About These Birds
Atlantic Puffin
「海のピエロ」とも呼ばれるニシツノメドリは、北海の崖に穴を掘って営巣する魅力的な海鳥。口蓋に後ろ向きの棘があるため、一度に12匹もの魚を横向きにくわえて運ぶことができる。気候変動と乱獲による餌不足が脅威となり、個体数が減少している。
Wilson's Bird-of-paradise
Wilson's bird-of-paradise is one of the most extraordinarily colored birds on Earth. Males meticulously clear a patch of forest floor as a display court, removing every leaf and twig. The species was virtually unknown to science until the late 20th century due to its restricted island range.
