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。

Nitzschia flexaは属の特徴的な外観を与える特有の湾曲または屈曲した縫合線系統を持つ羽状珪藻（網Bacillariophyceae）である。淡水から汽水環境に生息し、底生および浮遊性藻類群集に寄与する。光合成微細藻類として水生食物網と一次生産において基礎的な役割を果たす。
