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。
gray wolf
最も広い分布域を持つ野生のイヌ科動物であるハイイロオオカミは、北アメリカからユーラシアにかけてのツンドラ、森林、草原などの多様な生息地に分布します。優位な繁殖ペアに率いられた家族単位の群れで生活する高度に社会的な動物です。キーストーン捕食者として獲物個体群を調整し、生態系の構造を根本的に形成することは、イエローストーンでの再導入により実証されています。かつて激しく迫害されましたが、多くの地域で個体群は回復しつつあります。
