giraffe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.

Rummeliibacillus suwonensis is a bacterium in the family Bacillaceae, first characterized from environmental samples collected near Suwon, South Korea. It is a gram-positive, aerobic organism that forms endospores, enabling it to survive harsh conditions. Its conservation status is not evaluated, as microbial taxa are rarely subject to formal threat assessment.
