Common Cusimanse

<em>Crossarchus obscurus</em>, commonly known as the common cusimanse or long-nosed cusimanse, is a small social mongoose in the family Herpestidae. This species is native to the rainforests and dense tropical forests of West and Central Africa. Common cusimanses are highly social animals that typically live in family groups and forage cooperatively on the forest floor, using their elongated, flexible snouts to root through leaf litter and soil in search of invertebrates, small vertebrates, and fallen fruits. They communicate through a variety of vocalizations and are known to mob and harass potential predators. The species is diurnal and terrestrial, sheltering in burrows or dense vegetation at night. Common cusimanses are assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered stable across their range. Biological traits such as lifespan and body measurements remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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。
