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。
Red Fox
赤狐(Vulpes vulpes)是地球上分布最广的野生肉食动物,在北半球及澳大利亚引入区域,从北极冻原到城市环境的各类栖息地均有分布。以锈红色皮毛、白色腹部和蓬松尾巴为特征。高度适应性强的杂食者,从兔子、田鼠到水果、人类垃圾无所不食。可用40余种不同的叫声进行交流。
