仓鸮

仓鸮（Tyto alba）是地球上分布最广泛的猫头鹰种类，除南极洲外遍布各大洲，栖息于从热带雨林到温带农田的几乎所有生境类型。其心形脸盘可将声音汇集至非对称排列的耳部，使其能在完全黑暗中仅凭声音定位猎物。它们将猎物整个吞下，再将不可消化的骨骼和毛发压缩成食丸吐出，是农业中珍贵的鼠类防治帮手。

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。
