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。

Ochrolechia subviridisは、海洋性および山岳性生息地の珪酸岩と樹皮に厚みのある緑灰色から白色の斑点を形成する殻状地衣類である。淡く粉霜状の表面を持つ円盤状の子実体を生産し、ウスニン酸化合物を含有する。脆弱な状況は、限られた分布域における生息地変化と大気汚染への感受性を反映している。
