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。
wild boar
家豚の祖先であるイノシシは最大200kgに達する頑強な雑食性の有蹄類で、西ヨーロッパからアジア、北アフリカまで森林、湿地、草原などさまざまな生息地に分布します。高い適応性と旺盛な繁殖力により、北アメリカやオーストラリアなど多くの地域で侵略的外来種となっています。土を掘り返す習性により土壌と植生を攪乱し、森林構造と種子の発芽に大きな影響を与えます。
