loup

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.

Staphylococcus caprae is a coagulase-negative gram-positive coccus in the family Staphylococcaceae, originally isolated from goats (Capra hircus). It is part of the commensal microbiota of goats and has occasionally been isolated from human clinical samples. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
