Fahad Sayad (الفهد الصياد)

The fastest land animal on Earth, reaching speeds of 112 km/h over short distances across African and Iranian grasslands. Slender build with a deep chest, long legs, and distinctive black tear-stripe markings. Unlike other big cats, cheetahs vocalize with chirps and purrs. Vulnerable, with only ~7,000 remaining due to habitat fragmentation and competition with larger predators.

Pseudokephyrion alaskanum is a chrysophyte algal flagellate enclosed within a vase-shaped or flask-shaped lorica, found in freshwater habitats including lakes and bogs in Alaska and potentially other northern regions. It is a mixotrophic organism capable of both photosynthesis and phagotrophy. This species contributes to freshwater plankton communities in subarctic and boreal aquatic ecosystems.
