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。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物，体重最大可达15千克，为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量，每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化，能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分，拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减，2022年被列为濒危物种。
