American Clawed Lobster

美洲龙虾（Homarus americanus）尚未被IUCN红色名录正式评估，是世界上最具商业价值的海洋甲壳类之一，广泛分布于北美大西洋沿岸的岩石底质海域。该物种以两只不对称的大螯肢为显著特征，一只用于夹碎，另一只用于切割食物。美洲龙虾寿命可超过50年，个体重量记录最高达20千克以上。

帝企鹅

帝企鹅是世界上体型最大的企鹅，身高可达1.2米，体重达45千克，栖息于南极大陆极端恶劣的环境中。它们在隆冬的黑暗中、零下60°C以下的严寒里繁殖，雄鸟将唯一的蛋置于脚背上，藏于育卵囊下孵化长达65天，而雌鸟则在此期间出海觅食。数千只帝企鹅组成的群体通过循环交换位置、使个体轮流经过温暖的核心区域这一抱团取暖行为，堪称合作生存的典范。
