aerial song flights, ascending so high they seem to disappear into the clouds — giving the species its evocative common name. The plumage is cryptically streaked brown and buff, with males showing a more defined facial pattern during the breeding season. Like other cisticolas, it constructs an elaborate woven grass nest low in grass tussocks. The cloud-scraping cisticola is highly dependent on seasonally inundated grasslands and dambos, habitats increasingly threatened by drainage for agriculture, overgrazing, and invasion of exotic plant species. Population declines in parts of its range are attributed to the loss and degradation of dambo habitats across the miombo woodland regions of central Africa, where these seasonal wetlands support exceptional biodiversity including numerous highly specialized bird species.
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。
