Bornean orangutan

세계에서 가장 큰 수상 포유류인 보르네오오랑우탄(Pongo pygmaeus)은 최대 90kg의 무게로 보르네오 우림 캐노피에서 대부분의 삶을 보냅니다. 단독 생활하며 반유목민적으로, 나무에 야간 수면 둥지를 만들고 과일, 잎, 무척추동물을 찾아다닙니다. 팜오일 확장으로 인한 삼림 벌채와 불법 사냥으로 인해 지난 60년 동안 개체수가 50% 이상 감소한 심각한위기(CR) 종입니다.

Buckelwal

혹등고래는 대형 고래 중 가장 활발한 곡예를 선보이는 종으로, 번식기에 수컷이 부르는 복잡하고 신비로운 노래로 유명합니다. 일부는 몇 시간씩 지속되며 시간이 지남에 따라 진화합니다. 체장 16미터, 체중 30톤에 달하며 포유류 중 가장 긴 이주를 수행합니다. 모든 대양에서 발견되며 크릴과 작은 물고기를 협동 거품그물 먹이 방식으로 포식합니다. 과거 포경으로 크게 감소했던 개체군이 대부분 회복되었습니다.
