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。

葵花鳳頭鸚鵡

葵花凤头鹦鹉(Cacatua galerita)是最大、最具代表性的凤头鹦鹉之一,栖息于澳大利亚东部、新几内亚和摩鹿加群岛的森林和疏林地带,已被引入新西兰。它们高度聪明、寿命长(圈养时最长可达70年)、高度群居,以嘈杂著称,叫声在1公里以外均可听到。它们在城市地区剥树皮、啃木材、损坏农作物,成为害鸟,展示出对人类改造环境的惊人适应能力。
