Bornean orangutan

世界最大の樹上性哺乳類であるボルネオオランウータン（Pongo pygmaeus）は最大90kgの体重でボルネオ島の熱帯雨林の林冠で生涯のほとんどを過ごします。単独生活をする半遊牧的な動物で、木に夜間の睡眠巣を作り、果実、葉、無脊椎動物を採食します。パーム油拡大による森林伐採と密猟により、過去60年で個体数が50%以上減少した深刻な絶滅危惧（CR）種です。

Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。
