Mongo-ika
<em>Sepia officinalis</em>, the common cuttlefish, is a cephalopod mollusk belonging to the family Sepiidae. This remarkable marine invertebrate is found across the coastal waters of Europe, including Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, where it typically inhabits shallow sandy or muddy sea floors as well as seagrass beds and rocky reefs. The common cuttlefish is celebrated for its exceptional ability to rapidly change skin color and texture, a trait used both for camouflage and communication. It possesses a unique internal shell called the cuttlebone, which functions as a buoyancy organ. <em>Sepia officinalis</em> is a carnivore, often preying upon small crustaceans, fish, and other invertebrates using its two elongated tentacles alongside eight shorter arms. The species typically employs jet propulsion for locomotion and can release ink to evade predators. Lifespan in the wild generally ranges from one to two years, with reproduction occurring in spring and summer in nearshore waters. The common cuttlefish plays an important ecological role as both predator and prey in coastal marine ecosystems.
koala
オーストラリア東部・南東部を代表する有袋類で、体重は最大15kgに達し、低カロリーのユーカリの葉食から得るエネルギーを節約するために1日最大22時間を睡眠に費やす。他の哺乳類の多くを死に至らしめる有毒なユーカリ成分を処理するために高度に特化しており、解毒に特別に適応した腸内微生物叢を持つ。クラミジア感染症、生息地の伐採、気候変動により個体数が激減し、2022年に絶滅危惧種に指定された。
