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。

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン（Giraffa camelopardalis）は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
