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。
Marsh frog
ヌマガエル(Pelophylax ridibundus)はIUCNレッドリストで軽度懸念種(LC)に分類される。分布域全体にわたって広く生息し個体群は安定しており、差し迫った保全上の懸念はない。
