ワシミミズク

世界最大のフクロウ種であるワシミミズク（Bubo bubo）は翼開長最大1.9メートルに達し、ヨーロッパからアジアを経て中国にかけての岩石地帯、林縁、断崖に生息します。強力な爪を持つ静かな夜行性ハンターで、ウサギ、野ウサギ、キツネ、さらには他の猛禽類も獲物にします。深みのある響き渡る鳴き声は遠くまで届きます。歴史的に迫害されてきましたが、個体群は比較的安定しています。

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン（Giraffa camelopardalis）は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
