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。

Euglena gastrosteus は紡錘形の柔軟な細胞体と明るい水生環境での光合成を可能にする葉緑体を持つ淡水ミドリムシ類です。有機物に富む池、溝、緩やかに流れる淡水に生息します。すべてのミドリムシと同様に独立栄養と従属栄養を切り替えることができ、鞭毛を使って水柱を移動します。
