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。

Japanese Cherry

日本樱花（Prunus serrulata）是日本春天的标志，每年春天盛开白色和粉色的花云，延续数百年的文化活动「赏花」（花见）由此而来。树高可达25米，经过千年的选择性培育，由野生樱属植物改良而来，主要通过嫁接繁殖的不育观赏品种为主。已知品种超过200种，染井吉野樱（Somei Yoshino）占据日本著名樱花大道的绝大部分。
