叉尾妍蜂鳥

叉尾林仙蜂鸟（Thalurania furcata）是一种以其深叉形尾部命名的色彩绚丽的南美蜂鸟，雄鸟具有闪耀的紫蓝色喉部和绿色上体，以及深蓝色叉形外侧尾羽。广泛分布于安第斯山脉东侧从委内瑞拉和哥伦比亚到玻利维亚和巴西的热带森林中。高度具有领域性，会追赶其他蜂鸟争夺花蜜资源，是亚马逊和大西洋沿岸森林多种开花植物的重要传粉者。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物，体重最大可达15千克，为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量，每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化，能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分，拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减，2022年被列为濒危物种。
