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.
Rhizobium wenxiniae es una bacteria gramnegativa fijadora de nitrogeno de la familia Rhizobiaceae, capaz de formar nodulos simbiologicos en raices de plantas leguminosas. Habita suelos y ambientes rizosfericicos donde fija nitrogeno atmosferico a cambio de carbohidratos suministrados por la planta hospedadora. Esta especie contribuye a la fertilidad del suelo y es relevante para practicas agricolas sostenibles.
