凤头百灵

以其独特的长而尖的冠羽命名的中型云雀,栖息于欧洲、北非以及向东延伸至中国的亚洲干燥开阔地区、农田、路边和荒漠边缘。很少栖于树上的地栖性鸟类,昂着冠羽自信地行走。比大多数云雀迁徙性更弱,许多种群全年定居。从地面和低矮栖木上发出丰富悦耳的歌声。西欧种群因农业变化而减少。

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。
