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。

ヒバリ

ヒバリ(Alauda arvensis)は、飛翔中に歌う複雑で美しい声でヨーロッパの文学と詩に称えられてきました。ヨーロッパとアジア全域の開けた農地、草地、荒野の上空を数百メートルも垂直に舞い上がりながら、最長1時間にわたって途切れなく歌い続けます。雄は700種類以上の独特なさえずりを発することができます。かつてヨーロッパの農地で非常に多かったヒバリの個体数は、農業の集約化により1970年代から70%以上減少しています。
