Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Found in Norway. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
Chimpancé
El pariente vivo más cercano de la humanidad, compartiendo aproximadamente el 98,7% del ADN, los chimpancés habitan los bosques tropicales y las sabanas arbóreas de África central y occidental. Primates altamente inteligentes y sociales que usan y fabrican herramientas, muestran tradiciones culturales y se comunican con vocalizaciones ricas, incluido el distintivo jadeo-grito. En Peligro, con poblaciones que disminuyen debido a la deforestación, la caza de animales silvestres y la transmisión de enfermedades por parte de los humanos.
Pingüino emperador
El pingüino más grande del mundo, el pingüino emperor puede medir hasta 1,2 metros de altura y pesar 45 kg, habitando el continente antártico en algunas de las condiciones más extremas de la Tierra. Se reproduce en la oscuridad del invierno a temperaturas inferiores a -60°C, con los machos incubando un único huevo sobre sus patas bajo una bolsa de cría durante 65 días mientras las hembras están en el mar. Su comportamiento de apiñarse —haciendo circular a los individuos a través del cálido centro de grupos de miles de ejemplares— es una obra maestra de la supervivencia cooperativa.
