大型クジラの中で最も曲芸的なクジラのひとつであるザトウクジラは、繁殖期にオスが歌う複雑で神秘的な歌で知られており、数時間にわたって続き時間をかけて変化していきます。体長16m、体重30トンに達し、哺乳類の中で最長の回遊を行います。全海洋に分布し、協調的なバブルネット採餌でオキアミや小魚を捕食します。歴史的な捕鯨後の個体数はおおむね回復しています。
ハイイロイワタイランチョウ
The cinereous ground tyrant (Muscisaxicola cinereus) is a small flycatcher in the family Tyrannidae, found in the high Andes and Patagonian grasslands of South America, with a range spanning Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. It inhabits open, barren, or sparsely vegetated habitats such as high-altitude puna grassland, rocky Andean plateaus, rocky coastal grassland, and steppe vegetation, typically at elevations from 1,000 meters to above 4,500 meters. Like other ground tyrants, it forages on the ground for insects and small invertebrates, often running and pausing rather than perching. The plumage is uniform gray to brownish-gray with a slightly paler underside. The cinereous ground tyrant is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a wide South American range and stable populations. Ground tyrants of the genus Muscisaxicola represent a fascinating adaptive radiation into high-altitude open habitats across the Andes and southern South America. This species is entirely restricted to South America and is absent from Europe; any database record citing Norway is incorrect. Andean grassland habitats face increasing pressure from overgrazing, burning, and climate-driven changes in vegetation, but the cinereous ground tyrant's wide range and tolerance of degraded habitats suggest resilience.
