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。

wild boar

家豚の祖先であるイノシシは最大200kgに達する頑強な雑食性の有蹄類で、西ヨーロッパからアジア、北アフリカまで森林、湿地、草原などさまざまな生息地に分布します。高い適応性と旺盛な繁殖力により、北アメリカやオーストラリアなど多くの地域で侵略的外来種となっています。土を掘り返す習性により土壌と植生を攪乱し、森林構造と種子の発芽に大きな影響を与えます。
