クビナガイカ

<em>Brachioteuthis riisei</em>, commonly known as the Common Arm Squid, is a cephalopod mollusk in the family Brachioteuthidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List, reflecting significant gaps in knowledge about its population size, ecology, and distribution. Records of this species have been reported from waters off Chile and Norway, suggesting a broad oceanic distribution. Common Arm Squids are typically mesopelagic or bathypelagic organisms, inhabiting the open ocean at considerable depths during the day and often migrating toward shallower waters at night to feed. Like other oceanic squids, they are likely important components of marine food webs, serving as both predators of small fish and invertebrates and as prey for larger marine predators such as cetaceans and seabirds. The Data Deficient listing underscores the need for additional research into the biology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements of this understudied species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Polar bear

地球上で最大の陸上肉食動物であるホッキョクグマは700kgを超えることがあり、カナダからロシアまでの北極海氷域全体に分布する。ワモンアザラシとヒゲアザラシを狩るために海氷に依存する高度に特化した海洋哺乳類である。広大な距離を泳ぐことができる優れた泳者でもある。脆弱種に指定されており、気候変動による急激な北極海氷の消失で個体群が深刻な圧力を受けている。
