Cladonia bellidiflora は北極高山地帯のコップ状地衣類で、酸性土壌や岩石上の基部鱗状層から赤い先端の子器柄が伸びます。北半球の北極および高山帯に分布しますが、南端の分布域では稀少です。気候温暖化、生息地の消失、限られた分布により、一部地域では絶滅危惧IA類（CR）に指定されています。

Epaulard

イルカ科で最大の種であるシャチ（Orcinus orca）は体長最大9メートル、体重6トンに達し、北極から南極まですべての海洋に生息しています。独特の方言、狩猟戦略、集団間で異なる文化的伝統を持つ母系ポッドで生活する頂点捕食者です。一部の集団は魚類を、他の集団は海洋哺乳類を専門に捕食します。天敵はなく、シャチは生息するすべての海洋食物連鎖の頂点に位置します。
