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。

Methanospirillum lacunae はMethanospirillaceae科のらせん形嫌気性メタン生成古細菌で、水素と二酸化炭素またはギ酸からメタンを生成する。下水汚泥、湿地、湖底堆積物などの嫌気性環境に生息する。
