Ethiopian Bushcrow Zavattariornis stresemanni
The range of this species is quite restricted, it being confined to thorn acacia country in southern Ethiopia. It can be absent from apparently suitable country near these areas; the reasons are now thought to be related to the species requiring a "bubble" of lower temperature for proper foraging, which is only present within its small range, making it one of the few warm-blooded animals whose survival is wholly dependent on temperature. This requirement makes it extremely vulnerable to climate change.
