Colorado Stonecrop

<em>Sedum spathulifolium</em>, the Colorado stonecrop or spoon-leaved stonecrop, is a succulent perennial plant in the family Crassulaceae with a native range in western North America and records in seven European countries as well as Colombia. This species has not been evaluated by the IUCN. Stonecrops in the genus <em>Sedum</em> are characteristically drought-tolerant, inhabiting rocky outcrops, cliff faces, talus slopes, and other well-drained terrestrial habitats where competition from larger plants is reduced. <em>Sedum spathulifolium</em> forms low-growing rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that are often coated in a powdery glaucous bloom, which helps reduce water loss in exposed environments. Yellow star-shaped flowers appear in spring and early summer, attracting a range of small pollinators. The species is widely cultivated as a rock garden ornamental owing to its compact habit and attractive foliage, which may explain its presence outside its native range. Like other Crassulaceae, <em>Sedum spathulifolium</em> employs Crassulacean acid metabolism to reduce water loss during photosynthesis. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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。
