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。
Polar bear
地球上で最大の陸上肉食動物であるホッキョクグマは700kgを超えることがあり、カナダからロシアまでの北極海氷域全体に分布する。ワモンアザラシとヒゲアザラシを狩るために海氷に依存する高度に特化した海洋哺乳類である。広大な距離を泳ぐことができる優れた泳者でもある。脆弱種に指定されており、気候変動による急激な北極海氷の消失で個体群が深刻な圧力を受けている。
