Dunlin

댕기물떼새류인 세가락도요(Calidris alpina)는 IUCN 적색목록에서 관심 대상(LC)으로 분류됩니다. 분포 범위 전반에 걸쳐 광범위하게 서식하며 개체군이 안정적이고 즉각적인 보전 우려가 없습니다.

gray wolf

가장 넓은 분포 범위를 가진 야생 갯과 동물인 회색늑대는 북아메리카에서 유라시아에 걸쳐 툰드라, 숲, 초원 등 다양한 서식지에 분포합니다. 우세한 번식 쌍이 이끄는 가족 단위 무리를 이루어 생활하는 고도로 사회적인 동물입니다. 최상위 포식자로서 먹이 개체군을 조절하고 생태계 구조를 근본적으로 형성하는데, 옐로스톤에서의 재도입 사례가 이를 잘 보여줍니다. 한때 심각하게 박해받았으나 많은 지역에서 개체군이 회복 중입니다.
