Black-capped Fruit Bat

The Black-capped Fruit Bat (Chironax melanocephalus) is a species in the genus Chironax. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

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.
