chimpanzee

約98.7%のDNAを共有する人類の最も近い現生親族で、中央および西アフリカの熱帯林とサバンナ林に生息する。道具を使用・製作し、文化的な伝統を示し、独特のパントフートを含む豊かな発声でコミュニケーションをとる非常に知能の高い社会的霊長類だ。森林破壊、野生動物肉の狩猟、人間からの感染症伝播により個体数が減少している絶滅危惧種だ。

Common Seal

最も広く分布する鰭脚類であるゴマフアザラシの近縁種・ゼニガタアザラシ（Phoca vitulina）は、北大西洋と北太平洋の温帯・亜北極沿岸に生息する。成体は最大130kgに達し、海での魚・イカ・甲殻類の捕食と海岸や岩場での休息にほぼ同じ時間を費やす。大きく表情豊かな目は低照度での水中視覚に適応している。シャチ・サメ・ホッキョクグマにとって重要な食料源である。
