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。

コブハクチョウ

世界で最もよく見られる白鳥であり最大の飛行鳥の一つで、コブハクチョウ（Cygnus olor）は最大 15 kg に達し、ヨーロッパとアジア全域の湖、川、沿岸湾に生息し、北アメリカとオーストラリアにも広く移入個体群があります。名前に反して、コブハクチョウはシューという音、うなり声、翅の風切り音など様々な音を出します。雄は縄張りを激しく防衛し、強力な翅の一撃で人間を傷つけたり犬を溺死させたりする能力があります。
