Combtooth lantern shark

<em>Etmopterus decacuspidatus</em>, the combtooth lantern shark, is a small deep-sea shark in the family Etmopteridae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the lanternshark genus <em>Etmopterus</em>, the species likely possesses bioluminescent photophores along its ventral surface, a characteristic feature of the group used for counter-illumination and possibly intraspecific communication in the deep ocean. The combtooth designation references the multi-cusped tooth structure of the species. Lantern sharks are among the most species-rich shark genera and are distributed across deep oceanic environments worldwide. Specific habitat description and geographic range data are not available for this species in the current record. As with many deep-sea chondrichthyans, comprehensive ecological and biological information is limited. No quantitative biological trait data including body length or weight are recorded for this species.

イヌワシ

世界で最も強力で広く分布する猛禽類の一つであるイヌワシは、翼開長が2.2mに達し、北半球全域の山岳地帯に生息する。卓越した空中ハンターで、滑空飛行と時速200km以上の急降下を利用してウサギ、ノウサギ、ジリス、時には子鹿やキツネを捕食する。多くの文化において数千年にわたる鷹狩り伝統の中心的存在であった。
