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。

眼鏡鸚哥

世界最小的鹦鹉之一,眼镜鹦哥体长仅12厘米,栖息于哥伦比亚、巴拿马和委内瑞拉的湿润森林和林缘。以雄鸟显著的蓝色眼圈命名,这些袖珍绿色鹦鹉成群结队觅食种子、浆果和果实,嘈杂地穿越林冠。与许多小型新热带鹦鹉一样,面临栖息地砍伐的压力。因其紧凑的体型和好奇的性格而在鸟类饲养中广受欢迎。
