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。

白头文鸟

白头文鸟(Lonchura maja)是一种具有独特白色头部和栗色胁部的中型群居梅花雀,分布于从泰国至菲律宾的东南亚森林、次生林和稻田。高度合群,常聚集成大群觅食草种和稻谷。白色头部与深褐色体羽形成鲜明对比,是视觉上最具特色的文鸟之一。在亚洲是深受喜爱的笼养鸟,人工饲养下繁殖较为容易。
