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。
Comb windmill grass
<em>Chloris pectinata</em>, the comb windmill grass, is a grass in the family Poaceae with a distribution across Asia, Europe, and North America. It grows in disturbed and open habitats including roadsides, waste ground, dry grasslands, and agricultural margins, reflecting adaptability to degraded and human-modified environments. The genus <em>Chloris</em> is recognized by its distinctive windmill-like arrangement of spreading finger-like branches bearing one-sided rows of spikelets, which give the species an ornamental quality. The species epithet pectinata refers to the comb-like appearance of the inflorescence. <em>C. pectinata</em> is an annual or short-lived perennial grass that reproduces primarily by seed. It is adapted to dry, warm climates and tolerates poor soils. In some regions, it is considered a ruderal weed, while in others it may serve as a minor forage grass. Specific biological metric data are not available in the current record.
