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。

紅額鸚鵡

红额鹦鹉(Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae)是一种具有鲜艳红色头顶和脸颊斑块的小型亮绿色鹦鹉,为新西兰特有种,栖息于从海平面到高山带的森林中。适应性极强,觅食种子、花朵、果实和昆虫。由于引入的捕食者(鼠类、白鼬、猫)威胁,在本土已濒危,但在无哺乳动物的近海岛屿上维持着健康种群。保育迁移和捕食者控制项目支持本土种群恢复。
