Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指(橈側種子骨)を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急(VU)へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

Euglena desesはEuglenaceae科の光合成ミドリムシ類鞭毛虫で、顕著なミドリムシ運動(代謝運動)を行う細長い円柱形の細胞体で区別されます。水たまり、溝、湿った土壌表面を含む栄養豊富な淡水環境に生息し、しばしば緑色バイオフィルムを形成します。単一の突出鞭毛で光合成を最適化するために光に向かって移動します。
