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。

Xylaria corniformisは熱帯および亜熱帯林生息地の腐朽木材に硬く角状またはシカの角状の黒い子座を形成する棍棒形の炭質子嚢菌類です。森林生態系において木質セルロースの分解に貢献する腐生性木材分解菌です。絶滅危惧（EN）に分類されており、熱帯の森林破壊と原生林生息地の消失が脅威となっています。
