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。
長尾蜂鳥
长尾精灵蜂鸟(Aglaiocercus kingii)是装饰最为华丽的蜂鸟之一。雄性具有虹彩绿色羽毛和极度延长的带状外侧尾羽,可达22厘米,超过体长的三倍。分布于哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉安第斯云雾林海拔1400至2800米处。雄性会进行精心的展示飞行以吸引雌性。其华美的尾羽是雌性偏好驱动性选择的经典案例。
