Common bamboo

作为全球种植最广泛的竹种之一，普通竹在最佳条件下以每天最高91厘米的惊人速度生长，分布于亚洲、非洲和美洲的热带和亚热带地区。从技术上讲是一种巨型草而非树木，其竿可达20米，为建筑、造纸、纺织和食品提供快速可再生的木材替代品。它是野生动物（包括依赖竹林的大熊猫）的重要栖息地组成部分。

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。
