Komodo Dragon

El dragón de Komodo es el lagarto viviente más grande. Se encuentra únicamente en unas pocas islas indonesias.

Paradiacheopsis solitaria es un mixomiceto (moho mucilaginoso) que típicamente produce esporangios aislados e individuales en lugar de agrupados, como indica su nombre de especie. Crece sobre madera en descomposición y residuos vegetales en entornos forestales. Como todos los mixomicetos, alterna entre una fase plasmodial móvil y una fase de esporulación sésil durante su ciclo de vida.
