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。

灰背舞雀

灰盐鸟是一种中大型健壮的鸟类,上体灰色,下体近白,具有被黑色髭纹镶边的醒目白喉,栖息于从墨西哥经中美洲至玻利维亚和阿根廷的广大分布区内的林缘、庭园和次生林地。适应性极强,在热带拉丁美洲各地的城郊公园和庭园中均能茁壮生长。它们发出丰富多变的悦耳鸣声,是受干扰的新热带景观中较为常见的大型鸣禽之一。
