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。
Large Cabbage White
モンシロチョウ類(Pieris brassicae)はIUCNレッドリストで軽度懸念(LC)に分類されている。生息域全体にわたり広く分布し個体数が安定しており、直ちに懸念される保全上の問題はない。
