Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ（Ailuropoda melanoleuca）は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指（橈側種子骨）を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急（VU）へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

Eggerelloides mediusは堆積物粒子から多室の凝集した殻を構築する単細胞海洋生物である底生有孔虫です。浅海から中程度の水深の沿岸環境の細粒海洋堆積物に生息します。他の有孔虫と同様に腐植物や細菌を食べ、有機物の再鉱物化を含む底生生地球化学サイクルに役割を果たします。
