Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Caryophanon latum is a distinctive Gram-positive bacterium characterized by its unusually large, flat, disk-shaped cells arranged in trichomes. It inhabits animal dung and manure-rich environments, where it was first discovered in cattle dung. This bacterium feeds on the organic matter present in its dung habitat.

Dheeb

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.
