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.

Reticulated Python

그물무늬비단뱀(Python reticulatus)은 세계에서 가장 긴 뱀이자 가장 무거운 뱀 중 하나다. 먹이를 죄어 죽이는 방식으로 포획한다.
