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。

koala

オーストラリア東部・南東部を代表する有袋類で、体重は最大15kgに達し、低カロリーのユーカリの葉食から得るエネルギーを節約するために1日最大22時間を睡眠に費やす。他の哺乳類の多くを死に至らしめる有毒なユーカリ成分を処理するために高度に特化しており、解毒に特別に適応した腸内微生物叢を持つ。クラミジア感染症、生息地の伐採、気候変動により個体数が激減し、2022年に絶滅危惧種に指定された。
