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.

爪哇禾雀

爪哇禾雀是东亚最受欢迎的笼鸟之一，外形优美，具有灰色羽毛、醒目的黑色头部、白色颊斑和鲜红色喙。原产于印度尼西亚的爪哇岛和巴厘岛，已被引入亚洲、非洲和美洲的许多地区。栖息于开阔草地、水稻田和农耕地，有时会危害水稻作物。由于笼鸟贸易的严重捕捉压力，在原产地被列为易危物种。
