common Indian apple snail

<em>Pila globosa</em>, commonly known as the common Indian apple snail, is a freshwater gastropod mollusk in the family Ampullariidae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is noted to occupy both terrestrial and aquatic habitats, reflecting the amphibious life history typical of apple snails, which can survive periods of drought by aestivating in moist soil. Apple snails in this family are generally found in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems, including ponds, rice paddies, rivers, and marshes. Specific country-level distribution data are not detailed in current records. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. 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。
