Gray Wagtail

노랑할미새(Motacilla cinerea)는 IUCN 적색목록에서 준위협종(NT)으로 분류됩니다. 위협종에 근접한 상태로, 보전 조치 없이는 취약종이 될 수 있는 개체군 수준을 보이고 있습니다.

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.
