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。

橙頰梅花雀

Orange-cheeked Waxbill（Estrilda melpoda，橙颊梅花雀）是一种迷人的小型梅花雀，以灰色头部、棕色背部和淡白色腹部为背景，具有醒目的橙色颊斑。原产于西非和中非的潮湿森林及林缘。以小型草籽和杂草种子为食，常在水边活动。作为笼养鸟被广泛饲养，在波多黎各、欧洲和亚洲部分地区已建立野生种群。活跃而好群居，配对关系牢固。
