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。
Monarch
世界で最も驚くべき渡り昆虫の一つで、オオカバマダラ(Danaus plexippus)は北アメリカ北部の繁殖地とメキシコの山岳森林の越冬地との間を最大 4,800 km の多世代往復移動を行います。鮮やかなオレンジと黒の翅は幼虫時に食べたトウワタから得た毒性を捕食者に警告します。1990年代以降、繁殖地の消失、農薬、気候変動により越冬個体群が 80%以上減少し、絶滅危惧種に指定されています。
