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 suchlandtiは、Bacillariaceae科に属する羽状珪藻類で淡水環境に生息し、S字状または湾曲した縫合管を持つ細く細長い殻が特徴である。大型属Nitzschiaの他の構成員と同様に、底生および浮遊藻類群集に寄与し、水質化学および有機汚染の生物指標として機能する。
