在德州玫瑰谷的Fossil Rim野生动物中心，一只几周大的阿特沃特草原鸡正在它精致的小窝中休息。一百年前，多达上百万只的阿特沃特草原鸡曾在这里的海岸草原上徜徉。但由于过度捕猎以及生境流失，如今这种鸡在野外只剩下不到50只了。
A weeks-old Attwater’s prairie-chicken perches in a delicate nest in Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas. A century ago, as many as a million Attwater’s prairie-chickens roamed coastal grasslands here. Today fewer than 50 of these chickens are left in the wild, due to overhunting and habitat loss. |
