粉髯林星蜂鳥

冠饰星蜂鸟是一种微小的安第斯高山星蜂鸟,雄鸟具有相对于其2.5克体重而言异常巨大的壮观虹彩粉紫色喉饰。见于从哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉到秘鲁西北部海拔1,500至3,500米的山地林缘和花园。像所有星蜂鸟一样,在花朵附近的开阔地带进行嗡嗡声般的昆虫式悬停飞行。为了度过寒冷的安第斯之夜,它们进入深度夜间蛰伏——一种接近死亡的代谢状态。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物,体重最大可达15千克,为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量,每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化,能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分,拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减,2022年被列为濒危物种。
