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。

发光腿绒蜂鸟是一种色彩绚丽的腿绒蜂鸟,分布于从哥伦比亚到厄瓜多尔南部的北安第斯山脉,在明亮光线下展示出几乎发光般的鲜艳虹彩绿色羽毛,这正是该物种描述性俗名的灵感来源。栖息于海拔1,800至3,500米的湿润山地林。雄鸟具有特征性的白色腿绒和闪耀的紫蓝色尾羽。是安第斯高山开花植物的重要传粉者,被列为无危。
