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。

giraffe

长颈鹿（Giraffa camelopardalis）是地球上最高的动物，身高可达5.5米，体重最重可达1,750千克。其细长的颈部——与所有哺乳动物一样包含七块颈椎——是为了在非洲稀树草原和林地取食金合欢树而进化的。长颈鹿是社会性动物，生活在无固定纽带的松散兽群中，通过次声波和肢体语言进行交流。由于栖息地丧失和偷猎，种群持续减少，被列为易危。
