ソロモンオウギビタキ

Cockerell's fantail (Rhipidura cockerelli) is a lively, medium-sized flycatcher in the family Rhipiduridae, endemic to the Solomon Islands archipelago in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Like other fantails, it is characterised by its habit of fanning and cocking its long tail while foraging aerially and among vegetation for small flying insects and other arthropods. The species occupies primary and mature secondary lowland and hill forest on several islands within the Solomon group, where it typically inhabits the middle and lower forest strata, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks. Males and females are similarly plumaged in shades of rufous, brown, and black, with the distinctive white brow stripe common to many Solomon Islands fantails. Rhipidura cockerelli is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, reflecting adequate forest cover across much of its range and the relative remoteness of many of the islands it inhabits. However, growing pressure from logging, agricultural conversion, and human settlement in the Solomon Islands poses potential longer-term risks to forest-dependent species like this fantail. The species has no presence in Norway; database listings to that effect represent a data artifact. Its distribution is confined entirely to the Solomon Islands chain. The species was named after the British entomologist and naturalist T.D.A. Cockerell, who contributed extensively to natural history collections from the Pacific during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

コウテイペンギン

世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン(Aptenodytes forsteri)は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。
