common bottlenose dolphin

最も研究され、最も知られているイルカ種であるバンドウイルカは、沿岸の浅瀬から外洋まで世界中の温暖な海域と温帯海域に生息します。体に対して大きな脳を持つ高度に知性的なこの種は、自己認識、複雑なコミュニケーション、社会的学習を示します。流動的な分裂融合社会で生活し、魚を追い込むために協力します。海洋生態系の健全性の重要な指標種です。

Monarch

世界で最も驚くべき渡り昆虫の一つで、オオカバマダラ(Danaus plexippus)は北アメリカ北部の繁殖地とメキシコの山岳森林の越冬地との間を最大 4,800 km の多世代往復移動を行います。鮮やかなオレンジと黒の翅は幼虫時に食べたトウワタから得た毒性を捕食者に警告します。1990年代以降、繁殖地の消失、農薬、気候変動により越冬個体群が 80%以上減少し、絶滅危惧種に指定されています。
