Cluster Bat
Myotis sodalis, the Indiana bat or cluster bat, is a medium-sized insectivorous bat in the family Vespertilionidae endemic to the eastern United States. It is one of the most endangered bats in North America, listed as Endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The species is named for its behavior of clustering in extremely dense hibernation groups—sometimes thousands of bats per square meter—in specific limestone caves and mines during winter. These few critical hibernacula make the species extremely vulnerable to disturbance and disease. Since 2007, Indiana bats have suffered severe mortality from white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans that disrupts hibernation and causes mass starvation. During summer, Indiana bats roost under loose bark of dead trees and forage for insects over forested landscapes and riparian areas. Foraging individuals consume moths, beetles, and flying insects. Conservation efforts include cave gate protection, white-nose syndrome research, and summer habitat management on public and private lands across the eastern US.
アオサギ
最大1メートルの高さに達する大型の優美な渉禽類であるアオサギは、ヨーロッパ、アジア、アフリカ全域の湿地、川、湖、沿岸地域に生息します。忍耐強い単独の狩猟者で、長時間静止した後、稲妻のような素早いダガーのような嘴の一撃で魚、カエル、小型哺乳類を捕らえます。サギのコロニーと呼ばれる集団繁殖地で高い木に群れを作って繁殖し、時に他のコロニー性水鳥と共生します。世界的に広く分布しており、軽度懸念種です。
