jaguar

美洲最大的猫科动物，体重可达100千克，体型粗壮健硕，毛皮具有独特的玫瑰形花纹。分布于墨西哥至南美洲，亚马逊和潘塔纳尔是其主要栖息地。美洲豹是出色的游泳健将和顶级捕食者，在调节猎物种群方面发挥关键作用。由于森林砍伐导致栖息地缩减，被列为近危（NT）物种。

Monarch

作为世界上最令人叹为观止的迁徙昆虫之一，帝王蝶（Danaus plexippus）在北美北部繁殖地和墨西哥山地森林越冬地之间进行多代往返迁徙，距离长达 4,800 千米。鲜艳的橙黑翅膀警告捕食者：其毒性来自幼虫期取食的乳草。由于繁殖地丧失、农药和气候变化，越冬种群自 1990 年代以来已减少 80% 以上，被列为濒危物种。
