非洲灰鸚鵡

非洲灰鹦鹉被公认为最具智慧的鹦鹉物种和最强大的鸟类声音模仿者，能够掌握超过1,000个词汇，并表现出对零的概念、颜色、形状和相对大小的理解能力。原产于从科特迪瓦到肯尼亚的赤道非洲热带雨林，以大群聚居。由于每年多达21%的野生个体遭到捕捉以满足宠物贸易需求，以及森林砍伐的双重威胁，已成为濒危物种。《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录一对其贸易实施严格限制。

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。
