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。
gorilla
世界最大の霊長類であるニシゴリラは体重が最大180kgに達し、赤道アフリカの熱帯・亜熱帯の森林に生息する。主に草食性で、群れを守り社会的な対立を仲裁するシルバーバック雄が率いる家族集団を形成する。森林破壊、食肉目的の密猟、エボラウイルス感染症の流行により脅威にさらされており、近絶滅種(CR)に指定されている。
