Bambusbär

Iconic black-and-white bear of the mountain bamboo forests of central China, giant pandas can weigh up to 125 kg and spend up to 14 hours daily consuming bamboo, which comprises 99% of their diet despite belonging to the order Carnivora. Solitary and elusive, they have a pseudo-thumb for gripping bamboo stems. Downgraded from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2016 following successful conservation and breeding programs.

Staphylococcus haemolyticus is a coagulase-negative, Gram-positive coccus known for its broad antibiotic resistance and occasional opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. It is a common commensal on human skin and mucous membranes worldwide. This bacterium can cause prosthetic device infections and bacteremia in hospital settings.
