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.

Salinicoccus roseus es un coco Gram-positivo halofilico de color rosa a rosado, que se encuentra en habitats salinos. Habita en lagos salados, salinas solares y suelos hipersalinos en regiones aridas y costeras de todo el mundo. Este quimioheterotrofo aerobio produce pigmentos carotenoides que pueden protegerlo de la intensa radiacion solar en su expuesto ambiente salino.
