タコウチュウジクカイメン

<em>Axinella polypoides</em>, commonly known as the Common Antlers Sponge, is a marine sponge in the family Axinellidae. This species has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN and has been recorded in waters off Norway, among other European marine environments. The Common Antlers Sponge is an erect, branching sponge that typically forms irregularly branched, tree- or antler-like colonies in yellow to orange coloration, which are visually distinctive on the rocky substrates of the Mediterranean Sea and the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. It typically grows attached to hard substrates such as rocks and corals in subtidal zones, often in areas with moderate to strong water currents that deliver particulate food. As a filter feeder, it draws water through its porous body to extract organic particles and microorganisms. This sponge can reach substantial sizes and is often found in deeper, clear-water habitats. 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。
