brown-throated three-toed sloth

ノドブトウミオサミオは世界で最も動きの遅い哺乳類のひとつで、中南米の熱帯雨林の樹冠に逆さまにぶら下がり、平均時速0.24kmで移動します。低い代謝率は、栄養価の乏しい葉を主食とする適応です。毛皮に生育する藻類がカモフラージュとなり、抗菌性をもつ共生菌を宿すこともあります。蛾、甲虫、菌類がナマケモノの毛皮の中に小さな生態系を形成しています。

common bottlenose dolphin

最も研究され、最も知られているイルカ種であるバンドウイルカは、沿岸の浅瀬から外洋まで世界中の温暖な海域と温帯海域に生息します。体に対して大きな脳を持つ高度に知性的なこの種は、自己認識、複雑なコミュニケーション、社会的学習を示します。流動的な分裂融合社会で生活し、魚を追い込むために協力します。海洋生態系の健全性の重要な指標種です。
