Ceratoneis closteriumは、繊細に先細りした湾曲した細胞端を持つ細長い三日月形の海産・汽水珪藻類だ。温帯から熱帯海域にかけての沿岸海洋および河口域の浮遊環境に生息する。この光合成珪藻は植物プランクトン群集に寄与し、沿岸水域で動物プランクトンの餌となる。

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン（Giraffa camelopardalis）は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
