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。

Enchylium bachmanianumは、湿潤な生息地の湿った岩石表面、土壌、苔の上に小さなゼリー状の葉状体を形成するゼラチン質の暗色シアノ地衣類です。葉状体内にシアノバクテリアの光合成共生体を含み、窒素固定が可能です。準絶滅危惧(NT)に指定されており、この目立たない地衣類はヨーロッパの分布域において、生息地の乾燥化、攪乱、安定した湿潤な微小生息地の喪失に敏感です。
