游隼
游隼是地球上速度最快的动物,俯冲捕食时的飞行速度可超过320公里/小时,能在飞行中用脚击晕或击毙猎物。它分布于除南极洲以外的每一块大陆,栖息环境多样,从北极冻原到热带雨林无不涵盖。20世纪60至70年代,北美和欧洲的游隼因DDT污染几近灭绝,但禁用农药和城市繁殖项目的推行使其种群得以显著恢复。
gray wolf
灰狼是分布最广的野生犬科动物,分布范围从北美横跨欧亚大陆,栖息于冻原、森林和草原等多种生境。高度社会化的动物,以由占优势的繁殖对领导的家族群体生活。作为关键捕食者,狼调节猎物种群并深刻影响生态系统结构,黄石公园的重引入项目对此有充分证明。曾遭到严重迫害,但目前许多地区的种群正在恢复。
