Jinbeizame

ジンベエザメ（Rhincodon typus）は世界最大の魚類で、体長12メートル、体重20トンを超えることがあり、世界の熱帯・温暖な温帯海洋に生息します。その巨大な体にもかかわらず、プランクトン、魚卵、小魚を口を大きく開けて泳ぎながら濾過摂食する無害な種です。プランクトンの大発生を追って大規模な季節的回遊を行います。乱獲、船の衝突、フカヒレ取引により、過去75年間で個体数が約50%減少し、絶滅危惧種に指定されています。

Buckelwal

大型クジラの中で最も曲芸的なクジラのひとつであるザトウクジラは、繁殖期にオスが歌う複雑で神秘的な歌で知られており、数時間にわたって続き時間をかけて変化していきます。体長16m、体重30トンに達し、哺乳類の中で最長の回遊を行います。全海洋に分布し、協調的なバブルネット採餌でオキアミや小魚を捕食します。歴史的な捕鯨後の個体数はおおむね回復しています。
