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。

Laminariocolax tomentosoides はEctocarpales目に属する微細な褐藻で、コンブなどの大型褐藻の組織内に内生的に寄生する。宿主の皮層細胞内に分岐した糸状体のフェルト状層を形成し、茶色の変色や組織損傷を引き起こすことがある。軽度懸念と評価されており、温帯の岩礁海岸に広く分布する。
