フォークランドミソサザイ

Cobb's wren (Troglodytes cobbi) is a small, insectivorous passerine in the family Troglodytidae, endemic to the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) in the South Atlantic Ocean. It inhabits rocky coastal areas, kelp beds, tussac grass tussocks, and rocky shorelines, where it forages actively for invertebrates, amphipods, and small crustaceans among rocks and beach wrack. Cobb's wren is closely related to the house wren complex but represents a distinct island lineage adapted to maritime conditions. Its distribution is restricted to the outer islands of the Falklands, as introduced rats and cats have extirpated it from most inhabited islands and the two main islands where introduced predators are present. On rat-free outer islands, populations are locally common. The IUCN assesses Cobb's wren as Least Concern overall, acknowledging that total population size across the outer islands is considered adequate, though its restricted island endemic range and vulnerability to mammalian predator introduction demand ongoing management. Rat eradication programmes on Falkland Islands have been crucial in protecting this and other seabird-associated species.

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。
