Jirafa

La jirafa (Giraffa camelopardalis) es el animal terrestre más alto de la Tierra, puede alcanzar 5,5 metros de altura y pesar hasta 1.750 kg. Su elongado cuello, que contiene las mismas siete vértebras cervicales que todos los mamíferos, evolucionó para alimentarse de acacias en sabanas y bosques africanos. Animal social que vive en manadas sueltas, se comunica mediante infrasonidos y lenguaje corporal. Clasificada como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y la caza furtiva.

Gloeocapsa granosa es una cianobacteria colonial de la familia Chroococcaceae que forma células encerradas en vainas gelatinosas granulares y multiestratificadas. Habita en sustratos terrestres y de agua dulce, incluidas rocas y suelos húmedos en todo el mundo. Su estado de conservación no ha sido evaluado.
