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。

コブハクチョウ

世界で最もよく見られる白鳥であり最大の飛行鳥の一つで、コブハクチョウ（Cygnus olor）は最大 15 kg に達し、ヨーロッパとアジア全域の湖、川、沿岸湾に生息し、北アメリカとオーストラリアにも広く移入個体群があります。名前に反して、コブハクチョウはシューという音、うなり声、翅の風切り音など様々な音を出します。雄は縄張りを激しく防衛し、強力な翅の一撃で人間を傷つけたり犬を溺死させたりする能力があります。
