백상아리

지구상에서 가장 큰 포식성 어류인 백상아리는 전 세계 주요 대양의 시원한 연안 및 원해에 서식하며, 체장 6미터, 체중 2,000킬로그램까지 성장할 수 있습니다. 해양 포유류, 대형 어류, 바닷새를 주요 먹이로 하여 아래에서 기습 공격하는 최상위 포식자입니다. 무서운 명성에도 불구하고 인간에 대한 비도발적 공격은 극히 드뭅니다. 지느러미 채취, 혼획, 목적성 포획으로 개체수가 감소하고 있어 IUCN에서 취약(VU)으로 분류되며, 많은 지역에서 법적 보호를 받고 있습니다.

Comb-toed Jerboa

<em>Paradipus ctenodactylus</em>, the comb-toed jerboa, is a small nocturnal rodent in the family Dipodidae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is adapted to arid desert and semi-desert environments and is the sole member of the genus <em>Paradipus</em>. The species is named for the distinctive comb-like fringe of stiff hairs on the toes of the hind feet, which provides traction on loose sand surfaces. Like other jerboas, it is highly specialized for bipedal locomotion, possessing greatly elongated hind limbs relative to its body size, a long tail used for balance, and large ears. <em>P. ctenodactylus</em> is primarily granivorous and insectivorous, foraging for seeds, plant material, and invertebrates in its desert habitat. It digs burrows for shelter and protection from temperature extremes. Geographic range details are not recorded in the current record.
