Aphanocapsa sideroderma es una cianobacteria unicelular que forma agregados coloniales en vainas gelatinosas con capas externas incrustadas de hierro. Habita ambientes de agua dulce ricos en hierro, incluidos manantiales, arroyos y humedales. Esta bacteria fotosintética produce energía mediante fotosíntesis oxigénica y contribuye a la formación de biopelículas en sustratos ricos en hierro.

Chita

El guepardo es el animal terrestre más rápido de la Tierra, alcanzando velocidades de 112 km/h en distancias cortas en las praderas de África e Irán. Complexión esbelta con un pecho profundo, patas largas y distintivas marcas negras en forma de lágrima. A diferencia de otros grandes felinos, los guepardos vocalizan con chirridos y ronroneos. Vulnerable, con solo ~7.000 individuos restantes debido a la fragmentación del hábitat y la competencia con depredadores más grandes.
