Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
El atún rojo del Atlántico (Thunnus thynnus) es uno de los peces más grandes, más rápidos y de mayor valor económico del mundo, con individuos que pueden superar los 600 kilogramos. Su estado de conservación es en peligro (EN) y sus poblaciones silvestres han disminuido drásticamente por la sobrepesca, habiéndose llegado a subastar un solo ejemplar de calidad por más de tres millones de dólares en Japón.
León
El felino salvaje más grande de Africa, el león puede alcanzar hasta 250 kg y es el único félido social, viviendo en manadas en sabanas y praderas del Africa subsahariana. Los machos se distinguen por sus icónicas melenas. Como depredadores apicales, regulan las poblaciones de herbívoros y mantienen el equilibrio del ecosistema. Clasificado como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y el conflicto entre humanos y vida silvestre.
