タガヤサンミナシ

The cloth of gold cone (Conus textile) is a large, highly venomous marine gastropod in the family Conidae found throughout the Indo-Pacific region, from the Red Sea and East Africa to Polynesia and northern Australia, in shallow coral reef environments, sandy flats, and rocky intertidal zones. The shell features a distinctive pattern of tent-like or overlapping golden and white markings on a pale background, resembling woven cloth — the source of its common name. Conus textile is among the most dangerous cone snails to humans, delivering a complex cocktail of conotoxin peptides via an extensible proboscis and harpoon-like radular tooth that can penetrate skin even through thick gloves. The venom paralyzes fish and mollusks, its primary prey. Human fatalities have been recorded from careless handling, earning this species a reputation as one of the most dangerous shells in the world. Conotoxins from C. textile and related species are of intense pharmaceutical research interest as highly specific ion channel blockers with potential applications in pain management and neurological drug development.

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。
