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。
コモロルリバト
<em>Alectroenas sganzini</em>, the Comoro blue pigeon, is a medium-sized frugivorous pigeon in the family Columbidae, endemic to the Comoro Islands archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, with occasional records from Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles. The species inhabits dense evergreen humid forest, forest edges, and heavily wooded areas, typically from sea level to higher elevations on the main islands. Like other members of the genus <em>Alectroenas</em>, it displays striking plumage featuring a bright blue-grey body, a bare red facial patch around the eye, and a short rounded tail. Biological traits such as precise average lifespan, body length, and weight remain poorly documented in consolidated scientific literature, though it is a medium-sized pigeon typical of its genus. The Comoro blue pigeon feeds primarily on fruits, figs, and other forest products, contributing to seed dispersal in native forests. Threats include ongoing habitat loss through forest clearance for agriculture and charcoal production, along with hunting pressure. <em>Alectroenas sganzini</em> is assessed as Near Threatened by the IUCN, reflecting population declines driven by deforestation and exploitation across its restricted island range in the Comoros.
