瓶鼻海豚
作为研究最广泛、最受认可的海豚物种,宽吻海豚栖息于全球从沿岸浅水到远洋的温暖和温带海域。高度智能,大脑相对体型较大,展示自我认知、复杂交流和社会学习。生活在流动的分裂-融合社会中,合作围捕鱼群。是海洋生态系统健康的关键指示物种。
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。
