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。

house mouse

地球上で最も広く分布し個体数が多い哺乳類の一つであるハツカネズミは南アジアを起源とし、南極大陸を除くすべての大陸に人類文明とともに広まった。体重わずか15〜25gで、最小限の食物と水で生存できる高度に適応した雑食性動物である。世界で最も一般的に使用される実験動物として、生物医学研究のほぼすべての分野に貢献してきた。世界的に農業に多大な被害を与える。
