jaguar

The largest cat in the Americas, reaching up to 100 kg with a stocky, muscular build and distinctive rosette-patterned coat. Found from Mexico through South America, with strongholds in the Amazon and Pantanal. Powerful swimmers and apex predators, jaguars play a critical role in regulating prey populations. Near Threatened, with range contracting due to deforestation.

Sphingobacterium thalpophilum is a thermotolerant Gram-negative rod capable of growth at moderately warm temperatures. It has been isolated from warm soils, compost, and clinical specimens. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades organic compounds over a broader temperature range than most related bacteria.
