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。

Leopard

ヒョウはアフリカ、中東、南アジアにかけて熱帯雨林から砂漠まで多様な生息地に分布する、ネコ科動物の中で最も広い地理的分布域を持つ種です。単独生活で主に夜行性であり、먹이を木の上にキャッシュする優れた登攀能力を持ちます。黒変個体であるクロヒョウは、密林個体群でよく見られます。世界的に危急種に分類されています。
