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。
コウテイペンギン
世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン(Aptenodytes forsteri)は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。
