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。

Phacus hamelii は葉緑体と独特の後部尾状突起を持つ扁平で非対称な細胞体の単細胞光合成ユーグレナ類藻類である。有機物の豊富な池、側溝、緩流水域を含む淡水環境に生息する。他の Phacus 種と同様に、鞭毛で移動し光合成と従属栄養摂食の両方を行う。
