Corn Crake
쥐잡이새(Crex crex)는 IUCN 적색 목록에서 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 분류된다. 심각한 개체수 감소와 서식지 소실로 인해 야생 절멸의 위험이 극도로 높다.
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.
