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。

大西洋鹱

曼克斯鹱是北大西洋和北太平洋的中型海鸟,以卓越的导航能力而闻名。它们在一生中迁徙距离可达100万公里,每年往返于北大西洋岛屿繁殖地和南美洲越冬地之间。贴近海浪表面的硬翅剪水飞行是其典型特征。有一只个体存活超过55年,是有记录的寿命最长的野生鸟类之一。
