Australian King-Parrot

The Australian King-Parrot (Alisterus scapularis) is a species in the genus Alisterus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

Salinicoccus roseus is a pink to rose-pigmented, halophilic Gram-positive coccus found in saline habitats. It inhabits salt lakes, solar salt pans, and hypersaline soils across arid and coastal regions worldwide. This aerobic chemoheterotroph produces carotenoid pigments that may protect it from high-intensity sunlight in its exposed saline environment.
