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。
Polar bear
地球上で最大の陸上肉食動物であるホッキョクグマは700kgを超えることがあり、カナダからロシアまでの北極海氷域全体に分布する。ワモンアザラシとヒゲアザラシを狩るために海氷に依存する高度に特化した海洋哺乳類である。広大な距離を泳ぐことができる優れた泳者でもある。脆弱種に指定されており、気候変動による急激な北極海氷の消失で個体群が深刻な圧力を受けている。
