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.

Epaulard

돌고래과에서 가장 큰 구성원인 범고래(Orcinus orca)는 최대 9미터, 6톤에 달하며 북극에서 남극까지 모든 바다에서 발견됩니다. 독특한 방언, 사냥 전략, 집단 간에 다른 문화적 전통을 지닌 모계 무리에서 생활하는 최상위 포식자입니다. 일부 집단은 물고기를, 다른 집단은 해양 포유류를 전문으로 사냥합니다. 천적이 없으며, 범고래는 서식하는 모든 해양 먹이 사슬의 정점에 위치합니다.
