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。

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。
