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。

Monarch

作为世界上最令人叹为观止的迁徙昆虫之一，帝王蝶（Danaus plexippus）在北美北部繁殖地和墨西哥山地森林越冬地之间进行多代往返迁徙，距离长达 4,800 千米。鲜艳的橙黑翅膀警告捕食者：其毒性来自幼虫期取食的乳草。由于繁殖地丧失、农药和气候变化，越冬种群自 1990 年代以来已减少 80% 以上，被列为濒危物种。
