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。

Symplocastrum friesiiは湖沼、池、湿地などの淡水生息地に生育する、しっかりと巻かれたまたは螺旋状のトリコームを形成する糸状シアノバクテリアです。独特の螺旋形態は近縁属と区別するのに役立ちます。この種は淡水生態系の一次生産に貢献し、水没基質上の底生マット群集の一部を形成することがあります。
