Cat

家猫是人类最成功的驯化伴侣动物之一，小型敏捷肉食动物，约10,000年前起源于近东野猫（Felis silvestris lybica）。目前有超过70个公认品种，家猫保留强烈的捕猎本能，几乎遍布地球所有陆地环境，全球估计饲养量约6亿只，是世界最受欢迎的宠物。

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。
