Epaulard
イルカ科で最大の種であるシャチ(Orcinus orca)は体長最大9メートル、体重6トンに達し、北極から南極まですべての海洋に生息しています。独特の方言、狩猟戦略、集団間で異なる文化的伝統を持つ母系ポッドで生活する頂点捕食者です。一部の集団は魚類を、他の集団は海洋哺乳類を専門に捕食します。天敵はなく、シャチは生息するすべての海洋食物連鎖の頂点に位置します。
Fly Agaric
ベニテングタケ(Amanita muscaria)は地球上で最も象徴的で広く知られる菌類であり、北半球の北方林全域に白いいぼのある鮮やかな赤い傘を広げる。童話のような外見とは裏腹に、ムシモールやイボテン酸などの強力な向精神性化合物を含み、中程度の毒性がある。シラカバ、マツ、トウヒと重要な外生菌根共生関係を形成し、無機栄養素と炭素を交換することで北方林の栄養循環に不可欠な役割を担っている。
