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。
云雀
云雀(Alauda arvensis)以飞行中歌唱的复杂悦耳鸣声在欧洲文学和诗歌中广受赞誉。它们在欧洲和亚洲的开阔农田、草地和荒野上空垂直飞翔数百米,同时发出长达一小时的连续鸣唱。雄鸟可发出700多种独特的鸣唱短句。曾经在欧洲农田中极为丰富的云雀,由于农业集约化,自1970年以来种群数量已下降70%以上。
