brown-throated three-toed sloth

棕喉三趾树懒是世界上行动最缓慢的哺乳动物之一，倒挂于中南美洲热带雨林的林冠层，平均时速仅0.24公里。其低代谢率是对营养贫乏的叶片食性的关键适应。毛皮中生长的藻类提供伪装，并可能携带具有抗菌特性的共生真菌。蛾、甲虫和真菌在树懒毛皮中形成一个微型生态系统。

虎鯨

作为海豚科体型最大的成员，虎鲸（Orcinus orca）体长可达9米，体重6吨，分布于从北极到南极的所有海洋。以母系群体生活的顶级捕食者，不同种群具有独特的方言、狩猎策略和文化传统。一些种群专门捕食鱼类，另一些则捕食海洋哺乳动物。没有天敌，虎鲸位于其所栖居的每条海洋食物链的顶端。
