Elefante de Sabana
El elefante africano, el animal terrestre más grande de la Tierra, puede alcanzar 7.000 kg y habita sabanas, bosques y humedales del África subsahariana. Con estructuras sociales complejas lideradas por matriarcas, se comunica mediante infrasonidos, rugidos y contacto físico. Como ingeniero del ecosistema, modela su hábitat arrancando árboles, excavando aguadas y dispersando semillas. Está catalogado como Vulnerable, con poblaciones en declive por la caza furtiva de marfil y la pérdida de hábitat.
Staphylococcus lentus es un coco grampositivo coagulasa-negativo que se encuentra principalmente en la piel de animales domesticos, incluidos ovejas, cabras y cerdos. Habita la piel y las superficies mucosas de diversos hospedadores mamiferos. Esta bacteria comensal de crecimiento lento raramente causa enfermedades, pero se aisla ocasionalmente de infecciones cutaneas en animales.
