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。
長嘴星喉蜂鳥
长嘴星喉蜂鸟(Heliomaster longirostris)是一种大型独特的蜂鸟,具有异常细长而笔直的喙。雄性喉部羽毛呈虹彩绿色,眼后有醒目的白色斑块。分布从墨西哥经中美洲延伸至安第斯山脉以东的热带南美,海拔可达1500米。栖息于林缘、空地和花园,习惯停落于树顶暴露的枝条上,这与通常悬停觅食的蜂鸟有所不同。
