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。

Rice

水稻(Oryza sativa)是人类历史上最重要的粮食作物,养活了全球超过一半的人口,是亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的主食谷物。约9,000年前在中国长江流域从野生稻(Oryza rufipogon)驯化而来,水稻种植塑造了文明、景观和生态系统。淹水稻田耕作为候鸟、两栖动物和水生无脊椎动物创造了广泛的湿地生境,同时也产生大量甲烷排放。
