大翅鯨

座头鲸是大型鲸类中最具杂技表演性的物种之一，以繁殖季节雄性演唱的复杂而神秘的歌声著称，歌声有时持续数小时并随时间演变。体长可达16米，体重30吨，进行着哺乳动物中最长距离的洄游。分布于所有大洋，通过协作泡泡网捕食磷虾和小鱼。种群数量已从历史捕鲸后大体恢复。

Common Hippopotamus, Hippopotamus, Large Hippo

非洲最危险的大型哺乳动物，河马（Hippopotamus amphibius）体重可达3200千克，栖居于撒哈拉以南非洲的河流、湖泊和湿地。半水生生活方式使其每天最多在水中浸泡16小时以降温，夜间则在陆地上觅食草料。尽管外表看似温顺，河马极具攻击性且领地意识强烈，每年造成数百人伤亡。由于栖息地丧失和象牙非法猎杀，该物种被列为易危。
