Dinobryon borgei is a colonial freshwater chrysophyte alga in the family Dinobryaceae. Individual cells reside in vase-shaped loricas made of cellulose, and colonies form branching, tree-like structures. It is part of oligotrophic lake plankton communities and serves as an indicator of clean, nutrient-poor water. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

giraffe

The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
