Читать полностью…The parrot kea Nestor notabilis is endemic to New Zealand, outwardly similar to a falcon or a small eagle with a large head and a predatory, downward-curved beak. Despite its relatively small size, kea has remarkable strength and flies perfectly.
Body length about 45 cm, weight 600-1000 g. The color of the plumage is dominated by olive green, sometimes slightly brownish color, under the wings the feathers are painted bright red. Paws are gray. The name is onomatopoeic, derived from the loud cry: "keee-aa".
They are known for their exploratory behavior and the ability to deftly use their beak, which, combined with developed curiosity, makes them a scourge for locals and entertainment for tourists. Nicknamed the "clowns of the mountains", they do not miss the opportunity to explore the contents of backpacks or cars that they liked.

This monitor lizard, which has a very impressive appearance, has a fairly strong neck, powerful shoulders, but a relatively small head. The big tail serves him not only as a support when moving, but also as a weapon for clarifying the relationship between rivals.
The body size of an adult male can reach 3 m, and the weight is from 80 to 180 kg, females are somewhat smaller.
Despite their seeming clumsiness, these lizards run at speeds up to 40 km/h, sometimes competing with deer and antelopes. The monitor lizard, hunting, even overtakes these ungulates.
The Komodo lizard lives in southeast Asia, including the scattered islands of the archipelago of the Lesser Sunda Islands.
Owls are able to see prey in the grass from a height of more than 3 kilometers.
