Echinostelium paucifilumはMyxogastria綱の中でも最も小さい部類に属する極めて微細な胞子嚢を形成する小型の変形菌です。世界中の森林の湿った避難場所となる微小生息地で、腐朽した植物材料や樹皮上に生育します。種小名paucifilumは胞子嚢内の少ない糸（毛細管糸）に由来し、この微小生物の特徴的な形質です。

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。
