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。

Tragopogon crocifoliusはキク科（Asteraceae）の植物で、乾燥した開放的な生息地でイネ科様の葉を持つ細い茎の頂部にサフラン色〜紫色の花頭を形成する。地中海地域・岩の多い草地・南ヨーロッパと西アジアの撹乱地に分布する。脆弱（VU）に分類され、地中海分布域での生息地喪失・過放牧・土地転換によって脅かされている。
