African elephant

地球上最大の陸上動物であるアフリカゾウは体重7,000 kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナ、森林、湿地に生息する。成熟した雌が群れを率いる高度に知的な社会構造を持ち、超低周波音やうなり声、接触によって意思疎通する。木を引き倒したり水飲み場を掘ったり種子を散布したりすることで生態系を形成するエンジニア種だが、象牙の密猟や生息地の喪失により個体数は減少しており、危急（VU）とされている。

チャエリツカツクリ

<em>Talegalla jobiensis</em>, the Collared Brushturkey, is a megapode in the family Megapodiidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is native to New Guinea, occurring in lowland and hill forests where it is typically found in dense rainforest habitats. Megapodes are notable for their unique thermoregulatory breeding strategy: instead of incubating eggs with body heat, they construct large mounds of organic material in which eggs are buried and incubated by the heat generated by decomposing vegetation. <em>Talegalla jobiensis</em> belongs to a group of brushturkeys restricted to the Australasian region. Diet information typically includes invertebrates, seeds, and fallen fruit foraged from the forest floor, as is common in megapodes, though specific diet data for this species are not enumerated in available records. Biological measurements including average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in available data. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its Least Concern status reflects stable populations within its New Guinea range.
