Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。

タコウチュウジクカイメン

<em>Axinella polypoides</em>, commonly known as the Common Antlers Sponge, is a marine sponge in the family Axinellidae. This species has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN and has been recorded in waters off Norway, among other European marine environments. The Common Antlers Sponge is an erect, branching sponge that typically forms irregularly branched, tree- or antler-like colonies in yellow to orange coloration, which are visually distinctive on the rocky substrates of the Mediterranean Sea and the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. It typically grows attached to hard substrates such as rocks and corals in subtidal zones, often in areas with moderate to strong water currents that deliver particulate food. As a filter feeder, it draws water through its porous body to extract organic particles and microorganisms. This sponge can reach substantial sizes and is often found in deeper, clear-water habitats. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
