林鸱

灰潜鸟(Nyctibius griseus)是栖居于从墨西哥到阿根廷的中美洲和南美洲热带森林的夜行性鸟类,白天静止不动地栖息在折断的树桩或树枝上,眼睛微张,保护色完美到几乎与树皮融为一体,捕食者难以发现。入夜后,它们从暴露的栖枝上张开巨大的嘴捕食大型昆虫。其哀婉、令人毛骨悚然的鸣叫声在热带雨林的夜晚回荡不绝。

帝企鹅

帝企鹅是世界上体型最大的企鹅,身高可达1.2米,体重达45千克,栖息于南极大陆极端恶劣的环境中。它们在隆冬的黑暗中、零下60°C以下的严寒里繁殖,雄鸟将唯一的蛋置于脚背上,藏于育卵囊下孵化长达65天,而雌鸟则在此期间出海觅食。数千只帝企鹅组成的群体通过循环交换位置、使个体轮流经过温暖的核心区域这一抱团取暖行为,堪称合作生存的典范。
