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。

キアオジ

キアオジ（Emberiza citrinella）はIUCNレッドリストで準絶滅危惧（NT）に分類されています。ヨーロッパと西アジアの開けた耕作地、生け垣、林縁に生息する小型のホオジロ類で、雄の鮮やかな黄色の頭部と胸が特徴です。農業の集約化による食物減少と生息地変化により、ヨーロッパ各地で急激に減少しています。
