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.
Luteimonas padinae es una bacteria gramnegativa pigmentada de amarillo, aislada por primera vez del alga parda Padina en entornos marinos. Habita hábitats marinos costeros, particularmente en asociación con macroalgas. Este quimioheterótrofo aeróbico degrada compuestos orgánicos derivados de tejidos algales y materia orgánica marina.
