ハクトウワシ

アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。

brown-throated three-toed sloth

ノドブトウミオサミオは世界で最も動きの遅い哺乳類のひとつで、中南米の熱帯雨林の樹冠に逆さまにぶら下がり、平均時速0.24kmで移動します。低い代謝率は、栄養価の乏しい葉を主食とする適応です。毛皮に生育する藻類がカモフラージュとなり、抗菌性をもつ共生菌を宿すこともあります。蛾、甲虫、菌類がナマケモノの毛皮の中に小さな生態系を形成しています。
