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.

arroz

El cereal mas importante en la historia de la humanidad, el arroz alimenta a mas de la mitad de la poblacion mundial y es el grano basico de Asia, Africa y America Latina. Domesticado a partir del Oryza rufipogon silvestre hace aproximadamente 9,000 anos en el valle del rio Yangtze en China, el cultivo del arroz ha dado forma a civilizaciones, paisajes y ecosistemas. Sus cultivos de arroz inundados crean extensos humedales para aves migratorias, anfibios e invertebrados acuaticos, al tiempo que producen importantes emisiones de metano.
