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。

Haladaptatus paucihalophilus は Halobacteriaceae 科の好塩性古細菌で、ほとんどの極端好塩菌に比べて比較的広い範囲の塩濃度に耐えられる能力が特徴です。低塩分の硫化物に富む湧水から分離され、古細菌の中で珍しい適応を示します。種名はハロゲン化物濃度が低い環境でも生育できる能力を反映しています。
