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。

暗綠領蜂鳥

这是一种高海拔安第斯蜂鸟,因雄鸟喉部的琥珀橙色光泽如电气石(碧玺)而得名。栖息于哥伦比亚、委内瑞拉和厄瓜多尔海拔2,200至4,100米的帕拉莫草甸、云雾林和林缘地带。雄鸟的喉部会随光线角度呈现橙铜色至紫色的变化。与所有日天使蜂鸟一样,它们是蜂鸟中相对耐寒的物种,夜间可大幅降低代谢率以节省能量应对寒冷的安第斯夜晚。
