Oso Polar

El mayor carnivoro terrestre de la Tierra, el oso polar puede superar los 700 kg y se encuentra en el hielo marino del Artico, desde Canada hasta Rusia. Es un mamifero marino altamente especializado que depende del hielo marino para cazar focas anilladas y barbadas. Excelente nadador capaz de cubrir grandes distancias en agua abierta. Clasificado como Vulnerable, sus poblaciones soportan una presion severa por la rapida perdida de hielo marino artico debida al cambio climatico.

Shewanella algae es una bacteria gramnegativa y facultativamente anaerobia de la familia Shewanellaceae, frecuentemente aislada de ambientes marinos como el agua de mar, los mariscos y los sedimentos marinos. Es un organismo ambiental importante involucrado en los ciclos del hierro y el azufre. Su estado de conservacion no esta evaluado.
