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。
原鴿
原鸽(Columba livia)是世界上最成功的鸟类之一,原产于欧洲、北非和南亚的海岸悬崖与洞穴,但经过数千年驯化并被引入至全球每一个城市中心。其利用磁场、太阳位置和地标导航数千公里的卓越归巢能力,使其成为重要的军事信使和竞技赛鸽。如今,野化种群栖居于全球所有主要城市。
