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。

緋紅麥鷍

绯红金刚鹦鹉(Ara macao)是美洲色彩最为绚丽的鸟类之一,拥有鲜艳的红、黄、蓝羽毛,翼展可达1米。分布于墨西哥至玻利维亚的湿润低地森林,智力高超,寿命可达75年,并终生保持配对关系。它们会长途跋涉前往富含矿物质的土壤地点,通过摄入土壤来中和种子中的毒素。被列为无危,但因栖息地丧失和宠物贸易而在局部地区受到威胁。
