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.

Pool Frog

Pool Frog(Pelophylax lessonae)는 IUCN 적색 목록에서 위급(CR)으로 분류된다. 심각한 개체군 감소와 서식지 손실로 인해 야생에서 극도로 높은 절멸 위험에 처해 있다.
