León

El felino salvaje más grande de Africa, el león puede alcanzar hasta 250 kg y es el único félido social, viviendo en manadas en sabanas y praderas del Africa subsahariana. Los machos se distinguen por sus icónicas melenas. Como depredadores apicales, regulan las poblaciones de herbívoros y mantienen el equilibrio del ecosistema. Clasificado como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y el conflicto entre humanos y vida silvestre.

Vibrio cholerae es una bacteria acuática gram-negativa, con forma de coma y altamente móvil, agente causal de la pandemia de cólera en humanos. Habita estuarios costeros, deltas fluviales y entornos marinos cálidos, frecuentemente asociada al plancton, especialmente copépodos. Esta bacteria facultativamente anaerobia se propaga a través de agua y alimentos contaminados, causando diarrea acuosa severa con gran impacto en salud pública.
