藍鯨

蓝鲸是地球上已知存在过的最大动物，体长可达33米，体重达200吨，其心脏单独就重达一辆小型轿车的重量。分布于各大洋，在极地觅食地和热带繁殖地之间进行迁徙。它们是滤食性动物，每日可消耗多达4吨磷虾。蓝鲸被列为濒危物种，20世纪捕鲸活动使其濒临灭绝，目前全球种群估计约为1万至2.5万头。

林鸱

灰潜鸟（Nyctibius griseus）是栖居于从墨西哥到阿根廷的中美洲和南美洲热带森林的夜行性鸟类，白天静止不动地栖息在折断的树桩或树枝上，眼睛微张，保护色完美到几乎与树皮融为一体，捕食者难以发现。入夜后，它们从暴露的栖枝上张开巨大的嘴捕食大型昆虫。其哀婉、令人毛骨悚然的鸣叫声在热带雨林的夜晚回荡不绝。
