Hohojirozame

地球上で最大の捕食性魚類であるホホジロザメは、全世界の主要な大洋の冷涼な沿岸・外洋域に生息し、体長6メートル、体重2,000キログラムに達することがあります。海洋哺乳類、大型魚類、海鳥を主な獲物として下方からの待ち伏せ攻撃を行う最上位捕食者です。その恐ろしい評判にもかかわらず、人間への非挑発的な攻撃は極めてまれです。フカヒレ採取、混獲、目的的漁獲によって個体数が減少しており、多くの地域で法的保護を受けているにもかかわらず危急（VU）に分類されています。

clouded-bordered brindle

The clouded bordered brindle (Apamea crenata) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and across northern Asia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 38–45 mm, with intricately patterned grey-brown and buff forewings bearing subtle cross-lines, a scalloped (crenate) outer margin giving the species its name, and distinctive reniform and orbicular markings characteristic of the Apamea genus. Adults fly in one generation from May to July, visiting flowers for nectar at night. The larvae feed internally within the stems and roots of grasses, particularly Brachypodium and other coarse grass species in woodland rides, woodland margins, and rough grassland habitats. Overwintering occurs as a larva within plant stems. Like many grass-feeding noctuids, the clouded bordered brindle requires structural diversity in its grassland and woodland edge habitats, with areas of tall, tussocky grasses providing both larval foodplants and adult shelter. Population trends in parts of its European range reflect changes in land management affecting coarse grassland and woodland ride quality.
