Buckelwal

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。

Cladonia bellidiflora は北極高山地帯のコップ状地衣類で、酸性土壌や岩石上の基部鱗状層から赤い先端の子器柄が伸びます。北半球の北極および高山帯に分布しますが、南端の分布域では稀少です。気候温暖化、生息地の消失、限られた分布により、一部地域では絶滅危惧IA類(CR)に指定されています。
