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。

紅嘴相思鳥

红嘴相思鸟(Leiothrix lutea)是南亚和东南亚森林的华丽鸟类,具有鲜亮橙红色嘴、橄榄绿色上体和艳丽的黄橙色喉胸及红黄色翼斑。原产于喜马拉雅山脉和中国南部,因笼养鸟贸易被引入夏威夷、欧洲和日本。在林下层和林缘以6至30只的嘈杂群体生活。尽管存在引入地区的忧虑,全球仍被列为无危。
