ミンククジラ
コイワシクジラ(Balaenoptera acutorostrata)は世界中の冷温帯〜熱帯海域に広く分布する小型のミンク鯨類で、体長8〜10メートルほどに成長する。IUCNレッドリストでは軽度懸念(LC)に分類されており、ヒゲ鯨類の中では比較的個体数が多く、沿岸域〜外洋まで幅広く生息する。好奇心旺盛で船舶に近づく行動が観察されることが多く、北西太平洋のいくつかの個体群では捕鯨の継続的な対象となっている。
Collared Sprite
The Collared Sprite, known scientifically as <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em>, is a bat belonging to the order Chiroptera. <em>Thainycteris aureocollaris</em> is distinguished by a golden or pale collar of fur around the neck region, which gives rise to the species epithet "aureocollaris" — meaning golden-collared in Latin. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bats of this type are generally nocturnal, roosting during the day and emerging at night to forage on flying insects using echolocation. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Sprite is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is not currently considered to be at significant risk of decline.
