African elephant

地球上最大の陸上動物であるアフリカゾウは体重7,000 kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナ、森林、湿地に生息する。成熟した雌が群れを率いる高度に知的な社会構造を持ち、超低周波音やうなり声、接触によって意思疎通する。木を引き倒したり水飲み場を掘ったり種子を散布したりすることで生態系を形成するエンジニア種だが、象牙の密猟や生息地の喪失により個体数は減少しており、危急（VU）とされている。

Vibrio choleraeはコンマ形で高い運動性を持つグラム陰性の水生細菌で、ヒトにおける汎世界的コレラの病原体です。沿岸河口域、河川デルタ、暖かい海洋環境に生息し、プランクトン特にカイアシ類と関連することが多いです。汚染された水や食品を通じて拡散し、重篤な水様性下痢を引き起こして公衆衛生に大きな影響を与えます。
