【極境漫遊66.5度】北極兔
北極兔
北極的冬天來臨,苔原覆上厚厚的冰雪,變成一片銀白色的世界。揉揉眼睛,白茫茫的雪地上,似乎有什麼東西在動?原來是一隻北極兔。牠已換上一身白毛,成為最好的保護色。北極兔有寬大如雪鞋的腳掌,跑動時不會陷入厚雪當中。牠有時會用後腳站立,伸直耳朵探聽附近有沒有掠食者出現。
Arctic Hare
With the approach of the Arctic winter, the tundra is covered with thick ice and snow, turning it into a silvery white world. Rub your eyes and look closely. Isn’t there something moving on the white snow? It turns out to be an Arctic hare! Its hair has changed into a coat of white fur, camouflaging it from predators. Arctic hares have wide paws like snowshoes, so they do not get caught in the thick snow when they move. Sometimes they stand on their hind legs and stretch their ears to listen for predators in the vicinity.

【極境漫遊66.5度】雪鴞
雪鴞
不過擁有敏銳聽覺的不只是北極兔,雪鴞利用銳利的視覺與聽覺來搜尋獵物。更致命的是,由於飛羽邊緣的鋸齒狀結構,雪鴞飛行時不會發出一點聲響,是真正的沈默殺手。
Snowy Owl
The Arctic hare is not the only animal with acute hearing. Snowy owls use their sharp vision and hearing to search for prey. What makes them even more deadly are the serrated leading edges of their feathers, which allow the owls to fly without a sound. They are true silent killers.

【極境漫遊66.5度】旅鼠
旅鼠
雪鴞最喜歡的獵物就是旅鼠了。旅鼠是北極苔原生態系最主要的獵物,旅鼠數量充足的年份,諸如雪鴞等掠食者會因為食物充足而生育眾多;旅鼠數量少的年份,掠食者的族群也會因食物不足而下降。
Lemming
The snowy owl's favorite prey is definitely the lemming. In years when there are sufficient numbers of lemmings, this abundant food source will allow predators such as snowy owls to raise many offspring. Conversely, in years when there are only a few lemmings, predator populations will decline due to a lack of food.

【極境漫遊66.5度】北極狐
北極狐
北極狐也以旅鼠為主要的食物,牠可以聽到或嗅到旅鼠在雪地下的活動,讓旅鼠無所遁逃。食物缺乏時,北極狐發揮機會主義者的本性,牠會跟隨北極熊,等待獵食完畢後剩下的食物殘渣。
Arctic Fox
The Arctic fox also feeds on lemmings, which it can hear or smell moving under the snow. The lemmings have no place to hide! When food is scarce, the arctic fox is an opportunist and will follow polar bears, waiting for the leftover food scraps after the bears have had their fill.

【極境漫遊66.5度】北極熊
北極熊
等待了好幾個月,北極海面終於又結成冰,北極熊總算可以踏上冰面展開重要的獵海豹旅程。因為地球暖化的影響,北極海結冰的時節越來越晚,北極熊能夠狩獵的時間也越來越短。北極熊是游泳高手,牠在浮冰間悄悄地移動埋伏,藉此出其不意地獵捕在冰上休息的海豹。
Polar Bear
After months of waiting, the Arctic Sea has frozen over again and polar bears can finally step onto the ice to start their important seal-hunting journey. Polar bears are expert swimmers and move quietly between ice floes to ambush seals resting on the ice. Because these waters have been freezing later and later every year due to global warming, the timeframe for polar bears to hunt has been getting shorter and shorter.

【極境漫遊66.5度】環斑海豹
環斑海豹
環斑海豹用強健的爪子在厚冰上挖出呼吸洞,當掠食者靠近時,牠可以快速經由呼吸洞躲進海裡。冬季已近尾聲,海豹媽媽用冰雪建造巢穴,並在裡面生下寶寶。當暖化造成冰雪減少,巢穴建造與維持不易,海豹寶寶更容易被北極熊發現並捕食。
Ringed Seal
Ringed seals use the claws on their foreflippers to dig breathing holes in the thick ice. When predators such as polar bears approach, the seals can quickly hide in the sea. As winter draws to a close, mother seals build ice-lined maternity lairs and give birth to their pups. With global warming causing ever less snowfall and thinner ice, it has become harder to build and maintain a lair, and baby seals are more likely to be found and preyed upon by polar bears.

【極境漫遊66.5度】大西洋海鸚鵡
大西洋海鸚鵡
夏季裡,大西洋海鸚鵡成群在海岸峭壁上築巢繁殖。牠們有一項絕技,就是會潛入水中追捕魚群,在嘴上啣著十幾條小魚,一口氣帶回巢餵養飢腸轆轆的雛鳥。
Atlantic Puffin
During the summer, Atlantic puffins flock to the coastal cliffs to build their nests and breed. One of their signature tricks is to dive into the water to hunt for fish and bring a dozen small fish to their nest to feed their hungry chicks.

北極燕鷗
北極燕鷗是候鳥遷徙的極致表現,每年遷徙的距離超過80000公里!北極燕鷗是追逐日光的鳥,夏季裡,牠們飛回北極附近的出生地,在海岸或苔原築巢養育寶寶;直到夏季末尾,北極燕鷗又會再度啟程,往地球另一端的南極飛去。
Arctic Tern
The Arctic tern is the ultimate example of a migratory bird, traveling over 80,000 kilometers each year! In a globe-trotting pursuit of daylight, Arctic terns fly back to their birthplaces near the North Pole during the summer to build nests on the coast or tundra and raise their offspring. At the end of the summer, they set off again for the other side of the world, the South Pole.

【極境漫遊66.5度】巴布亞企鵝
巴布亞企鵝
當夏季來臨,海冰漸漸融化,動物們紛紛回到南極。巴布亞企鵝需要在沒有冰雪覆蓋的地面築巢生蛋,因此牠們選擇在氣候較為溫和的南極半島海岸邊群聚繁殖。
Gentoo Penguin
When summer comes, the sea ice melts and animals return to the Antarctic. Gentoo penguins need to build nests and lay eggs on snowless ground, so they choose to breed on the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, where the climate is milder.

【極境漫遊66.5度】賊鷗
賊鷗
巴布亞企鵝想要成功養育下一代不是容易的事,賊鷗在旁虎視眈眈,牠們常常成對行動,一隻負責引開企鵝爸媽,一隻負責把蛋偷走。雖然背負罵名,但為了在食物缺乏的南極生存,這樣的覓食策略還是必須的。
Skua
It is not easy for Gentoo penguins to raise their offspring successfully, as the mischievous south polar skuas are watching closely for a chance to take a chick as prey. Although skuas have a bad reputation, such a foraging strategy is necessary to survive in the Antarctic, where food is scarce.

【極境漫遊66.5度】信天翁
信天翁
信天翁是世界上翼展最長的鳥類,除了繁殖期間會降落陸地之外,其他時候幾乎都在遠洋的空中漂泊。信天翁以烏賊、小魚為食,而南冰洋就是牠們廣大又富足的漁場。
Albatross
The albatross is the bird with the longest wingspan in the world. Except for landing while breeding, it spends almost all of its time drifting in the air in distant oceans. The wandering albatross feeds on squid and small fish, and the Southern Ocean is its vast and abundant fishing ground.

【極境漫遊66.5度】南極磷蝦
南極磷蝦
不過同樣把極地海域當作漁場的還有人類,大型的漁船在這裡捕捉冰魚與南極磷蝦等漁業資源。南極磷蝦是南極食物網的關鍵物種,是最重要的食物,也是企鵝、海豹、鬚鯨夏季前來南極的理由。
Antarctic krill
But humans also use the polar seas as prime fishing grounds, where large fishing boats catch arctic fish and other fishery resources such as Antarctic krill. Antarctic krill is a critical species in the Antarctic food chain, the most important food source for many creatures and the reason why penguins, seals, and baleen whales come to the Antarctic in the summer.

【極境漫遊66.5度】豹海豹
豹海豹
豹海豹的體重可達600公斤,牠們的食物包括磷蝦、魚、烏賊,但靠著強而有力的流線型身軀,巨大的下巴,以及銳利的牙齒,豹海豹更是讓企鵝聞風喪膽的兇猛掠食者,牠們潛藏在水中,於冰塊邊巡視,等待企鵝進入海中的那一刻。
Leopard Seal
Leopard seals can weigh up to 600 kg and their food includes krill, fish, and squid. But with their strong and powerful streamlined body, huge jaws, and sharp teeth, leopard seals are also a fierce and terrifying predator of penguins. They hide in the water, patrolling around the ice, waiting to ambush penguins the moment they enter the sea.
-
2022-01-11
【極境漫遊66.5度】虎鯨
虎鯨
豹海豹雖然已是頂級的掠食者,一旦遇上了虎鯨,豹海豹便成為了獵物。虎鯨好比海中的狼群,當牠們成群合作狩獵時,甚至可以獵食其他體型更為巨大的鯨魚。
Killer Whale
Although leopard seals are already apex predators, once they encounter orcas, they become prey. Orcas, also called killer whales, are like wolves of the sea. When they hunt together in packs, they can even hunt other whales that exceed them in size.

【極境漫遊66.5度】藍鯨
藍鯨
地球上最大的動物——藍鯨,也來到了廣闊的南冰洋。這位海中巨人的體長可達30公尺,體重接近180公噸,一天可吃下5000公斤的磷蝦!南北極的生態是這樣的豐富而無可取代。在讚嘆自然的同時,我們也要正視人類對環境造成的影響,極力做出改變,讓南北極的冰凍樂園能夠永遠存續。
Blue Whale
The largest animal on earth, the blue whale, has also arrived in the vast Antarctic Ocean. This behemoth of the sea can reach 30 meters in length and weigh nearly 180 tons, and it can consume 5,000 kilograms of krill a day! The ecology of the polar seas is extremely rich and irreplaceable. While admiring nature, we should also address the impact of human beings on the environment and try our best to make changes so that the frozen paradise of the Arctic and Antarctic regions can thrive in perpetuity.
