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。

Laminariocolax tomentosoides はEctocarpales目に属する微細な褐藻で、コンブなどの大型褐藻の組織内に内生的に寄生する。宿主の皮層細胞内に分岐した糸状体のフェルト状層を形成し、茶色の変色や組織損傷を引き起こすことがある。軽度懸念と評価されており、温帯の岩礁海岸に広く分布する。
