地球上で生きたことが知られている最大の動物であるシロナガスクジラ(Balaenoptera musculus)は、体長33メートル、体重200トンに達することができ、心臓だけで小型自動車ほどの重さがあります。全ての海洋に生息し、極地の餌場と熱帯の繁殖地の間を回遊します。1日最大4トンのオキアミを摂取する濾過摂食者です。20世紀の捕鯨による絶滅危機からの回復後、世界的な個体数は10,000〜25,000頭と推定される絶滅危惧種です。

カワリヒメシロハラミズナギドリ

The Collared Petrel, known scientifically as <em>Pterodroma brevipes</em>, is a seabird belonging to the family Procellariidae, the petrels and shearwaters. <em>Pterodroma brevipes</em> is a gadfly petrel characterised by its typically dark upperparts contrasting with paler underparts, and by a distinctive collar or partial collar pattern on the breast and neck. The species is highly pelagic, spending much of its life at sea and returning to land only to breed on remote oceanic islands. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Like other gadfly petrels, <em>Pterodroma brevipes</em> is a dynamic flier, capable of soaring at speed in strong winds. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Petrel is currently assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, reflecting population concerns likely associated with threats at breeding colonies including introduced predators and habitat degradation.
