Monarch

世界で最も驚くべき渡り昆虫の一つで、オオカバマダラ（Danaus plexippus）は北アメリカ北部の繁殖地とメキシコの山岳森林の越冬地との間を最大 4,800 km の多世代往復移動を行います。鮮やかなオレンジと黒の翅は幼虫時に食べたトウワタから得た毒性を捕食者に警告します。1990年代以降、繁殖地の消失、農薬、気候変動により越冬個体群が 80%以上減少し、絶滅危惧種に指定されています。

Polar bear

地球上で最大の陸上肉食動物であるホッキョクグマは700kgを超えることがあり、カナダからロシアまでの北極海氷域全体に分布する。ワモンアザラシとヒゲアザラシを狩るために海氷に依存する高度に特化した海洋哺乳類である。広大な距離を泳ぐことができる優れた泳者でもある。脆弱種に指定されており、気候変動による急激な北極海氷の消失で個体群が深刻な圧力を受けている。
