Canadian beaver

北米最大の齧歯類であるカナダビーバーは体重32kgにも達し、カナダ・米国北部の河川、湖沼、湿地に生息する優れた生態系エンジニアです。木を倒して数百メートルに及ぶダムを造ることで池を形成し、数百種の生息環境を提供します。その巣穴や運河は流域全体を変化させます。かつては毛皮のために絶滅寸前まで狩られましたが、個体数は大きく回復しています。

gorilla

世界最大の霊長類であるニシゴリラは体重が最大180kgに達し、赤道アフリカの熱帯・亜熱帯の森林に生息する。主に草食性で、群れを守り社会的な対立を仲裁するシルバーバック雄が率いる家族集団を形成する。森林破壊、食肉目的の密猟、エボラウイルス感染症の流行により脅威にさらされており、近絶滅種（CR）に指定されている。
