Anchovy-Eater

大白鲨是地球上最大的掠食性鱼类，栖息于全球主要大洋的凉爽近岸和近海水域，体长可达6米，体重可达2,000千克。它是顶级捕食者，以海洋哺乳动物、大型鱼类和海鸟为主要猎物，从下方发动伏击。尽管声名狼藉，对人类的非激怒性攻击极为罕见。由于鱼翅贸易、兼捕和针对性捕捞，种群数量下降，尽管在许多地区受到法律保护，仍被列为易危（VU）。

gorilla

西部大猩猩是世界上最大的灵长类动物，体重可达180千克，栖息于赤道非洲的热带和亚热带森林。主要为草食性，以保护族群并调解社会冲突的银背雄性为首形成家族群体。由于森林砍伐、丛林肉偷猎和埃博拉病毒疾病暴发，被列为极度濒危（CR）。
