Duck Hawk

지구상에서 가장 빠른 동물인 송골매(Falco peregrinus)는 먹이를 향해 급강하할 때 시속 320km를 초과하는 속도로 비행하여 공중에서 발로 새를 기절시키거나 죽입니다. 남극을 제외한 모든 대륙의 북극 툰드라부터 열대 우림까지 다양한 서식지에서 발견됩니다. 1960~70년대 DDT 중독으로 북아메리카와 유럽에서 거의 멸종 위기에 처했으나, 농약 사용 금지와 성공적인 도시 번식 프로그램 덕분에 극적으로 회복했습니다.

Green Sea Turtle

초록바다거북은 가장 큰 바다거북 중 하나입니다. 등딱지가 아닌 연골과 지방의 녹색에서 이름이 유래했습니다.
