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。

ワシミミズク

世界最大のフクロウ種であるワシミミズク（Bubo bubo）は翼開長最大1.9メートルに達し、ヨーロッパからアジアを経て中国にかけての岩石地帯、林縁、断崖に生息します。強力な爪を持つ静かな夜行性ハンターで、ウサギ、野ウサギ、キツネ、さらには他の猛禽類も獲物にします。深みのある響き渡る鳴き声は遠くまで届きます。歴史的に迫害されてきましたが、個体群は比較的安定しています。
