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.

Salinicoccus sesuvii es una bacteria cococoide Gram-positiva halofilica, aislada por primera vez de las raices de la planta halofitica Sesuvium. Habita en marismas y suelos salinos asociados a vegetacion costera tolerante a la sal. Este quimioheterotrofo aerobio esta adaptado para crecer en condiciones de alta salinidad tipicas de los ecosistemas de marisma.
