house mouse

지구상에서 가장 널리 분포하고 개체수가 많은 포유류 중 하나인 집쥐는 남아시아에서 기원하여 남극을 제외한 모든 대륙에 인류 문명과 함께 퍼져나갔다. 체중 15~25g의 고도로 적응력 있는 잡식성 동물로 최소한의 먹이와 물로 생존할 수 있다. 세계에서 가장 흔히 사용되는 실험 동물로서 사실상 모든 생의학 연구 분야에 기여해 왔다. 전 세계적으로 농업에 상당한 피해를 입힌다.

Tiger

지구상 가장 큰 야생 고양잇과 동물로, 무게가 300kg을 초과할 수 있으며 러시아 극동에서 동남아시아에 걸친 산림에 서식한다. 얼룩진 빛 속에서 위장 효과를 주는 독특한 주황색과 검정 줄무늬 털을 가진 단독 매복 포식자다. 밀렵과 삼림 파괴로 야생 개체수가 4,000마리 미만으로 감소한 심각한 위기(CR) 종이다.
