Yun Bao

体重可达26千克的中型野生猫科动物云豹，栖息于从喜马拉雅东部经东南亚延伸至婆罗洲的热带和亚热带森林。以其独特的云状皮毛斑纹命名，它拥有野生猫科动物中相对头骨尺寸最长的犬齿，是能够头朝下爬下树木的出色攀爬者。因森林砍伐而被列为易危（VU），但总种群数量仍不清楚。

Collared Sprite

The Collared Sprite, known scientifically as <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em>, is a bat belonging to the order Chiroptera. <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em> is distinguished by a golden or pale collar of fur around the neck region, which gives rise to the species epithet "aureocollaris" — meaning golden-collared in Latin. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bats of this type are generally nocturnal, roosting during the day and emerging at night to forage on flying insects using echolocation. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Sprite is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is not currently considered to be at significant risk of decline.
