Orang-után

El mamífero arborícola más grande del mundo; los orangutanes de Borneo pesan hasta 90 kg y pasan la mayor parte de sus vidas en el dosel de la selva tropical de Borneo. Solitarios y semi-nómadas, construyen nidos nocturnos en los árboles y buscan frutas, hojas e invertebrados. En Peligro Crítico, con poblaciones que han disminuido más del 50% en los últimos 60 años debido a la deforestación por la expansión del aceite de palma y la caza ilegal.

Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
