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。

紅腳旋蜜雀

红腿蜜雀(Cyanerpes cyaneus)是一种与唐纳雀有关的小型色彩艳丽的吸蜜鸟,雄鸟展示鲜艳的宝蓝色羽毛和明亮的红腿——这一诊断特征为该种命名——以及细长弯曲、黄色尖端的嘴。分布于从墨西哥向南至玻利维亚、巴西及特立尼达的热带和亚热带森林冠层。用长嘴探入花朵采蜜,其嘴可进入短嘴鸟类无法到达的花朵。是热带冠层树木花朵的重要传粉者,广泛分布于新热带低地湿润森林。
