Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。

Dinophysis recurvaは、属の特徴である曲がった細胞形状と側方翼状突起を持つ鎧をまとった海洋渦鞭毛藻類である。世界中の温帯および熱帯の海の沿岸・外洋プランクトン環境に生息する。このクレプト葉緑体性生物は餌の隠藻類から葉緑体を盗んで光合成を行う。
