Mallomonas allorgei is a silica-scaled chrysophyte flagellate in the family Mallomonadaceae, characterized by its ovoid cell body covered in intricately structured siliceous scales and bristles. It inhabits oligotrophic to mesotrophic freshwater lakes and ponds, where it contributes to phytoplankton diversity. The silica scales of Mallomonas species preserve well in lake sediments and are used as paleolimnological indicators of past water chemistry.

Tiger

The largest wild cat on Earth, tigers can exceed 300 kg and inhabit forests from the Russian Far East to Southeast Asia. Solitary ambush predators with distinctive orange and black striped coats that provide camouflage in dappled light. Critically endangered, with fewer than 4,000 remaining in the wild due to poaching and deforestation.
