blue whale

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。

house mouse

地球上で最も広く分布し個体数が多い哺乳類の一つであるハツカネズミは南アジアを起源とし、南極大陸を除くすべての大陸に人類文明とともに広まった。体重わずか15〜25gで、最小限の食物と水で生存できる高度に適応した雑食性動物である。世界で最も一般的に使用される実験動物として、生物医学研究のほぼすべての分野に貢献してきた。世界的に農業に多大な被害を与える。
