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。

giraffe

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。
