common marmoset

<em>Callithrix jacchus</em>, the common marmoset, is a small New World primate in the family Callitrichidae, endemic to northeastern Brazil. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This species typically inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, forest edges, and scrubby vegetation known as caatinga and cerrado, demonstrating considerable adaptability to degraded and fragmented habitats. Common marmosets are social animals that live in cooperative family groups, with all members typically assisting in the care of offspring. They are typically omnivorous, feeding on tree gums, sap, insects, small vertebrates, and fruit. Their specialized lower incisors allow them to gouge bark and extract plant exudates, a dietary specialization that sets marmosets apart from many other primates. The species has been widely used in biomedical research. Common marmosets have also been introduced outside their native range in Brazil, where they can impact native biodiversity through competition and predation on endemic wildlife.

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。
