Epaulard

돌고래과에서 가장 큰 구성원인 범고래(Orcinus orca)는 최대 9미터, 6톤에 달하며 북극에서 남극까지 모든 바다에서 발견됩니다. 독특한 방언, 사냥 전략, 집단 간에 다른 문화적 전통을 지닌 모계 무리에서 생활하는 최상위 포식자입니다. 일부 집단은 물고기를, 다른 집단은 해양 포유류를 전문으로 사냥합니다. 천적이 없으며, 범고래는 서식하는 모든 해양 먹이 사슬의 정점에 위치합니다.

Peniophorella echinocystis는 극위급멸종(CR)으로 평가된 피질성 곰팡이로, 극히 희귀하고 분포 범위가 매우 제한적이다. 성숙한 노령림이나 고대림의 고사목에 얇은 배착성 피막을 형성한다. 이 종의 위급멸종 상태는 서 있거나 쓰러진 고목이 있는 노령림 보전의 긴박한 필요성을 강조한다.
