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。

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。
