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。
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.
