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。

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。
