The African chaffinch (Fringilla spodiogenys), is a species of passerine bird in the genus Fringilla. The African chaffinch is found from southern Morocco to northwestern Libya, and in Italy on the islands of Lampedusa and Pantelleria. There is also an isolated population in northeastern Libya. Its habitat includes deciduous forests and lowlands, and during the nonbreeding season extends its habitat to open areas including weedy fields and olive groves. The diet of the African chaffinch is similar to the Eurasian chaffinch, consisting mostly of small invertebrates and their larvae as well as flowers, seeds, and buds. This female African chaffinch was photographed in Sfax, Tunisia.

Hi Charlesjsharp,

This is to let you know that File:Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) Leona Amarga 2.jpg, a featured picture you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia’s picture of the day (POTD) for December 12, 2025. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2025-12-12. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day.

The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a species of mammal in the camelid family, Camelidae. Closely related to the llama, it is native to the steppes, scrublands and mountainous regions of South America, including Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Argentina. The guanaco is a diurnal animal, which lives in small herds consisting of either one male and several females with their young, or separate bachelor herds. It can run at speeds of up to 64 km/h (40 mph), important for avoiding predation. A herbivore, the guanaco grazes on grasses, shrubs, herbs, lichens, fungi, cacti, and flowers, while its natural predators include the puma and the culpeo (Andean fox). Some guanacos are found domesticated in zoos and private herds around the world, and its fiber is also harvested for use in luxury fabrics, being noted for its soft, warm feel. This guanaco was photographed in Torres del Paine, Chile.
