Collared Imperial-Pigeon

The Collared Imperial Pigeon, known scientifically as <em>Ducula mullerii</em>, is a large fruit-eating pigeon belonging to the genus Ducula within the family Columbidae. This species is characterised by its distinctive plumage, which typically features a pale grey or whitish head and underparts contrasting with darker upperparts, giving rise to its common name. <em>Ducula mullerii</em> is associated with lowland and foothill forest habitats, where it typically forages in the forest canopy and subcanopy for fruits and figs. The species is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Like other imperial pigeons of the genus Ducula, it is generally found in tropical and subtropical forest environments. Detailed biological traits including lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Imperial Pigeon is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, indicating that the global population is not considered to be facing immediate threats of significant decline.

Emperor Penguin

세계에서 가장 큰 펭귄인 황제펭귄(Aptenodytes forsteri)은 키가 최대 1.2m에 몸무게가 45kg에 달하며, 지구상에서 가장 혹독한 환경인 남극 대륙에 서식합니다. 영하 60°C 이하의 한겨울 암흑 속에서 번식하며, 수컷이 암컷이 바다에 있는 동안 65일 동안 발 위에서 육아낭 아래에 알 한 개를 품습니다. 수천 마리가 모인 무리에서 개체들이 따뜻한 중심부를 순환하는 이른바 허들링 행동은 협동적 생존의 훌륭한 사례입니다.
