マメボヤ

Perophora japonica is a colonial tunicate in the family Perophoridae with records in Europe and North America, including the United States. This species has not been evaluated by the IUCN. Like other members of the genus Perophora, it forms stolonate colonies in which individual zooids are connected by thin, creeping stolons rather than embedded within a shared tunic matrix, giving colonies a distinctive chain-like or branching appearance on the substrate surface. Tunicates of this type are filter feeders, drawing water through an oral siphon to extract suspended particulate organic matter, phytoplankton, and bacteria. Perophora japonica is associated with hard substrates in shallow coastal and estuarine environments, where it competes with other sessile invertebrates for space and resources. The species is presumed to have been introduced to European and North American waters through shipping, aquaculture, and hull fouling. Its ecology in introduced ranges is incompletely understood, and the extent of any ecological impact on native invertebrate communities has not been thoroughly assessed. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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。
