世界最大の霊長類であるニシゴリラは体重が最大180kgに達し、赤道アフリカの熱帯・亜熱帯の森林に生息する。主に草食性で、群れを守り社会的な対立を仲裁するシルバーバック雄が率いる家族集団を形成する。森林破壊、食肉目的の密猟、エボラウイルス感染症の流行により脅威にさらされており、近絶滅種（CR）に指定されている。

house mouse

地球上で最も広く分布し個体数が多い哺乳類の一つであるハツカネズミは南アジアを起源とし、南極大陸を除くすべての大陸に人類文明とともに広まった。体重わずか15〜25gで、最小限の食物と水で生存できる高度に適応した雑食性動物である。世界で最も一般的に使用される実験動物として、生物医学研究のほぼすべての分野に貢献してきた。世界的に農業に多大な被害を与える。
